Hey all! I’m relatively new to London and wanted to create a group for those interested in broadening their social circle and connecting with other people. I’d rather keep this group to those who want to actually form friendships and genuine connections with other people in the city rather than professionally network - so dial down the professional and dial up the personal. Not sure how this bowl will work exactly, but we’ll figure it out - drop a message below to introduce yourself!

Anyone here from Orlando, Florida? Looking to meet and grow my network be friends with people from my community. I’m 23 yrs old. I don’t mind if you’re younger or older (preferred)

Tips on how to start an upward feedback conversation? The SM on our job is making the team miserable. Not a bad guy, but I think we will all benefit from him being made aware of the team's concerns

Does anyone use peptides as part of their skincare routine? Yay or nay?

BCG or McKinsey for consumer goods/retail?

Does KPMG send you a rejection email? Did my last round last week Friday and haven’t heard back. Followed up with the recruiter and she said she’s following up with the team

General Question!
According to the new Wage Rules, are companies giving Basic Salary as 50% of fixed Pay? Should we ask HR of our current company or the next company to actually do the same? Or the rule isn't a mandate and it's upon companies to follow it ?

Big4 partners, do you feel the journey has been worth it when gauging by the variables of money, family, sphere of influence, and happiness? Or industry still seems more alluring? Thanks for your wisdom.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

My fictitious debt to income ratio was too high for them to approve me, and it took seven days for my loan to be officially back in repayment. So just a heads up.

In process of buying a house, both my surveyor and specialist damp contractor found damp under kitchen tiles (In the grout) & in skirting boards and up one wall. Sellers had work done initially in 2014 on the wall only(with garuntee) & their company has visited and assured there is no damp… what is next best course of action, get another damp specialist to examine independently of other reports? I don’t trust them….. (U.K. Victorian terrace, damp is in the kitchen extension built circa. 15 y/o)

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Just got an offer from PwC for 47.5K for SA role in Manchester. Feels kinda low considering everyone just got a 7%+ pay raise. Can anyone comment if this is in line or not? I was told this would put me above the SA band

I’m taking the CFP exam Nov 8th. All tips/tricks welcomed !!

Thank you so much.

In general, how do you negotiate salary? Do you give salary expectations at certain % higher than you realistically want / know the market is at? Do you explain your reasoning or just shoot your shot?

Recommendations for headphones for calls that pair well with a dell?

Hi All, New in london. Any plans to meet this coming weekend?

Hey all - I am going to create a WhatsApp group for those who would be interested in meeting up so we can coordinate group hangouts. I’ll still post here to let the broader group know too, but if you’re interested in joining just DM me!

📣📣📣 New event: picnic in the park over the Bank Holiday weekend — 5pm Saturday, June 4 @ Primrose Hill (Camden)! BYO suggestions: food, drinks, picnic blanket, and a friend (if you’d like). This will be super chill. Feel free to drop by whenever. We should be there for a few hours. I’ll post a location pic in this bowl day-of so people know where we’re at.

Hey guys! Happy Jubilee weekend 👑 By the looks of it, the picnic is a no-go this Sat, June 4 due to the weather… so for those interested, we’re meeting at Mercato Metropolitano @ 3pm instead. Should be there for a few hours. Not sure what the crowds will look like, but hopefully we’ll find a spot. Feel free to drop by! Will post a pic of where we land or just DM me to join the WhatsApp group. Address: 42 Newington Causeway SE1 6DR (closest station - Borough)
