Is there any probability that the US might close their borders due to Covid-19 in the near future? (Currently on a visa and thinking of traveling abroad for the holidays)

I have a colleague who is unvaccinated and tested positive for COVID (he text me to let me know). He lied to the firm about his vaccination status since late last year and he went to the office on Tuesday before he found out on Wednesday that he was tested positive. We were all in the conference room together so, I’m exposed to it as well. He refused to notify the firm about his COVID status and putting all those whom he had come in contact at risk. What should I do?

How is everyone doing presently in the Oil and Gas world (mentally, physically, emotionally)? We appear to have survived one of the two "black swan" events, but COVID still looms.

Parents of COVID babies: How long did you wait to have visitors meet the baby? Even your parents?

What agency has done the best work since Covid started?

Somewhere, there is a journalist that has already written a piece on the spike in CoVID cases due to the Tulsa rally held by trump. Waiting to publish it in 2-3 weeks. You heard it here 1st.

Hi,
I'm working as a doc controller in an eng firm. I have done masters in marketing lol.
After covid i DO NOT want to go to office. I want to work from home.
What are the jobs I must be looking for ???
I'm also on mat leave right now and hoping to switch jobs before I start

COVID policy for interns. How are you handling? Paid time off? Case-by-case? Are you sharing a specific policy (yes, I know it differs state-to-state)?

Anyone’s insurance cover Covid antibody testing? Wanna time my next booster right but curious how might I might have to pay out of pocket for this knowledge.

If you’re an antivaxxer or over boosters, move along, this thread isn’t for you.

If anyone is looking for a last minute volunteer for panel and speakers for AAPI. Please DM me. I’ve been stuck in a Covid loop and forgot about this time of the year. Would love to be part of the events.

Are you guys doing all right? Lot of folks in my team (or someone in their immediate family) is down with Covid! Cases in Delhi are rapidly increasing.

Does anyone know if you travel internationally, do you also need proof of negative covid upon return to the US? As in need to get tested at the foreign country?

Rumor has it KPMG Boston has the Coronavirus

Seeing a lot of convo in the main bowl about bonuses in the US. They are mentioned on the rewards site but are these really a thing in the UK? and if so what do they look like usually at different levels?

I joined sept 2019 as lvl11, no bonus that year, then covid in 2020, now I’m at lvl 10 and wondering if individual bonus is normal at my level

Ok folks, we saw my husband’s family outdoors, distanced and asked them to wear masks. We have a 4 month old and I am high risk so we are very covid cautious. Everyone did but our 4 year old nephew. Is it unreasonable to expect the 4 year old to wear a mask? He has a difficult time staying 6 feet away. I am reading that the CDC suggests children over 2 wear masks but not sure if this is really being followed?

I’ve committed to a life coaching program to make changes that are needed to support me in leveling up personal and professional goals. A fresh start for my post-Covid world. I’m showing up for me.

Not sure if anyone has experience with this but figured I’d ask. My 8yo daughter has been gaining weight over the last 2 years. Started during covid being home a lot and I guess eating more than normal. Schedules now are back to normal and she’s still gaining. I’ve gotten rid of all unhealthy food in the house but she will eat a lot of everything, always wants seconds and very hard to control. I don’t know what to do. Is it too early for a nutritionist?

Anyone who works at Salesforce, what's the deal with certifications? Do they waive the fee? Do we get a stipend for getting one or specific high demand ones?

Thanks!

Guys I need your help, my LWD day is 19 Aug in TCS
I have offer from LTI for 26 CTC.
My previous company Wipro wants to rehire me for the same client I worked earlier with onsite.
I am in dilema as I aggressively chased LTI HRs for offer and now Wipro wants me back.
What should I do ?

I’ve always thought that I’m a decent human who cares about ppl I work with through my actions. got a reality check with only average response for LOOP where just 1 of many ppl that submitted cared to share detailed feedback. Since it is a longer projects working togethr for abt 1yr, with this being the only LOOP during it, suddenly I feel this is representative of their true perception of me. As a team I’ve had their backs in leadership discusions n feedbck, bt now I feel disappointed n annoyed

Is it common for women to change their last name upon marriage? My boyfriend really believes this notion because he sees everyone else doing it and believes in tradition. However, the legal implications of name change scares me, especially since I’m not a US citizen and already sounds like a logistical nightmare as I need to make changes in two different countries(Canada and US) in order to change my name.

Does anyone know what an IT audit consultant with a top secret clearance (no sci poly) could make at Deloitte?

This person has some technical IT experience and IT service desk for many years while in military. They just finished a degree so this would be a career transition in line with that. Just trying to make sure they can get the best offer possible!

Will we get salary credited tomorrow? 30th and 31st and weekends

Does anyone know the pay increase from Analyst to Senior Analyst for Midwest/Chicago office?

Anyone enroll in dual insurance coverage? My wife is currently on my employer’s plan with me with a 25k lifetime fertility max. That’s 1.5-2 cycles of IVF as I understand it. We might need more, and her employer’s plan would also have a fertility benefit, so we’re thinking of dual enrolling her in both my employer’s plan, as well as her employer’s plan. Anyone else do this?

HR/human capital/PAS consultant 🐠: If I have a Masters degree in HR and 2 years experience, is it worth it to get the aPHR or SHRM-CP? Or is the Masters degree enough? Should I wait for SPHR/SHRM-SCP

Is it considered bad to move constantly from one job to the next multiple times in the current professional environment? The comp bumps are extremely compelling!

Have you ever contemplated leaving Big Law? But the money keeps you here...

I am pregnant with my 2nd and my job is very demanding. First trimester was bad for me with my first pregnancy and I took 2 months unpaid personal leave.
I can't afford that now and cannot risk my job. Not in public accounting anymore. I work in SEC reporting at a pharmaceutical company.

I am so thankful to be working from home for sure. I am just really dreaded to turn on my computer everyday with this hell of a morning sickness.

If you have been in similar situation. What worked for you?

Any CAMS certified people out there? Tips? Tricks?
Is it worth getting?

Is organisational consulting at MBB respected as much as other capabilities? Do you think it has worse exit ops?

How did you like “In the Heights?”

Anyone going to the ALPFA convention? Should we try to do a Fishbowl meet there?

So for all my first generation consultants, I don’t think anything can replace that feeling you get after reciving that first offer at a big prestigious firm. Knowing you are only a couples months out of college, that all your parents sacrifices and all your hard work has finally paid off. (I’m not talking about guidehouse where I have a non-consultant role)

Hola! Thanks for the invite. Half PR! Hope we can connect

Hola mi gente! I'm new to consulting and recently moved to Dallas. Anybody interested in meeting for happy hour or meetups? Would like to grow my network.

Latino vs Hispanic, thoughts?

I always preferred Hispanic since Latino seemed imprecise (e.g. technically French Canadian could be considered Latino).

Me encanta ♥️

All this Latino panels and events are always about Americans with Latino heritage that know pretty little about Latin America. There is never space for immigrants.
