You are covered for one month after your contract is terminated by default. You can check this with your HR but I just went through a similar transition and used my previous insurance even 3 weeks after I left the firm.

If you’re with BCG you normally have coverage for one month after you leave, check with the HR team on this but there used to be a grace period

Do you have an ongoing expensive treatment? If not, i would say just pay out of pocket for that month. The hassle and price of coverage will be so draining

I mean yeah its the smart responsible thing to do but im a lazy git haha so maybe my suggestions not good

Maybe ask your new firm to start coverage 2 weeks earlier? Potentially pay something out of pocket but at least will be easier admin wise and allows continuity later when you get to the new firm.
Which reminds me when I left my previous firm there was a requirement on them to extend my insurance coverage till I get a new one, might want to check that out.

McKinsey’s health insurance is valid for 3 months after your last day at the firm. Check if BCG has something similar

Yess thanks guys! Just checked and there is a 30 day coverage after final day

Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

What all are the benefits IQVIA provides. Need to understand on below points-

1. Leaves
2. Meals
3. Transportation
4. Medical benefits (like dental, optical)
5. Allowances
6. WFH
7. Bonus that excludes from CTC and variable
8. Annual/Half yearly parties
9. Goodies or gifts during major festival
10. Anything else 😅

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
