Folks from NY/NJ- does anyone have a recommendation for a good Ob/Gyn for maternity and post delivery care? We are based in Jersey City and are able to drive around 45 mins. Primarily looking for a Level 4 NICU (likes of NYU Langone, Weil Cornell) where the Ob/Gyn will deliver.
Thank you!

Hi Fishes,
My zs joining date is June 1, before that when can I expect the joining formalities and onboarding process and laptop.
As of now there is no intimation except Idfy verification. Would be great help if you please suggest.

Hey all! Would really appreciate feedback on my current financial approach and making an actual financial plan (HELP pls lol)
This assumes I just got my direct deposit.

I contribute 25% to my workplace retirement acct. when I get paid, I apply a lump sum to my student loans or other debt. With the leftover, I’m having trouble coming up with a monthly investing plan. I have a Roth IRA and will max for 2022 (VT/VTI). I fund a rollover IRA+brokerage, no traditional IRA. Any thoughts, ideas?

Currently at a top management consultancy with base $75k, anyone know what firms / in-house I could look at that offer higher base salaries for a Paralegal with 6 years experience?

When are Pune offices reopening?

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

I started a new role 3 months ago and I don’t feel like I’m being set up to succeed. There was basically no onboarding. I have no clue who to go to for anything. We have no central repository for old documents, so I’m constantly fumbling around & starting from zero. I keep finding systems or programs that someone was supposed to get me access to/train me on but never did. I’m so stressed out because I never know if I’m missing something huge. Is this normal..or do I need to start job hunting?

Any good books or recommendations on sales? Sales tactics trips and tricks?

Asking for a friend—joining Accenture TDP in about 2 weeks. He’s wondering how important it is to live near his home office and if its extremely necessary. It is not a possible for him to relocate now

I need some advice, Wife forced me to buy her a $68,000 car with 1000/monthly payment for 6 years. We need to sell now due to potential move out of country. Best offer from dealers is 52k. Meaning I have to cough up the difference or keep paying 1k a month for something we don’t need. How can I reduce this liability??

I need to take a leave of absence for mental health purposes. How do I bring this up with my boss? Or do I talk to HR directly? I took some time off this month due to burnout but I did not tell them that was the reason. I thought I'd be okay when I got back, but I'm not. I don't know if they will give me the leave of absence. How should I go about this?

Thoughts on the firm CapTech?

Why is so much dependent on utilization? Does leadership really think that people are sitting around doing nothing on the bench?

Our project teams don’t get along, collaboration is poor. Tensions are high. And also my own project team disagrees a lot too and doesn’t communicate enough. What to do? My direct project team is working outside of the US.

Have a flight in May with Delta that I won't be taking anymore. They just added a stop to a nonstop flight, but email says I can only get a credit if I cancel. Will they refund if I push? No status.

Curious, and I know this varies on level/practice, what are partner salary ranges at KPMG vs EY (generally speaking)?

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time

Anyone leave for a startup from consulting. How did you negotiate equity?

It's not hard to be a good consultant. It is hard to be a great consultant. Does anyone else agree?

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

Why was Parthenon-EY rebranded EY-Parthenon?

Does anyone else find these Deloitte info graphic slides in PPT hard to use unless you don’t want to customize it? It’s so fucking delicate. One wrong move and it looks like shit.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Is there a quick way to earn status on delta?

I want to start bringing my PS4 with me while I travel, but I'm maxed out in carry-ons. 😞
