Sorry. If products work that well, they don't have to resort to multi level marketing. R&F used to be on the shelves of Nordstroms and other department stores in the mid 2000s and failed miserably. I've seen my Facebook friends' posts who sell R&F products. Their social media blitz is ridiculous...preying on vanity of stay at home moms. Saying you to can be part of this awesome club with tons of sales consultant friends and going to conventions together (to be indoctrinated). My friend actually believes she can stay at home and make millions and will own a Lexus given to her by R&F. The whole thing is a farce. These consultations post before and after pictures in different lighting and angles with airbrushing to show their "results." I can't stand this type of deception.

I've gotten two rounds of IPL done for sun damage so far. It's amazing to see how quickly it lightens it up when I've been applying every product available for years and they did nothing.

@EY4 -- what is the downtime with IPL?

Almost nothing. My face is flushed usually the next day and maybe a little puffy, but nothing too terrible. I try to get it done on a Friday though and by Monday it's back to normal except you have these coffee ground looking spots where the hyperpigmentation was until it gradually falls off over the next week. No one can really tell though except for you.

@EY4: Agreed. I've done the same thing. Costs $350 for whole face. I lived in Hawaii for 3 years. Lots of sun damage. Biggest thing afterwards, use sun screen.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
