I’ve been reading a lot of FIRE books lately and want somewhere to discuss. What are the biggest takeaways from your FIRE journey/ research?

Is there a way to work part time or close to 40 hours a week average with big 4 in advisory? I don’t really care how much I get paid and just want some WLB and health insurance lol.

Current 8.85 as Security Consultant
Accenture 15.82 (13.3 fixed+2.5 variable)
Aujas 16 all fixed
HCL expecting 16/17
EY expecting 17
YOE 5 (relevant 4.2) Security Consultant

Which one to choose for wlb and career growth?
Is earning potential good at 17?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries. Now he wishes to come back to India and wants to join some company here. But seems like similar opportunities are very less, say close to 3-4%. What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership.

What value do brand strategy consultancies like Siegel+Gale, Landor, Interbrand, etc bring to the table? Doesn't what ultimately get implemented by ad agencies primarily influence the brand strategy?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Gals, which would you prefer - oval 1.5 ct H ($8800), or oval 1.2 ct G ($5700)? Both brilliant, SI2. I could do the 1.5ct G but raises to 9900, and not sure it’s worth it.

Can anyone recommend me insightful books which can help consulting/career but not with titles like “how to be a successful manager” etc.

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.
