No. You don't know what their personal situation is. Unemployment helped me afford groceries when I was taking care of my mom dying of cancer. Unemployment eventually runs out and isn't that much anyways.

The government takes better than half of what I make between fed, state, local and consumption taxes. It wastes a lot of it. I would rather see a friend get something out of what I pay then it get anaonomously wasted.

Your friend likely paid into it as well.

I read your analysis and I think that you need to mind your own business. "Applying for other jobs." We all know that networking is how you get jobs and not applying to things on indeed.com. Getting money from family- yeah, bc it is like $300/month. Also, he paid into it. It will run out eventually. Get a life and if you are so concerned about entitlement fraud, focus on the cases of people who are really taking advantage of the system.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.
