Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

Hello everyone!
Can anyone please explain the promotion process followed here and specially at LCCI? If there's any minimum criteria like X no of years in a particular level, etc. followed while checking eligibility of an employee?
And also - what's the hike/increment range usually at the time of promotion?
Eli Lilly and Company.
Any leads would be highly helpful.
Thank you!

$130k / $21k / $35k / 8 years
I was making $60k in 2018 with $15k in credit card debt and less than $1k padding in checking. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you’re worth but when you get it, keep the same lifestyle to put away savings.
I paid off the debt bc I didn’t increase my lifestyle when my salary went up. I paid it off within 4 months of getting to the $105k salary. I had a car with no car payment and I kept my tiny apt with the low rent. I just threw everything else I made toward that. As far as salary, I was really underpaid with 7 years of experience in 2019. I got recruited by Amazon and turned it down - I told someone in leadership in a different dept about it and they told the lead of my dept they were going to lose me if my raise/promo didn’t come through. I got a raise from $60 to 80 and then 6 months later got recruited for another client side role, I asked $120 total comp (base $105), took that and then when I was laid off from that role in a COVID restructure I was approached for a contract role and I negotiated the equivalent of more than $130 a year. I don’t tell them my last salary and I highlight that my background is unique (I was an analyst for a bit and I’ve been client side twice) so that’s the salary I need. You have to pretend to be confident and act like you’re gonna walk. I’ve been too expensive a few times but that’s okay.
80k / 16k checking / 15k savings / 7 years of work (some not in ad).
Three years ago it was legitimately ~$1k mo / nearly zeroing out / zero savings. So I’m not where I want to be but so happy I’m not where I was anymore.
Well done! The first 30-50K is hardest. Keep at it.
57.5k salary / ~4k checking/savings / 8.5k retirement / 2 years
$90k/$15k/$60k/5 years
€41k, €13k in savings (plus pension accounts but I don’t know the figures off the top of my head - high tax/high social security benefits EU country, so I’m not overly concerned right now), 4 years in.
Focus right now is on buying a house and then I’ll look at building more of an investment portfolio after.
