First Red Bull of the season tonight...

If you get flagged for using outside material on an exam, other than automatic failure, what other consequence does an individual face? Upcoming HCM course and that’s one thing the email went hard about.

Is CFGI a good company

Thoughts on WPP Fellowships (regular or MBA)? Is it all its cracked up to be?

FBI agents, is the job worth it? I feel like there's too much going on and you have to constantly be aware of it all to make your job as "easy" as possible.

Would you ever do business with Trump?

I’m new to the job hunting scene in the US.

When you’re a junior/mid level designer, are recruiters supposed to be thought of as gods/lifelines?

Are you supposed to feel lucky when they reach out to you and are you supposed to kiss their ass as much as possible or are you supposed to think of them as your friends and be honest about your views on things like salary and such?

Will I be equally fine not relying on getting a job through a recruiter at my stage??

Where do you all go to discuss finance and investing? I earn significantly more than my family and peers from youth. For example I am currently looking into ways to reduce my taxable income.

McKinsey 🐟, are you guys still hiring for Public Sector transformation? Any experiences of how transformation projects are vs big4?

In Boston for the long weekend. Just ate at Union Oyster House and the oysters were LEGIT. Not as good at 167 Raw in Charleston, but they were mighty good.

What’s your favorite city / restaurant for oysters???

How does everyone get their sports news? I'm not interested in spending much time watching sports, but I do enjoy them, and I find I miss out on rapport, etc since I don't. A few min of sports center in the morning or something? Trying to stay in the loop without sucking 2hrs/night watching sports

MSFT or AWS? As Tech Pre Sales and why?

Hi,

I am looking out for a job desperately. Can someone help me. I have 2.5 years of experience in customer service.

Please let me know if anyone knows of any vacancies. I've tried a bunch of job placement platforms but to no avail.

I hv an option for media room or adding a extra bed room with full bath, both will add sqft to ~260sft on top of base 2710sqft.
Should I consider media room or bedroom considering resale value down the road ? & also which one would add more appraisal ?

On a positive note, one of the best things about fishbowl is the representation from executives. It has helped me put perspective into my decisions going forward. I am sure that is true for a lot of other folks who are early in their career and are able to get advice from seasoned individuals. This is in complete contrast to LinkedIn where people post unhelpful generic quotes from bland business books as advice.

A hearty thank you to you all!!

Any thoughts on working at Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae? I've heard/read mainly negative things.

Do recommendations on LinkedIn provide any value to potential employers? Do recruiters look at them? What do recruiters look at on a LinkedIn profile?

Why do so many desi men have foot fetishes?

Curious as to where/how you'll invest your savings besides a 401(k). I started trading on Robinhood then "graduated" to TD Ameritrade. I mostly buy blue chip stocks or S&P500 ETFs. Would love to gain some more perspective.

How does Big 4 Accounting firms get away with working people for 12+ hours consistently without violating any labor laws?

Would it be okay if I denied the promotion from associate to becoming a senior? I’m totally fine with being just an associate because every senior I know is extremely stressed out and telling me how much they hate their life 💀

Last Tuesday Deloitte recruiter reached out to me asking when I’d be available for an interview. I have heard nothing since. What should I do ?

What are your thoughts on jumping from EY consulting to grant Thornton for a 20% bump?

Do you guys think that after the whole new executive order (don't even want to mention his name), the existing H1b visas will be affected or is it going to only affect the process moving forward?

Anyone working in tax moved from the U.S. to U.K.? What are the different/best ways to do that? I’ve wanted to move there for years, but my tax experience seems too country specific. I’m open to a change in practice area to make the move work.

People say that when planning your career you should look at people and think ‘is this a job/life I’d want for myself.’ When I look at most partners the answer is no as I want more of a life, but like clients, the relationships, teaching staff, etc. Then when I look at most controllers and CFOs it’s also no. My only draw to industry is the lower hours. What does one do in this situation?

Has anyone ever used Talkspace? Curious if anyone would recommend them or if you would recommend something else
