I’m debating if I should keep pushing or pause my hunt until the New Year. On one hand, I’ve heard "holiday hiring" is a myth, and HR is checked out. On the other hand, maybe there’s less competition right now. I don’t want to burn myself out if every application is just going to sit in an unread inbox until Jan 5th. Has anyone had luck landing interviews during the last two weeks of December?

That's what I've been thinking. Less competition and fewer applicants could mean that teams that are urgently hiring may be even more responsive if they aren't inundated with so many applications. I think it just depends on how much you need the holiday break. I'd give yourself a short period of solid rest, but maybe try to keep applying 50% of the week.

It doesn't matter if things sit in someone's inbox until January. You might as well get applications in while you can. Some may stop taking applications when they reach a certain number, so by dawdling you put yourself at a disadvantage. In this job market you need to every possible edge, so it makes more sense to get the applications in promptly.

My company was bought by a larger clinic who agreed to hire all the employees from the previous job. Everyone transition October 1, but I stayed behind to help close the books and the end of the year. On December 15, two people from the company that bought our doctors office said they did not have a position for me to fit into. After they have already hired me after they had already told me what my position would be.

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.
