I’m a senior manager. Have a habit of keeping an eye on emails while out of office. If you see a client email, do you respond or not?

Looking for a second car (we’re leaving NY for a lower cost of living). We already have alate model Q5. Budget is <= 35k. Prefer used/CPO. Kind of all over the place - considering ram 1500 crew cab, M240i, Volvo S60 T5. I love cars but haven’t been able to have one in ~5 years and now I want everything all at once. Open to any and all suggestions.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Anyone know when Ch. 7 BKs must close by? Is this changed by when there are adversary proceedings (alleged fraudulent transfers made to a bank for CC payments)? Asking for my friend who is unfortunately involved bc of his parents, who are the debtors (he isn’t a defendant or a debtor in this, but the payments were made to a CC in his name—a CC he didnt know was opened in his name).

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

What if Pakistan and India unite and form one single country ? Imagine the possibilities for our own people. Our cultures are more similar than our differences. After all we (both countries) are children of the same mother who just lived in separate houses (read partition) for 70+ years. All the money spent on military could be used for education , food and scientific development . Together we can be world’s superpower. What’s your take

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

I just had a first round interview with BCG, I did ok in one of the interview and did great in the other one. What are my chances of moving to the next round? More info: Based in Canada, there are two 45 mins interview for first round.

What are firm’s known billable requirements? Is there a ramp up period?

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Levels at OW: how long does it take to move from EM to Principal Consultant?

I was offered a contractor role (~20 hours a week) at 90/hour. This is extremely attractive because it’ll double my income (and the tax deductions from 1099 are solid). With that being said, I also want to see what kind of conflicts I can see given that I’m at a B4 firm.

I get the whole “you can’t have a second job” thing and don’t care but I’m actually worried about causing major conflict of interest.

So I’ve been studying for the AWS cloud practitioner certification for a month now and completed all cloud quest levels but still not feeling 100% confident. Has anyone tried the exam question dumps ? There are so many websites but not sure which one is the most reliable one as all of them you would have to purchase such as pass-guaranteed, certwizard, etc.. any recommendations is greatly appreciated

What is the definition of a “staff aug” project? I think I’m on one but wanted to confirm…

Who on this bowl feels an obligation to support their parents if they retire early and run out of money? This is causing some strife with my SO. My parents have planned very well and would never dream of putting me in a position to financially support them. My SOs parents retired early, and we are worried they won’t have enough of end of life care is necessary (which is almost inevitable). continued…

How should my wife figure out what to do next in her career? Been in an ops role at a prestigious hedge fund for 10 yrs, is very highly regarded but doesn’t know how to think about broader applicability of skillset. Needs help narrowing down what she wants to do that she’d be good at. Anyone had luck with career coaches, or have other advice? Thanks in advance!

I think it’s naive to not ask this question and it has been asked but not with the data points we now have. JP Morgan expects -40% GDP and 25m jobless (15% unemployment). Only 60k deaths now...

Random question: anyone have any water damage horror stories? Washing machine on the 3rd floor didn’t drain and overflowed for 10 mins - slight damage to the third floor floors, second floor ceiling and floors. It does not look that bad but who knows with water issues. This is going to be rental soon. I’m being quoted 20k+ to dry and fix it which seems excessive even though home insurance will cover it. Ignore and pray it away or get it fixed lol?
