How long after starting at a new firm do you start to worry that you are not getting staffed? I’m at the type of firm where a partner decides staffing; it’s not through networking

Depends on the size of your firm.... but probably 1 month to 3 months. If you are not staffed on the very first engagement after joining... it’s not on you really. If you made a mistake at an engagement and not getting staffed, thats a whole another story.

I’ve only been supporting on an engagement, but not billable

Which firm?

Hey, if they hired you based on proposed work being won then its not your problem.

Has anyone recently obtained a VA mortgage loan that exceeds their county jumbo loan limit? I contacted VA to understand my remaining entitlement and was told that even if I sold my current home I couldn’t exceed the county limit in my next purchase. I know he’s wrong because it clearly states on the VA site that if you have full entitlement there is no loan limit.

If remote becomes the default in consulting, as seems likely, how long until a 4-day work week?

I think it’s pretty likely within the next 5 years. It doesn’t mean work wouldn’t happen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but it would help set a cultural norm.

Pre-COVID there was always a different feel between M-Th at the client site and F-Su elsewhere; this would help replicate that.
