My COBRA medical in-network plan rate is $607 per month. Is this a good rate? Anyone has a recommended medical insurance for bridge period between to jobs that you believe is better than COBRA? Also appreciate if there is any specific advice or things to pay attention to regarding using COBRA, it’s my first time doing this.

Ohhh that’s absolutely good to know - thanks so much!!!

What’s cobra

Under COBRA act you can continue your insurance with employer at your own expense for 18 months after you left the firm

The 60 day retroactive limit for COBRA was temporarily suspended, so you can retroactively elect it up to 18 months later. So just be uninsured, and only elect if you incur large medical expenses.

That’s awesome!! Thanks so much!

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
