I received I485 transfer notice from USCIS via post . "In order to speed up processing....we transferred your case to...: National Benefits Center, MO". What does this mean. Is this good/bad?

Good!

10 months to get this letter.

Still not sure what this means though

10 months...that's pretty fast. Which EB category was it filed under?
You will hear back from soon for additional documents if needed or an interview date for your adjudication of status.

EB1C

I recently got a similar notice. Did you already have EAD card? I heard they process EAD / AP etc. at the national benefits center.

Yes, got EAD ~7 months ago

I was talking with my director the other day about how I think the US should be implementing longer maternity leave policies and generally better parental leave policies for parents who have given birth/had a partner give birth/adopted a child, and she said it was "a crackpot idea meant to push socialist agendas." Where do I even start...The countries with better parental leave policies are MILES ahead of us.

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Not a homeowner - but looking to buy in 2-3 years. I feel like I'm saving well, but could save more pre-tax with my 401k.

Can I reasonably access 401k funds to buy a house, or should I keep just putting 10% to 401k and investing post tax money to save up a down payment?

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes.

I was a long time 5th grade teacher, so not a difficult adjustment, except for learning new to me digital curriculum.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Wondering what other STEM teachers are doing online?

First 8 weeks as an Associate after jumping from Big4:

Pros - super smart/driven colleagues, more unique/interesting work, more ownership, benefits are awesome, traveling frequently, more technical work, more frequent feedback

Cons - hours are worse, much faster timelines, having to learn the BCG way quickly, much higher expectations, less ability to choose cases

Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!
