PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?

According to % of income. So if partner b makes $30k, total HHI is 130k, split everything by 77:23...
It doesn't need to be downright % split, as sometimes one can be willing to take on more expenses.
Thanks so much for the detailed advice!
Hey this was me! I was partner B for a significant time of the relationship. Made little money working service and being in school. I’m super grateful to my partner A for taking on more of the rent and paying for nice meals. Now I’m making comparable to partner A and we split things more evenly.
Definitely helps out if partner A pushes partner B to be more ambitious and a better version of themselves. It’s not easy for either partner though.
Good luck!
Thanks! It’s helpful to see the perspective from both sides!

Depends on how serious the relationship is and whether you have a family
Relationship is serious enough to be living together, but not married or engaged!

Surely partner A can do better

Partner A should break up
UT-Austin 1 should be single as long as they hold this opinion.
Agree with the percentage split Analytics Director 1 advocated, with some additional detail on not being a perfect split - there should be an agreed split for base expenses - e.g. PB will pay x amount towards mortgage, define the split for utilities, etc. Then you'll need to adjust based off things only one Partner wants. For example, I'm Partner A in my relationship. There are certain things I want that extend beyond necessities that my fiance thinks aren't worth it, e.g. cable/better internet. Because it's both something I want and she doesn't, and it's significant additional expense, instead of splitting as a proportion according to income, I pay everything over half of what she was paying for relatively basic internet before we lived together. Ultimately, you'll be best served by taking an evening or two and putting together a household budget and then deciding together what a fair contribution is for each of you. That way you don't feel like your partner is dead weight and your partner doesn't feel like they're getting squeezed to support your more lavish lifestyle. It's hands-down the most equitable way to do it. A simple 77/23 percent split probably won't do it if you're insisting that every time you eat out it's from Sophia Steak but your partner is on a Buff Joe's budget.
Side note, think about other ways the contribution distribution can be equitable besides straight money issues. For example, if your schedule involves insane hours, maybe your partner handles all the grocery shopping. Then, even though you're paying more, it works out because you don't have to put in the time to do some of those things. End of the day, you two need to have the conversations between yourselves and decide what's right for your relationship. My fiance and I never thought we would fall into traditional gender roles, but sometimes that works for us and we've struggled sometimes because we were fighting what works best for us in favor of the way we /thought/ things /ought/ to be. Try out some different arrangements, and don't be afraid to check in with each other every so often for the first few months and make adjustments if you need to. Good luck and don't treat anyone's advice as gospel that must be rigidly followed (including mine)!
Agreed. I'm partner A as well. I pay for all subscription services: internet, TV (I went for Netflix 4k, and I paid for a new LG OLED TV), YouTube family plan. No split there.
At the end of the day, you will give and take... that's love, isn't it?
