Write a long, public Facebook post about how kind and generous your company is to offer you such amazing, comprehensive maternity leave. Then, if anything happens, use that as the basis for a fishbowl/agencyspy campaign of retribution.

Do a clean handoff and organize everything before you leave so they don't have any questions or curse your name while you're out.

Not that you can quite control this but the longer you’re at a job before the baby is born the easier it will be.

What state? Some let you use Vaca, maternity leave and FLMA as a stack, depending you could use that for like 14+ weeks

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable.

Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?

Between two offers, "Associate Principal" for m&a consulting in the Healthcare industry vs a Director at a F300 company doing M&A and Partnerships. Consulting pays about 50k more. What does the future look like in consulting? I am a bit nervous jumping from from "industry side" to the "consulting side".

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I struggle with perfectionism and anxiety and this job seems to not help. How can I learn to be less of a perfectionist in a job that highly rewards this kind of behavior?
