Anyone here who’s moved from canada to the US for work? I want to pick your brain about your transition. Did you cut ties with Canada (i.e. cancelled health insurance), how did you earn credit in America, how do you get taxed, etc. Making the move soon with no clue or direction on how to prepare for it.

New to insurance, please can someone explain what "capacity" means in the context of a managing general agent or coverholder in the insurance world? E.g. "An MGA securing more capacity to write D&O lines"

I pay $500+/month for health care premium and after going to urgent care for an injury I still ended up with a bill that was over $500. Curious to know if any freelancers are not on a healthcare plan and how that affects your taxes for the year.

If you had to guess when oncycle will be, what would you say? I’ve heard funds were disappointed by participation rates and quality last time, so I’m curious to see if they can show enough discipline to wait this year.

How do first rights (ROFR) work at ones death? If the company has the right to shares anytime there’s a transfer of possession, does that mean the inheritors have to make an offer to the estate for the shares and obtain the boards approval/rejection of the offer?

I’m leaving my job soon but I’m wondering if I should be truthful when I hand in my letter of resignation. There’s a ton of reasons but it boils down to: I’m worth more than they can pay me and I need to pay off these student loans. What should I say?

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.

What are some side hustles you’re doing? I’m looking for ways to make additional money.

Can anyone explain why the Aston southend is so expensive ? 2.9k for a 1 bedroom?

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?

When will i receive retention incentive, mentioned at my joining letter..??

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
