Absolutely! And when I call them out on it, they gaslight me and act like I'm being defensive or dramatic. A lot of things need to change in healthcare.

As a healthcare analyst, what do you do day to day? i am curious

like

I would say 70% of my day to day is meetings/stand ups with other teams to discuss current project stats or get everyone on the same page. Other 30% is organizing and detailing project plans, doing reports on analytics and creating dashboards based on the data. Personally thought I would be impervious to racism in this field since I work in an office and not out actually serving people like you guys do, but I was wrong (surprise surprise).

Definitely! Am I surprised? Nope.

I've seen it happen and it's incredibly upsetting

@Healthcare Analyst. I am so sorry to hear about your encounter with racism in the office setting. As healthcare professionals, how do we confront this type of behavior from your own counterparts. You’d think going through academics/ professional school would have squashed that mode of thinking. I guess, I am too trusting.

Thanks for sharing your day to day activities. What type of degree do you hold, if you don’t mind me asking.

Yes and sadly I have encountered it from my own race African American than other races. I've encountered racism and literally embarrassed the so call higher ups because they didn't realize I am not just an MA, I have credintals after my name MA.AAS.AA, CPR,AED

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

I love the satisfaction of helping clients to obtain life insurance protection who had Cancer or Coronary or other medical history who thought there chances of obtaining coverage were slim to none. :)

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Any thoughts if Virtusa would be better or HSBC India for life insurance domain as business analyst.

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
