Yes. It has a huge impact on the amount of money companies spend on management consulting.

Absolutely. Just look at these boards for the impact this line of work has on peoples mental health, work-life balance, level of cynicism, sense of self loathing...

It certainly has the potential to be, and I’ve absolutely seen it be impactful. Unfortunately it seems like we’re often more concerned about lining our own pockets than giving clients a message they don’t want to hear.

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?

Hello all,

I have 13 yrs of exp. and currently working as Senior Data Scientist. Now I got an offer from Bangalore with 40% hike which requires relocation and my current salary is 25LPA. Currently I am not ready for relocation with small kid and my husband is working in Hyderabad. Is it good idea to resign now and look for Hyderabad open positions in my notice period of 3 months? Or should I wait till I get something in Hyderabad? Is less notice period will help in getting more offers?
