What practice? I met people in Risk Advisory from Buffalo at a training. They liked it a lot, but be prepared to be on the bench a lot or sent to NYC/Boston to help engagements there.

BUF, ROC, and SYR are all small offices and they have their own network of people in UNY. I m a NYC resource (Risk Assurance) and worked heavily with PPED out of UNY. They are generally more laid back than say NYC, better work life balance. Flip side is your visibility is limited unless you are on high profile clients. Expect to travel a little depending on your rank.

I have a friend at EY Buff and I interviewed back in the day. Buffalo in general has better hours than NYC (not sure if you’re coming from there?). I worked in a diff B4 in Buffalo - the office was tiny (40 people?) and the industry upstate is mainly manufacturing. If you’re considering other firms try Freed Maxic- from what I remember their size is actually larger than the B4 offices in buffalo but I may be wrong

The low COL helps, the CF is better, they do more fun activities. The office environment feels more familial. But the need is low so expect the process to take longer.

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate.

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
