Do FAANG employees have to sign their life away, be measured, compared, monitored, submit hours, have a ton useless annual training, and prevented from freely investing like the big 4?

Just realized I can’t contribute to a Roth since my income is too high (I think). TC ~190k and wife makes around 90k. I’ve only been contributing for a few months now at the advice from a CFP friend (he never asked me what I made). Should I go back to 401k contributions or is there a better option here? I expect my retirement income (via pension) to be higher than my HHI now.

Is it generally recommended that one does not roll over a 401k into a tIRA because it complicates the ability to backdoor Roth? Currently haven’t hit the income limit yet for Roth contributions but recently changed jobs to might take the opportunity to roll my current 401k and existing tIRA to my new employer

Big 4 HRs: how long does it take after verbal offer to receive an actual offer? I’ve had feedback that it takes days, some say 2 months...please advise thanks 😊

What’s appropriate/creative to say if a recruiter asks what makes you want to move from one big 4 to another?

How much more are you putting into investments after fully funding your 401k (19500) and hsa (7000ish)?

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

Disclaimer: ignorant on rollovers…trying to mitigate that here.
Currently rolling over my 401k with a previous employer to my current employer, per their requirement.
The previous 401k intuition cut me a couple checks (pre-tax and Roth) and now I’m supposed to mail those to the institution running my new/current 401k.
Does this mean I had to close all my positions (a loss in most cases 📉) and now have to use that lump sum to purchase new funds, albeit a lower price point (at this moment)?

Been living at my parents house for about a year since work is remote. They refuse to take rent or food money. So I bought them about $5K worth of appliances since they bought a new house. I’ll probably be moving out early next year once the office opens up. How much more should I “pay back” to parents? They’ve been too good to me and I’ve saved a lot on rent and food. But they get mad every time I try to pay for things

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

I have my Masters in HR and my PHR but I don't think HR is for me, or I may not have the confidence for this role. I want to quit my job and live off my savings which can hold me over about 6 months, but then what??

I need your advise. I recently join ey and received offer from another big 4. Who is giving me extra ctc of rs 1.70 lakh after tax and 1 lakh Joining bonus and not ready to increase it more. Is this price enough to leave ey in a one month. Please advise

Can you folks help me understand the benefits and drawbacks of opting for a Car lease Policy from Optum? I know it will help in tax savings but is it really worth it provided all the complications and hassles involved and if it binds an individual to stay long term with the organization? Kindly help if anyone has a first hand experience here of using Car Lease policy.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Has anyone here worked at or worked with Rooster Park?

Anyone have any experiences about project types, how S& stand apart, etc? Also

I'm coming from Deloitte (A&D engineer previously), where i had enjoyed/been most productive in strategy assessment projects... Part of why I'm going for S& before PwC. But would love to hear about the kinds of projects to expect, differences vs what I've done, and any other interview prep suggestions.

Thank you!

I am looking to find out what your school does with this type of situation.

This student has been an EBD student since 1st grade, has an IQ of 96 and has diagnoses of ADHD and Mood Disorder. This post continues on the first comment due to a character limit in this section.

What’s your best clueless recruiter story? First post military job, I had a company really like me and tell me they would offer me in a couple weeks. Three years later they call me up to offer me the role, but in WV instead of Florida, and were shocked I wasn’t willing to leave consulting and that my requested comp had doubled. “But this is a great opportunity!” “If it’s so great why does it pay 35% less than I make now?”

In industry right now and trying to get my gf a job at my company. Should I reach out to hiring mgr of the role and say this is my gfs resume or just say a frd? I don't know the hiring mgr.

Thanks!

I have a question for those at Amazon or any other FAANG organization. How does your company view transfers/relocations. For instance, you were brought in for a Sr. Mgr role in SF but want to go to DC. Is there an internal transfer portal or do you need to apply for the job? How is this viewed in the company? Thanks!
