How important is it to have an HR department at your firm? Just talked with a friend the other day that said that everything benefits/HR related is done by the person’s manager. To me that seems insane, especially if there are issues. I know that they can be inefficient but to not have one seems to be a recipe for disaster. What are your thoughts?

HR is generally there to protect the company, not employees. It's definitely a little weird not to have anything at all, but I would say at most companies, managers do deal with most benefits / hr related things as the front line anyway.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
