Friendly reminder that the private equity panel (I posted here previously) will be this Tuesday 6-7pm PT. Speakers are associates at royalty pharma and spectrum equity. They’ll talk about how they got into their respective roles, what it’s like to work in healthcare-focused PE vs sourcing-heavy growth equity, and answer questions from the audience. Feel free to share post. Register for event here: https://pomonacollege.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqf--tqj4qHt2wxvqIzq2AKrYEzZtD-T_t

Everyone complains about high healthcare costs in the US. I understand that it’s a complex problem including drug prices, insurances etc. But no one talks about the high physician salaries. Why do surgeons make near a million in the US while they make $250K in Canada?

The artificial supply limitation should end.

Finally, I have put down my papers in Infosys, today. While it was fairly good tenure with Infosys (been getting consistently commendable ratings), it was not so good when it came to benefits given by company. Also, the assurance given by managers for onsite opportunities, the moment you indicate you might leave, is a bluff. They will apply visa and this and that without any onsite assignment available. I have read cases people holding H1B for 2 years and yet never got the opportunity to go

Can somebody explain this to me like I'm 5: what is the difference between whole vs universal vs term life insurance, and why would I want which one? If it factors in, married, 30, no kids (yet), my income is 7x my spouse's.

Where is everyone from? What insurance do you all specify in?

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it. Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?

Hi friends, looking for some advice. I am currently in India due to a family health emergency for my mom. She is still critical and don’t have a good timeline on returning to work. I have taken pto but that will soon be over. What are my options? Will LOA impact my immigration status? I am on H1B.

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Any one please give me some clarity on TCS maternity policy. My wife is 5 months pregnant now and my joining date in tcs is 21- March. I'm I eligible for insurance amount for maternity expenses. If yes how much.

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

Ethics Q: my client created fruaduant medical documents in order to try to recover extra benefits from her injury. My thought is to settle her case with insurance company for whatever nominal amount is offered ASAP. However, this might be lower than her case is actually worth despite the the fruad. I would rather end representation as soon as possible. Thoughts? California ethics apply.

Anyone knows if ID card is being issued in the Chennai office ??

Any book recommendations on excel modeling for real world business applications?

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

When do Associates typically hear about senior associate / 3rd year offers? Is it almost guaranteed to get third year offers?

Top Corp Dev teams: Trying to find the “top” (using this as short hand, I know it’s subjective) PE shops had a bunch of resources to use. However, there are no such resources (please share if I’m wrong!) for “top” Corp dev teams. “Top” is probably some mix of caliber of people, comp, ~prestige~, etc. let’s hear y’all’s top Corp dev teams!

Interviews with a private credit / direct lending / distressed real estate group have been going on for 6 weeks and now I’m waiting for the the final decision. They said that they’ll review the case studies and make a decision soon but does anyone know how soon :((( I’m so tired and exhausted and I really want the job so much. Technical was last week and last interview was yesterday. It’s a reputable American company - how likely is it that they’ll make a decision in 2 days?

Do folks move from seed/series A VC to a HF if so for what opportunities? 3+ years experience at the fund and 1 year as a CVC portfolio manager
