What’s one financial metric that you believe investors and business owners should pay more attention to?

I’m collecting insights from professionals across the industry and would be interested in continuing the discussion through a short Zoom or Google Meet call with those who are open to networking and sharing perspectives.

Feel free to comment or DM.

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Are marketing agencies really required to have their employees come into the office? We all work using computers and sharing our files in the cloud, the only time we see each other is for meetings, which can absolutely be done through Zoom. How is your job handling this atm?

Hey! Are there any art directors willing to chat over zoom? I’m a recent grad and I need some advice about jump starting !

Has anyone had a client request zoom and virtual house showings?

Almost done with second weeks in industry. I absolutely LOVE IT! Ive been making a point to reach out to people from different teams via Slack and arrange a quick meet and greet zoom call. Been introducing myself mostly to the heads of each department, head of marketing, head of sales, head of product development. to get a better idea of what everyone does, and asked sales/product for walkthroughs of the products so that I know exactly what we offer as a company

Hey all, curious to know how you like the bowl. Anything you want to see more of? Anything you want to see that we don’t currently do (e.g. Zoom happy hours, live chats, etc)? Let me know!

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

Does Deloitte use Teams or Skype?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Thoughts on the Marcus Investment robo advisory rolled out by Goldman a few weeks ago? They charge low fees which is great, but I have a hard time seeing what makes it different than others.

Has anyone reevaluated their retirement methods after a life-altering experience? I used to invest a lot more ($5k or so a month), but after losing one of my parents last year (mid-50s), I’ve wondered if it’s better to just enjoy life as we are living it. So, I started investing a lot less. But I always see people on here talking about all of these retirement schemes (backdoor Roth, mega-backdoor Roth, etc.) and I’m wondering if there’s a happy middle ground somewhere.

New start coming out of undergrad - other than maxing out 401k contribution to 18.5k in the year, what other low hanging fruit should I get? (I.e. I’ve heard of a Roth ira but not sure what it is)

I currently have both of my retirement IRAs in SPY (Roth & Traditional). I rarely ever see anyone here invested in SPY, it's usually a vanguard fund like VOO, VTI, VXX etc. What's you're reasoning behind that, and alternatively if you're in SPY, why?
