I was laid off in 2014, two weeks to the day before Christmas from an industry job. I called and told my parents then I enjoyed the holidays for the first time since college. Eight weeks nearly to the day after getting laid off I started with the firm and celebrated a hefty pay raise.

Thoughts on joining a boutique consulting firm during this economy? Is it typically viewed as safer or riskier than bigger firms? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

Hello, I am a TVC had a recruiter reach out to me a few months back and I wasn’t able to move on with the interview process because of the contract and was told to reach out when my contract was over.

Would it be okay to reach out to him on the internal Google chat?
