Is it a good idea to invest in your UK pension fund over the max your employer will contribute/match? This may potentially lower income tax but then one can't really access the pension pot till retirement. Or is it better to invest post-tax income into a stocks and shares ISA to avoid capital gains tax? TIA!

SA1 to SA2 in PWC is a promotion or progression ?
If it's a progression will the resource get the progression by default after an year of joining ?

10 years after I joined Deloitte, and 8.5 years after my EB3 priority date - today my wife and I received our GCs. What a Diwali it is going to be tomorrow. Cheers!

BCG folks, I hear rumors of layoffs happening given the slow pipeline. Is it true?

Looking for non- fiction book recommendations. I just read Shoe Dog and loved it.

have any (females) dealt with imposter syndrome in a male dominated sport? i just started jiu jitsu at a really great academy but for some of the classes I’m the only girl and it’s a little intimidating. i feel like i don’t belong/deserve to be there. the guys are all super nice, so it’s nothing against them, i just get in my head a lot about it.

I’m a manager in PwC’s human capital practice. I’m getting recruiting messages from the other Big 4, as I imagine most of us are. I’m interested in hearing about human capital consultants who went from PwC to one of the other firms, as well as people who came from one of the other firms to PwC. Happily ever afters as welcome as horror stories here. Thanks!

Most South Asian names seem to be anglicized in the US. Since it seems inevitable, any new parents have experience with getting ahead of the curve & going with an anglicized version in birth cert?

What exit opportunities exist for international arbitration? I don’t want to litigate, and am a non-American so government jobs (which seem to be what my colleagues are exiting into) aren’t an option for me. I don’t ever see myself making partner (nor do I want to), and I feel totally stuck.

I’m starting an MBA program this week and can’t find a job in my field because I’m pivoting away from a musical arts career. Ideas?

I have cleared technical interview at @EXL and have also given another round of interview with VP.

Q1. How long does the VP round feedback take normally?
Q2. What are the next rounds/discussion to expect if I clear this round?
Q3. What is the level and salary that I should expect for a BI developer role at 6 years experience?

Anything else that I should keep in mind during the interview process that helps me land better role/salary? TIA.

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

Let’s all pray for those that lost their life this week serving our country. Pray for their families.

Take time this week to reflect on all the things we are Thankful for. Including our relationship with God.

What are you all doing for Thanksgiving? How f do o you like to spend in a normal year? Any different this year?

Any Southern Baptists in here? Or Possibly Reformed Baptists?

He is Risen!!!!

Hope you guys are getting recharged during (hopefully) your non-busy season! :)

The Country needs our prayers.

He is Risen!!!
