Do any of you know what happens if you find out mid leave that you cannot come back to the firm?

Nope, I took a sabbatical in the summer of my first year - 10 weeks. I have a friend who took one in her first and fourth years. You get paid 20% of your salary but that pretty much covers your contributions to benefit programmes.

Call the leave office. They can give you the skinny.

Yes, they are great. Firm pays 20% of your pay on a sabbatical, lets you maintain your benefits. Took one when we had a kid and have never regretted it.

Yes, I took 2 after birth of each child, in additional to paid maternity leave. It wasn't paid (I think you have to be a director or above to qualify for a sabbatical?) but definitely worth it. One was about 5m and another one 3m.

Yes. Why ? I got a sabbatical during my first year.

XLOS sabbatical isn't level dependent. Milestone sabbatical is only director/senior manager

What happened OP? Why can't you come back to the firm? I don't think anyone would do that unless you're in IFS right now...

I did. Two months right after I started to knock out the CPA exam. I wanted to take a later start date to get the exams out of the way but they needed me to start in July for 9/15 deadline so I took October and November off.

For those who work in Agencies, how do you accurately identify the work capacity of your Account Management team? I’m currently comparing against account billable/number of accounts, however, there are still discrepancies. I layer on time tracking, but smaller billable accounts will sometimes be just as demanding as larger billable accounts which create profitability issues.

Hi Fishes,

Need some help figuring out where I stand in the job market and what profiles should I apply for. Here are some of the roles I play in the team:

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.

Hoping for a bump at next review. Should I mention it now? Will either kick epic ass or fail massively in the next few months.

Thought - In the Georgia runoff elections, the best use of Democrat money would be to run ads which seem to have a conservative bent and play up the election fraud conspiracies, claiming the election system is broken and can’t be trusted. Maybe even offer up a way to grieve their frustrations with the system (that isn’t voting obviously). Would be so effing perfect if Rs lost the senate because trump cast doubt on election integrity.

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
