Putting the legal line on screen at the emotional crux of the Apple holiday spot? 😘

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

I’m full time at an agency but have lots of unused vacation. Is it okay to freelance at another agency for a week or two?

Living in a ~700 unit rental building with 50+ staff - any suggested holiday tipping? Staff at the building come and go all the time (we just got a whole new wave of doormen in November)

Vacation ideas for Thanksgiving? Six of us (ages 25 to 60) and everyone’s vaccinated. Thought about going to the Caribbean but I guess it’s the wet/hurricane season at that time. We’d be traveling from LA and Chicago and it’s only for a week if that helps. Any places you’ve enjoyed during late November?

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

I told myself I would not be that person who quits during busy season but I am reaching my limit with PA. My mental health has been in shambles for years and I have found the years passing by with me doing nothing but work. I am anxious all the time even when on PTO, and I'm so close to just quitting with nothing lined up to take a mental break. Just wanted to rant.

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

Does anyone have feedback on working for Mercer Advisors? I see a few positions in the Rockwall/ Dallas area that intrigue me. I’ve read Glassdoor reviews- was looking for more in-depth info.
I have my SIE, Series 6 and Series 63.
What is the work culture like, PTO, management style? Thanks!

Anyone have a corporate rate code for holiday inn?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Hi, I work under contract for a foreign company as an APM. I have an import export licence and send the monthly invoice to my HR. My benefits include the following in-hand allowances: food, internet, sports, vacation, training and hardware. Plus a yearly bonus.
Can someone help me out as this is new to me, how can I save my taxes? (I have to file ITR 4)

Holiday office party coming up tomorrow and I still haven't bought a gift... ugh. Any suggestions? I never know what to bring.

I’m looking for a referral please. I have 3 years of audit and 1.5 years of FDD experience all at PwC

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?

Hii fishes, i am starting to interview at jpm, can anyone guide me on the process and what should be my salary expectations be for Software Engineer python, yoe 1.5+ at mumbai

Hey guys need 11likes to get DM started, help would be appreciated thanks.

Hey guys,
Currently I’m working as an Associate Data Scientist and I’m very fond of creating charts and visualisations for my output/presentations. I’ve recently started learning PowerBI and would really want to know some informative pages, channels or any other sources where I can get my complete hands on to this tool.

Thanks in advance.

I feel like I have adult ADHD but I don't know how to get it tested to be sure and then get help.

I have 26 students this year and I’d love to match with a class to have pen pals!!! Please send me a message if interested! We are in NJ !

Hi Fishes,
May I know when is return to office for Bosch employees?
I am about to join next week. And not planning to go office for next 2 months.

How's the GE (general electric) account in techm in terms of wob and onsite opportunity

I can do the math on SWR’s, but always happy to have the input of this forum, be it positive, constructive, or a really unique perspective. I’ve been lurking on a FIRE journey for a while, and here is where I am:
2.3M in retirement assets (30% have been taxed)
8k a month in expected expenses…continued in comments

Whats the process of enrolling in this? Anyone did it recently?

How bad is reneging a week before I start? Have an offer with FAANG but the role is sales. Got a dream job with Disney in Analytics & Strategy with comparable salary. Should I stick with FAANG?

Better manager & culture & benefits at FAANG, better role & opp at Disney

Hi fishes,

I have offer for Genpact, NTT Data HCL
All of them offering almost similar compensation.

1) Which is best among these??
2) hw to negotiate on compensation with best one..as all of them having nearly similar package.

Thanks in advance

I have mostly passive investments. I was thinking the other day: what if everyone had only passive investments? Wouldn’t this create incredibly high amount of systemic risk? Are we all sheep??

Ibegin is not accessible …seems the site is in maintenance, any one facing issue right now ?

There was interest on another thread to get folks in Dallas networking and connected post COVID. I setup a WhatsApp group if you’re interested in connecting. See thread

What is the Mortgage underwriting Salary for 4 YOE (Post Underwriting)

Is there point in applying to roles without referral? I’ve a strong background but hearing nothing on applications and don’t want to waste a shot by direct application into the void and having to wait to reapply

I just started a new job and am about to be 36. I want to start a family but I feel like I should be waiting due to this new job. However I don’t want to miss out. I’m thinking about freezing my eggs

Advertising has ruined my life. I can’t even ask a friend about getting drugs without sounding like a tool - “Following up in regard to gram and point pricing for our visit”

I’m so tired of hearings “we want to keep the meeting small”. That’s fine if you don’t want to include me but when you promise the client something that you didn’t clear by production..

Pepsi removes the ad... so who is it a win for?

Who is the main contact for Ogilvy recruiting?

I just offered an intern a full time position as an account coordinator with a starting salary of $50k. They have only been an intern for 2 months and have no prior experience. They acted like $50k was a huge slap in the face. Am I crazy for thinking $50k is reasonable for entry level in Toronto? I am not authorized to negotiate so they will have to take it up with HR, but I am still just shocked at the reaction. Please tell me if I’m totally out of touch!

Worst boss? Let’s hear it

Burnetters are always last to know about Burnett news. 😑

About to put down 500 on drinks tonight. In that spirit, what's the most inappropriate thing you've ever expensed successfully?

💁🐠, I just discovered makeup beyond mascara at age 26. Any ride or die (drugstore budget) brands/products I should acquire? 💄💋🤙

Any ACD ADs want to apply with me to work on Little Caesars at McKinney in NC? I know it’s not a hot market but talk about hot pizza... they’re looking for teams but my partner wants to stay in NY

If I were to start talking/applying to other agencies in my network, would that news reach the HR department at my current agency and raise alarm bells? Just curious how that works.

How do you get through to a client who doesn't get the cultural references in your work because they're too old and frankly uncool without saying "hey you're old and uncool, I know better"??!

Do recruiters always try to lowball you with their first offer?

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

Venables Bell, thoughts? Worth considering?

What’s the best gift you bought/brought to a gift exchange this year? I’m short a couple presents. And feel free to shamelessly promote your own side gigs. It’s not like we’ll be able to tell.
