Thanks

Hi! Anyone attend law school part-time while working full time? If so, would you be willing to share the total debt you graduated with? I only ask because I have not been able to find any info related to this online (only stats on full-time students).

I will be submitting applications to schools in one month, but really want to gain a better understanding of finances during and after graduating from law school.

Does anyone here have a Tesla? Should I do it???...

Newbie trying to get a better understanding: is it better to max the 401K or just hit company 401K match and max Roth IRA first?

What is the *prime* amount of money to bring you happiness?

If I max out my traditional 401k and have a mortgage interest deduction to against my w-2 taxes does it mean I can pay way less taxes than a average person who makes same amount salary as me?

Thinking about using my VA loan in a few years. Any advice?

Roth vs Traditional 401k, thoughts?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

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!!

Anyone have any learning resources they recommend about CDFI’s and impact investing more broadly?

How long does it take to get ofc Laptop after DOJ?

Anyone know of any agencies focused on cause marketing / social good in NYC? Feeling the need to use my powers for good but have too much student loan debt to go back to nonprofits.

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

My monthly salary is around $6.4k after-tax. Living in NYC. Do you think it’s reasonable that I pay:
- about $1.5k on rent
- about $500 on utilities and subscriptions
- about $900 on student loan
- about $2k on food and etc.
My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.

What rates are people getting for condos? I’m thinking about selling my condo (I had 3.25%) but my realtor said that the rates are so high now that if I were to buy a similarly priced place, the monthly payment would be like $800 more. I’m bad at math, so I wanted to ask here to confirm this is accurate. Mortgage is around $700k

What are the best consulting firms to have a clear path to exit into big tech?

Currently working with a LS consulting firm who is looking for talent at the AP level. Position is client services oriented so having a BD foundation in pharma, biotech and/or med device is ideal. Position is remote but prefer east coast since they are a global firm. DM if you are interested to chat live.

Looking to pivot into healthcare consulting. I come from a MHA background with a two year Administrative Fellowship following it. Any experience breaking into one of the top consulting firms with this type of background?

If someone is working at 25 LPA in India, how much he should ask for if get an opportunity from Dubai to live a better standard life and make some savings also.

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

Would you say being a partner is more demanding than being an industry exec?

Partners, is it okay to send a deliverable without your review?

How to switch from Accenture technology to Accenture strategy?

Asked my manager whether the company sponsor for Product Owner certifications and he asked me to build/ create a case and share with him so that we can check with the higher management.

Any ideas/ guidance on how to go about it? Are there are templates for this?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Man PwC PEVC is poaching KPMG Strategy folks like crazy! Recruiters are swarming the DMs out here. Does this mean that the good natured roasting that KPMG Strat gets is just for jokes and in actuality we’re actually well respected professionals? I’m actually very impressed with the practice and everyone I’ve worked with and I feel as though clients really gravitate towards us as well given the positive numbers this year. Jw what our true reputation is out here on the streets is all

Has anyone done an M&A case study for a Corp Dev position? My interviewer told me it’s going to be a 5hr case study and I am a bit scared...Anyone knows what to expect in these?

Any insight into TCS M&A group? They reached out offering $200k for an M&A specialist role and would be a significant jump from my current salary. Unsure what they do in M&A space since they focus largely on delivery vs strategy

Is Assistant Director at EYP same as Senior Manager at Accenture?

Anyone have any insight to what it is like working at M Klein Investment Boutique? Any insight, I know it’s banking so I am not unrealistic, but any honest feedback or things to be careful of would be awesome.

General practice or specialized center of excellence (CoE)? KPMG Strategy has certain CoEs, one of which I am part of. The TMT general practice hints at wanting to bring me over. What are the pros associated with becoming more of a “generalist”? I’m current in the technology CoE. M level

AM here with corporate finance (M&a) experience just moved to the US to marry my American fiancé but having a really hard time landing a job right now. Job apps that match my background and requirements almost always gets rejected immediately. What should I do?

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

Does experience in financial due diligence with Big4 ensure good future opportunities ? Also how good is it for an MBA finance considering the majority of crowd I have found being CA on LinkedIn..

TIA

Do industry professionals involved in M&A sign to close and integration work long hours too or do they peace out at 6

Want to get thoughts culturally on A&M vs EY in general - as I’m looking at different practices (OTS, PE) but also anyone who has done work in different practices

Does anyone have recommendations for thought leaders/influencers in the M&A space? Looking for blogs, books, YouTube videos? Not currently in the space, trying to learn more as I’m thinking about a pivot after a few years in consulting/startups

Good book recommendations on the basics behind M&A deals and the DD process? Asking for a friend who is looking to start a search fund and has operational experience but no finance.
