Two “watches for consultants” from my personal collection. Aka watches for people who travel. These lesser known watches offer a ton of features, and come in under $500 each. Yes, they’re not Rolex/GS/Omega GMTs, and some will call the dials “too busy” and truthfully I won’t wear them as much as I used to now that I have automatic luxury pieces, but I think they’re great value and great wear if you’re worrying about coming off as too pretentious.

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Anybody have an investment property? My father and I bought a small family property near my grandmother, far away from us. My Dad always teased that he can now deduct the travel when he goes to visit his mother, because he'll stop by the property and do some light maintenance.I've been teasing back that that would be a good way to commit tax fraud. But this year I noticed that one of the deductions TurboTax explicitly prompts you to take is. . . airfare!Is it legit to deduct this travel?

Need advice: I just started this week at my new company and prior to joining I brought tickets with my friends together for a one week vacation to the West Coast. It will be the week of 7/4. Now I just talked to my manager about taking the week off, but found out we are actually really busy that week. There were some compromise, but still not ideal. I have really 3 options: change my group flight, cancel, or work during the vacation. Any other options or advice will be helpful!

#WorkFromOffice or #workfromhome What's your opinion.. 👇
I’m a newly promoted senior manager in audit and was just potentially offered a job in industry at $150k + 15% bonus. This is a 24% increase in base from my new senior manager salary and a 50% increase from where I was a week ago. It seems like a good company as well with permanent optional work from home. How good is this compared to typical offers at this level?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles? 2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend? Thank you all!

Hi all, My flight with RyanAir was cancelled due to crew strikes. I was filling out the compensation form and got to the last page where I had to submit my banks IBAN and swift code.

Do I have to contact RA directly via email?

Best casual restaurants in the world?(Preferably no fine-dine)
Definitely doable. Just depends on where you’re leaving from. Hawaii from NYC for just a 4 days wouldn’t be worth it.
I have, from Seattle, multiple times
I am in Dallas, so it’s still a long trip. But seems somewhat doable.
Totally doable. Just don’t connect. Flights are long but you can sleep on them. Upgrade if you can.
