Hi All,

I’m filling out my background check for my Deloitte offer. Is the professional career start date the date I started my job after college or literally the date I had my first job (if it’s in the 25 years Deloitte asks about)?

My security clearance asks for 10 years but nothing before 18, and it seems weird if Deloitte wants to know high school jobs.

Any help would be appreciated!

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

Do you file FBAR every year and declare your Indian assets?

For those looking to move back to India, does it make sense to withdraw 401(k) given the 10% penalty is being waived off at the moment? And you have a 3 yr window to pay tax on the withdrawal.

My fiance is an American any idea if PwC sponsors green card if I filed through marriage or if I had to do it myself how would one go about it?

FFS. Was on H1 and went on a UK project for an year (not intentional , just opportunistic). Was planning to come back on L1 this year and now, this Executive Order is imminent. Eligible people, please vote him out. (Also, for the select few of you, before you start, I was educated in the US, paid my taxes for last 10 years - so, don’t go off on your tangents)

A company offered a role, but then went back to the legal team to see if they can do H1 transfer. The job is not aligned with my degree but my past 9 years of work ex has been. How do I try to convince them?
