Hello everyone, I just wanted to share this in case it could help someone. I also wanted to check in and see how everyone is holding up.

Does anyone from EY have insight on layoffs? I'm seeing horror stories from other firms but haven't heard anything about EY layoffs. (Manager, FSO-Advisory-Risk)

That feeling of knowing you worked your ass off and made sacrifices in your personal life for a promotion you were told you’d be getting at the end of the year, while receiving great feedback all year, only to be told “sorry, maybe next cycle….” 😔

Any raise freezes at other B4? Deloitte has remained silent thus far.

Anyone can give insight in B4 Risk in Houston/Dallas market?

Anyone worried about firms over-hiring? Our firm has hired a LOT of people. I know we need it now / the past year, but will this bubble pop?

What's the typical performance bonus for new experienced hire? Joined in Feb. I'm MBA S&O SC2 if it helps.

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

Tax question: married filing jointly for 1st time next year. Company recommends/requires me to fill out its tax calculator. Is this required? Can I just leave it at 0? What are implications if I skip this exercise? Overpay? Underpay? Enough to maybe have a penalty? Me and wife are ~$250k/$150K=$400k total.

Are there any major differences between the delta lounges at LGA?

Hi Sharks,

Looking for referrals
Skillset - Tableau, sql, alteryx
Y.o.e - 5 yrs
Serving notice period (65 days left)

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

I am a mechanical engineer and people think that because I am a "mechanical" engineer like I fix cars. It is part of the career, but it is not the same thing. It happens to others that people confuse your profession, or it's only to me?

Only recently started being out/comfortable being bi, but overcoming a lot of self stigma. Others seem so secure in the LGBT world already, it leaves me terrified how/where to begin. Help?

Rant. This guy I have been talking to started making me feel bad about who I am and my roots. About how not American I am. He started calling me odd. I blocked him but now I feel inadequate.

I’m considering going to grad school in Dublin or Sydney. Can anyone tell me what gay life is like in either of those cities?

There’s now a lawsuit in Texas challenging PREP. How much longer do y’all plan to live in the US? This is actually how I predicted this would unfold. That folks with moral objections would file a lawsuit like this, and then get it up to The Church for review, and then overturn Lawrence v Texas. This is just happening a lot faster than I thought.

I have a PwC Pride sticker, but am afraid to put it on my laptop or water bottle because I don't know how receptive my team or clients will be. Do you guys wear pride gear at werk?

Any 🐠 attending the Pilgrimage Festival in Nashville this weekend?

Friendly reminder that even in a national quarantine, you still shouldn’t text your ex.

Solo trip to Puerto Rico. Any recs? Thanks fam.

Hi all! I’ve been dating my bf for about 4 months now and there are some things he says/is into that make me believe he is either Bisexual or has gender dysphoria. I could really use someone’s advice who has a similar experience like this. Is anyone willing to chat? I just want to be supportive and helpful.

Moved to the DC area about two years ago and have yet to establish myself friendwise. I usually tag along with my partner to all of his events as I’m traveling 5 days a week and have no forum. Any...

I need to switch teams or firms. Been here for a year and no development or projects with my team. Gay network help! Lol

Who here have abs 😬

How many of you are in an interracial relationship? And what are yours and your partner's ethnicities?Just wanted to do a quick poll :)

Do you find that what you find attractive physically has dramatically changed over the years? Everything from body type to facial features I swoon over is so totally different

Can a relationship survive with two tops/bottoms? I met a guy I really liked but we are… on the same side

Anyone up ? 😉

Share stories of when you saw your hot manager or teammate naked/ almost naked (see my story in the comments)

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single. I know it's been posted about here a bunch of times before but it still sucks. Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?
