Had our Reg BI call today, and the name of the game is disclosure. While the actual client conversations will change little, the amount of additional paperwork/notes/disclosures for us feels like overkill. I understand it, bit how are your firm's adapting?

Disclosure-yes. But, more importantly-will be your documentation of your disclosure. You can give clients and prospects everything you're supposed to, but if you don't keep a detailed and easily provided record of your actions and conversations- you'll be chum for the lawyers who are waiting at the starting gates.
Think about those innocuous conversations you used to have with friends, family, clients and potential clients over drinks, at social functions, while playing golf, watching the game (whenever that may be in the future) or even over lunch.
They say, "I'm retiring this fall. What should I do with my 401k?" In the new Reg BI & CRS world, your side of the conversation cannot include rollover advice. or IRA suggestions unless you provide them the required disclosures PRIOR to or at the time of your advice. That could put a chill on the next few holes while you steal the cart to race back to your car for a few handouts or get everyone's email and dash off the disclosures while you whisper "hold that thought."
No. In actuality, most folks will defer investment related conversations to a future time/appointment when you can "cover all the things your friend should consider and disclosures they should be aware of before making any decisions."

How are your firms handling how you can get disclosure to clients? I was surprised my firm is only allowing email of the crs if the client emails us and requests it. Otherwise it’s mail fax or in person. Might be tough to get a prospect to email me requesting.

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Hi All,

Any idea about the URL wherein mock test could be seen for Nagarro second round MCQ for project managers

Client recently offered me a job for an open req (industry eq SM). The work is flexible, the req is just to get me in the door but I decide what I want to work on (which I trust to be true).

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...
