EY advisory laptops - do you get to choose a model or is one just randomly assigned to you?

OP, if you get to know an IT resource in your local office and make good connections, it may lead you to some options!

ASA1, haha, it would still go through the approval flow. I was referring to noting what the options are

Thanks

I believe some advisory lines get Mac and the rest are likely the HP Elitebooks unless your client is Dell

Thank you for the input!

ASA1, I believe the digital/marketing/creative divisions. Just passing on what I’ve heard from a friend

Yeah for sure be friendly with IT. I have a friend who was assigned a Dell tablet w/ keyboard in advisory. He hated it cause it can’t really be used on a lap and asked IT nicely if they had an extra HP and they accommodated him

Just left EY, but was one of the first with a Mac. You just need to put in a business case in service now for why you need a Mac and have a SM or PPED approve. Simple if you have some relationships...

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
