Hi Guys,

Do Amex provide relocation expenses ?

My firm’s immigration attorney filed G-28 (attorney form) incorrectly for my OPT STEM extension, and G-28 got rejected. Does it jeopardize the rest of my application? I am terribly worried

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

I know I'm a seasoned consultant because I know the locations of the best plugs in airports across the country. I can't decided if I'm proud or sad to possess such knowledge.

Monday Status Report: Flight upgraded to first ✅. Aforementioned flight delayed 1.5 hours ❌. Partner canceled 6pm meeting ✅. Hotel upgraded to a suite at the Ritz ✅✅. Not bad for a Monday, not bad....

Love the discussions on here especially w the perspective that anonymity gives us the opportunity to voice extreme positions and polarizing disagreements that may not have been said in normal settings

Has anyone had their expenses rejected? Ever get a nasty note from Controllers on "high expenses" that hit an internal code? Do they ever reject (assume it's already been submitted in DTE)?

Serious question: Sheraton cancelled my reservation and I was stranded for a night last night. Called CS and my useless ambassador and they cant help and “sorry”. How do I escalate this?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

When are mid-year reviews set to happen?

I've been biking to my home office everyday so I've been wearing gym clothes and bringing a change of clothes with me. When I get in the morning how long can I sit at my desk before going to change?

So apparently accenture is making people who are on the bench enroll into a mandatory customer service role even if you’re 100% utilized. Friend took 3 weeks of PTO and has been on the bench for a few days and he is being forced. Worst part? It’s Tues-Saturday.

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

What’s best practice for updating your LinkedIn? No client names, but can you list out your responsibilities by project? Can you summarize project scope, including cost savings ranges?

Technology consulting scatterplots....Go!

EY and Guidehouse federal fish, how does using PTO factor into your utilization score? Does it count against you like at Deloitte or do those hours get removed from the denominator before calculation?

If taking the subway to my home office isn't part of my normal commute, and the client I am on is outside the commute to my home office and requires it, am I entitled to expense my Metro Card?

Men, what brand/style do you wear for a light jacket? The type you might want to wear if it's high 40s/low 50s in the morning and you're going to the office

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.
