Hello. I am currently renting a house in this wealthy Boston suburb with my wife and 3 young kids. I just got a new job and can now work remotely anywhere in the US. Since we want to buy our 1st house, I am looking for advice on black mid-class neighborhood with good public schools to raise my kids. Any advice is welcomed 🙏🏽

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

Bain & Company What is the likelihood of making SAC in September 2022 if I join as an AC on April 18th at Bain & Company?

They told me 6 months for promotion but it seems like the two promotion cycles with my different start dates give me 4 or 9 months of experience, nothing in between.
