I'm a senior associate at one of the classic "tech" firms (think Fenwick, WSGR, Cooley). I have pretty much never worn a suit since OCI. I'm trying to lateral now so I need a suit but after having 2 kids I'm 5'0" and 140 pounds. Any tips for where to get a decent suit that isn't too pricey? I don't want to invest TOO much since my weight fluctuates so much.

I’m about the same weight and height and get my suits from Ann Taylor. They’ve definitely gone down in quality in the last 5 years, but the petites usually fit me without alterations, they have like a 40% sale every month, and they generally look nice.

I got Anne Klein in law school and still wear those for formal occasions. They have a wide range of sizes including petite.

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

Offtopic: Which is the best health insurance (company) to buy for parents? Please suggest as per prior firsthand experience in claims, settlement, premium etc.

My parent has a star health policy for which the renewal premium is drastically increasing (almost by 50%) every year at age 51.
With such increase I do not think it will be viable for long term. So planning to switch/port.

Oh, hello team members!!

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.
