Men’s jeans recs? My pre-COVID jeans no longer fit omg 💀

Has anyone been to the UK lately from the US? What are the Covid requirements / restrictions? Thank you!

I’m on the high side of the BMI scale and really want to prioritize healthy movement. Not ready to formally go back to the gym or do fitness group classes inside (both from a covid mentality and feeling uncomfortable due to size). Started walking more and incorporating some cardio videos, thinking of getting a machine for my apartment (bike, elliptical, etc.)…any recommendations of best machine to incorporate or additional fitness ideas?

COVID policy for interns. How are you handling? Paid time off? Case-by-case? Are you sharing a specific policy (yes, I know it differs state-to-state)?

Anyone have with recent experience interviewing/hiring with FP? Most of what I found online is from pre-covid but it sounds like things might have changed a bit.

So all the anti-covid folks are pretty quiet now that we have seen a steep incline of cases in states that reopened early (Florida, Texas, Georgia) 🤔

I left a IB role ~ a month prior to coronavirus having had something else (PE) lined up. Lo and behold, COVID paused hiring, and it has been extremely difficult to justify being unemployed this long (since Feb). Any advice?

How to broach taking time during the day for Ramadan for myself as a junior consultant - on a COVID related engagement so I’m reluctant if it’ll be received well...
Also how much time is okay to ask for?

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

Has anyone made the transition from law to public accounting or tax in industry? Are you happier? I’ve been thinking about making such a move since there seems to be more remote opportunities in accounting. Advice or talk me off the ledge?

How was work from home in Deloitte before COVID?

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Any news from anyone, especially during covid?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

I should have posted in this bowl... but Coronavirus is forcing me to freelance for the first time in 2 years. I have 5-6 years UX experience, is 40 hourly a reasonable rate? Should I negotiate...

Recently been reinfected with covid Seems to be rare just wondering if others are retesting positive....I was positive in April went into lungs had it bad...this run seems to be much milder thank goodness Gi upset and lost of taste.

What would be the CTC for technical lead role?
They are giving 15 percent variable as well.

Will I get 100 percent variable on quarterly basis or not?
What's you experience with Infy?

Does anyone use Acorns or something like that for investing? Thoughts?

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

Hi everyone! The bowl name has changed to reflect the fact that it is no longer restricted to just Consulting professionals on Fishbowl. Feel free to invite others from different industries!

Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?

Tax - can I remain on the manager level permanently? Do they start to give below rating year on year since you are an experienced manager now and it was expected out of you so measuring against new managers/peers would be difficult?

How much annual hike PwC India gives to their employees on an average basis?

Best part time certification for data analytics so I can get out of tax? I need something that is recognized so I can get a job...

Hi Has anyone made the switch from a bank to BIG 4. I currently work in Market risk and have few offers from Consulting firms.
What should be considered while deciding ?

Partners, need some career advice. I'm in a niche BU at a big 4 focusing on risk related to certain cutting edge innovations in my industry (intentionally being vague). I'm being heavily recruited by a competitor firm to jump. I have just over 6 YOE, looking to promote in a little over a year (which would still be early at my current firm). To clarify, I'm not looking to leave, but will never say never. Firm looking to poach talks big game RE comp (potential to double my high 100s salary). Cont.

Goodness. Why are sofas so expensive? I’m saving for one but looks like every company outdid each other on pricing not in a good way

Just to be 100% clear, this entire platform is anonymous, right?

Anyone have insight on prices for the Air Dior collection, excluding the shoes?

Does anyone else try flipping on stockx? I got into it unintentionally when WFH started with my first purchase of a pair of Nike reacts (I didn't like them enough to wear them). Haven't gone too crazy, but bought and sold 3 pairs since March and profited about $200 after tax and commissions. Am I just getting lucky or is it this easy to make a profit?

What your ultimate sneaker grail?

What is everyone wearing on video calls these days? Any recommendations for relaxed fit polos?

Ahhh another day another L, anyone hit on the OW 4’s this morning?

Best aj1 this year so far?

Had anyone flexed in streetwear for their consulting engagements? I occasionally wore my Yeezy Triple Black 350s with my suit to the office, then changed into dress shoes at the office 😂

What’s your favorite streetwear brand?

Personally a huge fan of Aime Leon Dore and Noah as of late for that more smart casual look

Any recs for a casual men’s shoe that’s pretty versatile to wear to work when dressing down or just to wear on a night out?

Sneaker releases you're looking forward to in July?

Jordan 6 quai 54 and jordan 4 off-white sail for me
