Not talking about you pwc 5. That’s totally possible on joint income at the manager level. I am talking about the associates.
Someone is helping them financially somewhere for them to get to them numbers that soon out of college on a 50-80k salary.

There is definitely more to life than money, but I think it's fair to say most people in PA seek financial security.

Hang in there everyone. If you pursue and achieve a successful career in PA, you will have enough cash flow and savings that you won't have to count it. You will pay cash for your kids college education and you will retire without financial worry. It's incredibly comforting.

Depending on saving, investing and spending patterns, a partner can retire with accounts between $5 and $12 million plus their home. Yes, some may be less and some may be more, but based on my experience and those I am close with, these numbers are very reasonable. (Don't get divorced and don't overspend and you'll hit the top end of the range easily.)

Ok cynics, start disagreeing 😉

A3 <5k checking ~15k 401k in NYC.. Really appreciate the fact that people focus so much on saving right after college but I can’t imagine working so hard to not spend money on things I want and people I love at this age. Older you get the harder it is to do the things you want

I have a question for recruiters regarding background checks. If we are working 2 jobs what does that look like in the background check or in the credit check they do? Is it something that shows up on there? Or does only one job show up? I believe our income and company shows up on our credit reports as well since lenders see that when we apply for like a mortgage but if it only shows one employer name does it combine both income numbers on there as well? Does being a contractor hide this?

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️
