I plan on putting in my two weeks to move from one B4 to another B4 next week. However, I know it’s likely that I will be told to stop working asap and still get paid for my two weeks. I am worried about health insurance. Hypothetically, if my last day at a firm is March 3rd, am I still covered by health insurance for all of March? I am not starting the new job until a couple weeks later.

Insurance is till month end

Go without, if you have an issue, you have 90 days to pick up COBRA.

But yes, insurance is through month end

It’s not likely. It’s possible, but actually quite rare. I’ve seen every level give notice to another B4 and have never once seen someone told to stop working. I have personally worked for two directors that worked a three month notice period, one from EY to Deloitte and one from Deloitte to EY.

CPA 1 has it. I’ve seen several managers and above leave for other B4 in the same market and still work out their notice periods. I once saw an associate try to ask to be benched before jumping ship to a competitor and the partner basically said no one below senior manager presents enough of a risk to the firm to justify potentially screwing up a project by benching and reassigning.

Your insurance shouldn’t be an issue. It’ll last until month end and you can get COBRA afterwards. If you join your new firm in March, you’ll probably be eligible for their insurance in April, so you might not even need COBRA.

As long as you work, the first day of the month you’re covered for the entire month

Insurance is until month end. Even if it is not you can still sign up for cobra retroactively and be under your formers employers policy but you would have to pay the monthly fees for those month(s).

As others said, if you’re employed on the 1st, you’re insured the entire month. I have been in this situation multiple times - B4 and MM firms.

Depends on company. Most give you to end of month of you have paid premiums from your checks. You can ask them to take all premiums out of final check to cover you till end of month

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
