Does Platinum Corporate Amex worth the $550 fee in terms of points? Let's say I travel up to 50% of the year. And EY doesn't pay for the membership fee anymore, right?

Thoughts on the new Chase Freedom Flex?

Does it make sense to max out my 401k if I want to retire by 40-45?

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

What value do brand strategy consultancies like Siegel+Gale, Landor, Interbrand, etc bring to the table? Doesn't what ultimately get implemented by ad agencies primarily influence the brand strategy?

I desperately need help/guidance from someone, I tried going to some therapists but they just emphasize antidepressants.

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.

Good or bad time to head out on parental leave?

When you budget for your engagements, what percentage of staff time is your budgeted manager time? I have always heard manager time should be about 50% of staff time but now leadership is pushing back. I have found the 50% to reflect reality. Managers don't reperform the work but have to do a detailed review. Thoughts?

Hello

Can anyone refer me for associate/ consultant profile under technology consulting role? ( IT strategy/ M&A/ Digital transformation role)

On NP and LWD is 29th November.

Having offer from 2 big4 but want to get in bain badly !!

Those of you who have left consulting for Program/Project Management at tech companies (not Product), what do you think of the switch? Have heard anecdotally that work can be uninteresting and career progression suspect, but seems like a very chill, high paying exit. Does this differ greatly if it is technical PM? Would love to hear thoughts.

Anyone use Freedom Boat Club or another boat membership in Chicago? How much is it and any pros/cons?

Exit to Amazon London L6 with £95k TC (68 base, 10 bonus, and 19 shares, vesting 0-3-8-8). Is this a fair offer?
I was hoping for £100k TC.

Happy Lunar New Year, 🐠 family! 🎊🎉. It’s the year or the 🐶.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

Good or bad time to head out on parental leave?

Best consulting firms without the massive ego?

Was promised a decision on an industry job offer would be provided last week. How long do I wait to follow up with them? I’m inclined to do it soon.

I’ve had some early success in consulting, but I’m hitting a plateau, getting too old to continue. What advice do you have on whether I should persevere or quit?

Interesting day. Left early for the airport. Took Uber Black. The driver is nice but the car gave the fuel warning at the start. Sitting at a gas station now while he figures out how to pump gas.

Experiences telling a counselor or a partner that you’d like to transition to an internal role? I have a feeling it’s not something they’d want to hear so I’ve been avoiding it and looking outside EY

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

Any other Deloitte UK 🐠 on here? Seems mostly American.

Got invited to a second office interview for EY strategy. What should I expect in this round? Already had two phone screens and an in-person with 3 M/SM

Moving to a new place and have space for a desk and office chair. Best recs for both? Wayfair would be great since I have a friend who has a corporate discount but open to other options

Almost 4YOE at Big 4 TAS. Seen high turnovers this year. Thoughts on the following options: FPA vs. CorpDev vs. MM IB vs. MBA to BB/EB or MBB?

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
