Did you ever feel like you had to pick between your family life or your career? We're thinking about having kids, but I worry that it may be too much to juggle if I want to be present at home and at work. Then again, I can't put my life on hold forever, right?

My wife and I did IUI, had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Now about to start IVF next week. Any advice (female 🐠) on how I can best support her over the next couple of months? I know she’ll bear 100% of the physical side (I wasn’t able to do anything during the miscarriage except watch her be in physical pain for days). Just want to know what I can do along the journey. Thank you!

My husband never reads and wants to start reading as a new hobby. What is a good book that you would recommend for a 40 year old man? Not self help books, but maybe something with action.

I’m in my second long-term relationship (first was from age 16-20, he broke up with me). My current boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and I feel like it’s time to end things.

How did you end your long-term relationship? Advice?

Hey peeps. How do y’all deal with in laws that think they have the right to see your kid basically on demand. It’s my parents actually, not my wife’s. I’m about to give them an ultimatum......

I’ve been a recruiter for almost 10 years. I don’t like it anymore. I’m not connected nor do I care about the things that I’m hiring. I’ve worked in multiple industries. I’ve done agency, contract, in-house recruiting. But i think I’m out of passion for it. I don’t know if I’m experiencing burn out or if the work culture is starting to get to me. But I’ve had it. How do you all motivate yourselves?

What is the best way to encourage kids still in school to pursue accounting? I'm talking like Sophomores/Juniors/Seniors in high school and maybe first-year of college kids. My daughter's teacher asked if I could come in for HS career/college fair day and I'm trying to put some stuff together. She said I can't embarrass her so "it can't be boring."

Do you think all adhd-ers work better from home? Since transitioning out of the office completely it's been so much easier for me to schedule things around my energy levels rather than try to turn it on for work and off when I get home. Anybody else feel this way or do you love working in the office?

I have the biggest crush on my wife right now. Married 7 years, together for 15 plus. Went through a couple years of some staleness after kids and then it hit me like a ton of bricks how lucky I am. It’s like being a teenager again. I can’t stop thinking about her and I can’t keep my hands off of her when I get home.

How would you react if your company hired a new employee to replace you after a promotion and you would still be doing part of their job 4 months in because they can't keep up? You're already busy with your new tasks but still have to provide constant support with tasks and questions, am I being too soft or should they already be able to do everything in their job description?

I'm a new adjuster but have great metrics and feel I'm doing fairly well. My family is struggling living paycheck to paycheck. I've been with my company about 7 months but I feel other companies pay more. I don't want to leave though. Any tips for asking for a salary increase? I was promoted a few months in to a tier 2 but no pay raise goes with that.

Thanks for any advice.. I'm at 47k a year. I wanted to go SIU but obviously there is no immediate significant pay bump. Ultimately aiming for 60k

Which company is better Accenture strategy or Deloitte USI or PwC India for SAP Functional consultant having 4 years of experience

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

@Partners - Is it possible for your firm to match a competing offer? How would one best approach this?

I work my best when I am busy and have upcoming deadlines. It’s either procrastination or just short of it, but I never miss a deadline and clients/partners are consistently happy with my work. I have tried forever to change this but have failed every time. Will this ever change or does this only get reinforced as you move up and keep getting more responsibility? How do you get the proverbial shit done?

What is the equivalent of a Sr MD in Accenture in IBM ? A Band C or higher ?

If there is a sought after Director for a practice being built up at PwC. Has there ever been a time that a director can go straight to partner if they have an external offer that is quite compelling ?

Basically that offer would be 1st year partner salary and build off that ? Or PwC likes to stick to it's process and only other option is down the road consider direct Admit partner?

Is it better to be a Partner in tech than in healthcare because you would hit your annual sales goals faster? Rationale being that tech just has more money to spend.

Hey Big 4 Partners, given independence constraints, I assume you buy investment properties. do you believe this to be superior to buying stocks, and what do you do to educate yourself in this process?
