I have four years left on H1b, I am planing to start MBA next year. Can I resume the same H1b post MBA?

I have an IT background and most recently completed my Master of Science in Accounting degree, and now working on the CPA exam. However, I find it extremely difficult to find an accounting firm that is willing to sponsor for the H1B visa for any entry level accounting job roles. Since I don’t have any accounting experience, it seems I can only target entry/associate level accounting roles, and I haven’t had any luck yet. Can anyone shared some advice on how to obtain a sponsorship in accounting?

Debating when to have the first baby… would you say having a baby is totally worth it ? Worth all the struggles and sacrifices? Or should I wait an extra year just to save more money and enjoy life now without the extra sacrifices… (female 27 & want to have 2 kids)

Any EY managers here in PI Advisory with MBA from target school? What is your Manager level/SSL, and current salary?

I just found out my cousin is pregnant. I’m a little upset because I assumed she wasn’t having kids. She’s 38 and her husband is 45. I’m happy for them but now I feel more alone on my childfree journey. Anyone else get tired of being the black sheep? 🥺

Rising audit senior thinking of pivoting to forensics. Not sure if I want to stay at EY, but should I wait to get any forensics certification until I make the switch? Also, is it better to have a CFE vs. CFF? I already have my CPA

Hi ladies. I hope you’re well. I’m curious if anyone has adopted a child as a single parent?

In the tail end of mid 20s now (so not planning to do it till like my early 30s) but just trying to do research / curious.

Anyone else feel really sad today? All my friends are posting pictures of thier babies, while I cry over the scans of my baby that I miscarried. Sigh

How do people manage the consultant lifestyle with young children? I just joined consulting and have a 9 month old and want to have another. I’m not sure how I will manage traveling and long hours. (Background: I am in my early 30’s and joined consulting late as I spent first 5 years post-undergrad working in a low paying career then got my MBA. I feel like moving up the consulting ladder is the only way to make up for lost time and several years of low pay. Wife can work part-time, 2 days/week)

Do any of you ladies feel like you have zero friends since you travel every week. Every single person I know in my neighborhood is my husband’s friend. Feel sad and frustrated I have no friends!!

Curious. Is there any other teachers out there who wish they had parenting classes to help special need children because as the teacher you don’t want to overstep the teacher-parent relationship? Like I have one parent who just needs some extra guidance with their kids, but I don’t want to overstep my boundaries. Any suggestions?

Weather is crap and we’ve devolved to letting my almost 2year old watch 3+ hrs of tv a day when before he got barely any. Do I need to feel guilty? I’m pregnant and working and can’t deal

Two parter, maybe three. First year partner looking to move out of Illinois.

1. What to partners typically spend on their house (wife doesn't work)? Something in the 1-2mm range seems reasonable, but maybe over the top also, curious to hear opinions

2. Considering moving to the Orlando area, we vacation there a lot with young kids. Interested to hear any POVs you may have

Happy Holidays

Insight or feedback on 1 year MBA programs?

I've been in PeopleOps (mostly focused on TA Ops) for over 9 years now. I've somehow gotten by without a degree in HR or a certification, but would like to get some more education to continue to advance my career.

I have a non-university related networking event with VCs, startup founders, and that sort of genre of tech people at a social club. I am a male and normally wear more colorful stylish clothing, but I know I’ll have to tone that down for the event. Any advice on what to wear? I was thinking of a simple flannel and jeans, and having a 2-day stubble.

Disgusted that the former partner of commonground will be speaking at an ad age event. What’s he going to say? Fire everyone over email, change your agency name and pretend like it never happened...

At the 6 month mark of being jobless and not seeing a ton of openings with roles for my level or experience. Not sure what to do at this point anyone ever been here before-- do I succumb to doc review? Take a huge paycut to work with a solo (over 40k) or just keep looking....

If your company offers an annual bonus, is it based on performance, or is it fixed? What % of your base salary is it?
Mine recently went from the former to the latter company-wide, which seems bonkers.

Does anyone think covid 19 could penetrate a static warp shell?

Hello fishies. Can you share goals you are setting as PA/EA? Yearly or for a quarter.

We bought a condo in Jan this year. Neither the seller nor the management company disclosed an ongoing project to reinforce balconies (approx. 30k cost to us). The management company explicitally stated no special assessments were underway or proposed during our due diligence. Anyone else have a similar issue? Did you end up suing the sellers? Any tips? Lawyers you have engaged?

Does anyone here hold a non-CFA designation (CFP, CAIA, FRM etc.) and what kind of role/position do you have?

Do you think being disagreeable benefits you in your career?

Hello All,
I need 11 likes to unblock DM.
Thanks.

Fiancé wanted a destination wedding in Hawaii only inviting his parents, siblings and my parents. But I dislike his mom, his sisters(all mean and disrespectful to me the entire time), his brother never even talked to me in 3 years we been together. We are paying for ourselves, maybe my parents will contribute, but definitely not his. One sister needs us to pay for her expenses. So I do not want to spend a penny for them especially that far. How do I pivot this without telling him all that?

A very senior person in my company who’s married working in a city away from his family invited me to his apt and offered to cook dinner for me. Am I overthinking or does he have certain intentions?

Feeling like we should be spreading more love in days like these - I know we complain about our jobs a ton and it’s easy to do that but I think we should all be proud of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve learned and grown no matter how shitty some days or some coworkers or some clients are ♥️ working in PA helped me gain confidence, courage, and be more resilient. Gives me hope that when I finally get out of it, I’ll be a stronger person overall

My feel so defeated for trying to make my relationship work . We are both seeking therapist separately but it doesn’t seem to be working since he’s still hiding secrets. 🤕

Anyone else cry after men make aggressive inappropriate advances towards you? I can fiercely handle the conversation in the moment, set boundaries, and chew them a new one, but after the dust settles I always end up breaking down and I’m not quite sure how to explain the phenomenon.

I’m looking to get my business off of the ground and I’m needing some assistance. Can anyone recommend a tax software? Or is there another way that I can go about filing tax returns for clients? Thank you so much for your help.

I feel like I should know the answer to this but I do not: what kind of receipt do I need for my Dependent Care Account it my daughter (8 years old) is being babysat by a neighbour. It’s just that I usually submit the invoices from summer camp and the after school program. Both of these were cancelled this year. I just pay someone cash to stay with her and don’t get an invoice or anything...

I need some advice. 2nd marriage and I make 3x what my husband makes. We have a prenup but did combine finances but are now having money issues. I have issues that he’s planning to continue to provide child support past his daughter’s high school graduation, I contribute significantly into my step children’s 529s but he wants to take loans to pay the rest (bc he didn’t save before he met me), and other similar things. I know money was historically a stressor for him and thus wanted to cont.

When is it seasonally appropriate to start wearing cashmere in the New York area? I’ve always seen cashmere as reserved for winter but I’m dying to wear this new sweater right now and it HAS been cold

Ladies. What are your thoughts on Joe Rogan? My partner watches every single podcast and acts like he is some god. He thinks, breaths, and acts like everything that Joe Rogan or his podcast guests says is factual and believes in it. Every time we get into an argument he makes some statement about the topic and his source is Joe Rogan. It drives me insane.
