Sometimes I am relieved when I get off Twitter or 🐠 Bowl and talk to family and friends who voted for Trump b/c they say they know Biden won. Every single one. I only see the fringe on social media. But with each passing day I wonder if they will get sucked in...

Most of my family is conservative and votes R. Most recognize that Biden won. Have an aunt that is deep down the QAnon whole though....too far gone.

Republican who voted third party here. Have definitely ‘moved on’ - tbh, was quite relieved to see everyone happy and celebrating this weekend. It was certainly refreshing.

I’m thrilled with the outcome. As a republican who is embarrassed by trump, I think the best scenario played out on Tuesday with the senate staying red and Dems losing seats in the house. McConnell won’t let Biden and the Dems get anything substantial through congress so regulation rollbacks and tax cuts will largely stay in place. Biden might get one Supreme Court pick, but it would have to be a moderate to be confirmed. Republicans have a shot at retaking the house in 2 years and will have four years to get a decent candidate to run agains either Biden, or more likely Kamala who was not popular candidate on her own. Of course the Republicans also have every opportunity to blow it in four years by nominating another clown show.

I’m not sure what DOJ legal challenges you’re referring to. With respect to the Republican senators I think they’re doing the smart thing and staying quiet and calling for an orderly count and transition. They’re not gonna speak up and tell the president to concede and piss off his base - after all trump is within his right to ask for a recount. But no one’s going out of their way to say Trump got screwed in the election

I voted 3rd party and consider myself independent but I lean more to the republican side. Honestly just want a John McCain republican to run in 2024. Not a crazy person

Yes, and glad he’s going to be gone soon. Last four years have been tough - R’s who think like I do felt like the children of an abusive parent. Hopefully now we can try and find some common ground (there’s a lot) that we weren’t able to see before thanks to him.

Yes, but only because China is becoming the world power now officially and Americans are too caught up in hating Trump to see that we are falling behind, so I'll wait and watch to see if the world crumbles.

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
