Previously worked in B4 consulting for 4 years after college, joining MBB soon as a Sr Consultant. Any advice or pitfalls to avoid?

Looking for advice on business trips. My boss kindly asked me if I want to go meet a client out of state along with business folks. It will be my first visit to a client. What do you think are the benefits of these trips? I’m fairly new in my career and in-house so would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

My Dad has over 28 years of experience in Managing accounts and Finance of various companies. He’s really struggled a lot to get where he is right now. His current company is facing financial difficulties- anyone who can refer him for any Finance and Accounting senior opportunities in Dubai - please help. Literally crying for help.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Could be a silly question — i am beginning to look for a new apartment in the city and ideally want to rent from private landlords rather than going thru Apartment People / @ Properties / Compass, etc. How do you find private landlords?!

Any CA in the community who can help me with tricks of saving tax?

I have 2.5 years of experience as a BI consultant primarily working with SQL and Power BI. I feel a little underpaid while currently making $75k. All of my performance reviews have been positive and I have been the lead/only BI developer on two of our largest and most public projects this year. Any thoughts on what I could ask for at end of year reviews for a salary increase?

Can’t share outside of immediately fam bc it’s still “firm confidential,” but I heard I am getting promoted to partner year-end. Always told myself I’ll get a rari if I make it (wife supported it all the time).

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.

Been in consulting, three years post MBA. At a point where I honestly feel like what we do doesn't matter. We don't actually make anything and reuse solutions. Anyone have similar thoughts? (Cont.)
