Do you know any effective strategies for dealing with playground bullies (primary school). Should the school teachers intervention be inadequate, what other measures can a parent take?

Do you normally go out with your bosses and discuss personal lives (family/spouse/new baby)? I’m joining a small team and they invited me out to dinner and discussed these, but I’ve never connected with any previous boss/colleague to this extent 🤨

Has anyone started a new job while expecting a child? I'm thinking about it but could use some input from people with experience.

Did anyone keep their HDHP through the birth of their child? Any regrets not going to the traditional PPO?

Considering sending wife to India for delivery for better support system. Does any one know if the child can still be a US citizen if I am a US citizen ?

The wife, baby and I are moving to Greenville SC in the spring.

Would love to hear anyone’s experiences about the city and where you’d suggest we start our house search!

Gary Vee took credit for that baby nut commercial on Twitter. Love me some Gary Vee but not so much Baby Nut.

My boyfriend has been playing duets with a neighbor of ours for the past ~8 months. His wife is due to have a baby girl in a week. What might be a nice gift? We don’t know her that well so want to play it safe!

My father wants to buy dogecoin (yes, now) and I’m annoyed because I can think of hundreds of other ways he can spend that money. But, he’s determined and convinced it’ll make him rich in 2 years.

Let’s see how this post ages..

@Cloudflare - What is the maternity + parental/bonding leave like? How long, fully paid, max time one can take, etc. TIA!

Has anyone gone into 5th month of pregnancy with the baby growing under the belly button? Looks more like a fatty pouch than a baby. Everyone else already has bumps starting from right under the boobs.

I’m what you’d call the “good kid” I always got to see the bad kids get away with stuff my whole life and I thought having a moral compass would pay off but a lot of times I feel jerks move ahead....

I am an unmarried working man in his 30s with a southern mother. In other words I'm flying home for Christmas and my mother just called to tell me that she just happened to accidentally run into the sweetest girl from her church that she just knows I'll get along with and accidentally invited her to our house for dinner the night that I get home. Deadass the woman will not rest until I am tied down. Pray for me!

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

However, for other items that fall under wage works reimbursement, I couldn’t find anything in writing yet.

I, a childless woman who does not plan to have kids, am jealous of the parental leave parents get to take from work from choosing to have a child (a big life event). I 100% understand that they are working in a different way by taking care of the baby and being deliriously worn out in the process, but it makes me sort of jealous that unless I have a kid there is no life event that I can take ~3 months away from work to focus on and enjoy, plus have my hours prorated and a job to come back to.

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

Question to immigrants with parents overseas. Anyone has experience getting their parents approved for tourist visa while immigration petition for parent is pending (I am US citizen, moms case is slowly moving and I desperately need her come visit). She’s had 15+ years on tourist visas but worry we’ll be denied this time due to “immigration case in progress”. Appreciate any tips and anecdotes.

Top passive aggressive comments you’ve seen or received via e-mail? I’ll go first.

“Let me know if you want me to clarify any points”

Translation: I feel I’ve been clear in my email but as a formality, I’ll offer to hold your hand and explain in unnecessary detail 😂

In my offer letter in job title it is just mentioned as Business Analyst - GSC ang there's no mention of GCB, though in the Soft offer it was mentioned as GCB5 - BA. Is it discrepancy in Final Offer Letter of not mention of GCB? Do I need to check with HR?
Can someone please guide on this.

Hi all, I’m working with KPMG India. I had a question, i wanted to shift to the KPMG Middle East without quitting my job. So my question is that is this possible that i get an internal job switch with the same company to the middle eastern branch or does KPMG don’t allow you to do that?

What are some things you guys wish you knew before you started your NetSuite implementation?

I’m at a small company that’s sort of becoming medium sized, and a new exec pushing to quickly implement NetSuite and I just want to make sure we’re not getting in over our heads, he’s trying to get this done within two months

We currently use Salesforce, quick books, and excel, we’ll be consolidating a lot of accounting and finance stuff into netsuite and integrating it with Salesforce

KPMG Recruiters are the most unprofessional of the Big Four.

Change my mind.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Can we take back resignation on the last day in lti?

Hi fishes,

I have been given rank 42(senior tech lead 3) for my 12+ years of experience . Is that correct one ? I'm not much aware of the ranking and designation in EY, could you tell me if this is corect or should I ask something else for my experience? I am yet to accept the same as I got confused with the designation

I am wondering if I can do this. It feels daunting but also I’ve accepted an offer from another company but don’t know if it is what I want but I think I also don’t feel comfortable in my current situation. I wonder how long I could maybe do this but not sure.

Looking for some material for a crash course in IT strategy consulting - books article etc. any recommendations would be appreciated

Does any of online case practices actually work? They are super pricy... I'm wondering what they offer vs free resources... Would appreciate any recommendations (book, website, program, etc).

3 weeks of pto left and planning on quitting in two months when my year hits and I get to keep my sign on. Anyway I can just work until three weeks before my year mark and then two weeks beforehand tell my team I’m resigning. Or just ask for week of pto and then work abs then get payout?

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

Which is the most laid back, good WLB big 4 and why is it not Deloitte?

How do you explain our jobs to the Average “Joe/Jane”?
For some reason just saying Consultants made my neighbours think I was a medical doctor(this is in UK)! The joys! 😆

I am signing an offer this week at a different consulting firm, but want to stick it out through my project at my current firm over the next month. (Actually really enjoy the project just think the other firm is a better fit).

Am I obligated (morally or otherwise) to tell my firm that I’ve signed another offer? Or is it ok to stay on and work?

(Don’t have to start at the new firm for another month after that).

It was all a dream

🐠 Fam - What’s a good whiteboard solution for my home office? What do you use and from where do I get it? Thanks!

Need a NORMAL person who can create a SIMPLE WordPress site for me. It is SIMPLE. Should take 3 HOURS MAX. I will pay a reasonable rate. Need work done IMMEDIATELY. Need someone who will work WITH me on it, so I understand what they have done, and I UNDERSTAND and can UPDATE MYSELF going forward.
Thank you.

Is Advisory seen as lower tier at Deloitte compared to Consulting? Any service lines that are exceptions?

I fucking love these Settler commercials. "And you have your foot stomping".

I need more of my associates to be like frank from catch me if you can...

Any idea why EY is not on the list of Vault 50 top consulting firms but it is on the prestigious list?
