There will be a formal policy/process, I imagine your General Counsel team administers it. Usually more compliance oriented but at some stage you need to discuss with your “real boss” the workload expectations. Also how to handle worst case situations, which can arise.

At BCG at least, there is a very structured and formal request/approval process, which, as MD1 also mentioned, is run by the General Counsel’s team. There’s “strict NOs” (e.g., large publicly-traded firms) and then there’s a set of fairly reasonable exceptions for non-profits, smaller companies, family-owned companies, etc. I’d direct this question to IBM’s legal team; pretty sure they’ll be happy to direct you appropriately. It’s a pretty chill non-threatening process. You can be very open about it.

Hi Team, Need your inputs. Is stability more important than the opportunity? I have an opportunity to explore how ever it's been only 6 months in current organization. Can I take the offer and switch? Does it affect the stability? Please help.

Background story - I interviewed with a company that I really want to work for for a role that I was a perfect fit for. I went through 5 rounds of interviews then was told that they ended up going with an internal referral however the entire team loved me so much and they're looking for other roles for me. I thanked them for their time and didn't really take their word but 2 weeks later I get contacted again for another opportunity on a different team. (Cont'd in comment)

I found out that I was pregnant (unplanned) last week and it has absolutely shredded my relationship. I left the home my bf and I share, and I came to stay with my family. Part of the reason it got so bad is because he vehemently wants me to get an abortion, and I don’t know if I can do it. There wasn’t even a discussion of keeping it. He told me in no uncertain terms that he would resent me forever. I need help. Can anyone recommend a virtual counselor for us? Does anyone have any advice?

What does bench life look like for you? For me a typical day looks like this 9 am- sign in and check emails 930-11 : look for a new job 11-2 lunch and nap 2-3 : sometimes meetings, mostly begging people for billable work 3-4:30 - proposal work if I have it or more job hunting 5-9pm family time and dinner 10-3am - netflix, videogames, cry myself to sleep

Anyone recently applied for Global Entry? Under employment address section.. should I put my local office or the firm address which is on official W2. Also, what office phone number did you provide? Local office or corporate number. Do they call employee for verification, as Deloitte uses WorkNumber for all emolument verification
