Said I'd never lease a car but now thinking I'd lease if it were a luxury vehicle (1-2 years & switch before its old). Does that seem reasonable? Anyone have experience w/ leases? Tips on negotiating?

Hi Fishes,
Anyone having opportunity related to Loss Prevention Domain having 4+ Years of Experience. Looking for change

Thoughts on getting fed government jobs? I'm a first year associate in a specialized transaction group in DC and I fucking hate it. I had an internship at a federal department in school but after that went 2L SA/firm. Any hope of finding something? Right now my plan is to just start spamming USAjobs and hope something eventually sticks.

Can someone recommend some marketing and design blogs? I am working on a project and my creative juices just aren't flowing.

What’s a fair calculator to know your affordable mortgage?

One online have a wide range in what’s considered “affordable”
Pre bonus and equity I earn 110k/yr in Wash DC.
I’ve seen 33% net income, but honestly $1650/mo CANT even get a 500sqft condo on rent.
30% gross is $2750/mo 😱
Others say I can afford 600k houses but that seems irresponsible and ridiculous.
My current rent is $1750 for a small 1bd1ba (cheap) but I’m sacrificing my safety in my neighborhood. No frills apt.

Hi Fishers,

MY friend received and offer letter from Bosch, and it has 10% variable, how much of variable normally people get in Bosch after joining and is that annually or quarterly?

First year (ug level hire) and got email from apple recruiter. Would love to exit to FAANG but not sure I'm ready to leave BCG in my first year but maybe after 2-4. What is best practice?

Anyone in SoCal?

Anyone have any idea what a senior strategy consultant at HSBC pays? I’ve had a browse through glassdoor but would be good if there’s someone that has received an offer etc to give a more accurate idea. TIA

After my RL meeting I knew it was time to go back to grinding Leetcode even harder

I make $4000/M after taxes and max 401K and spend about $2400 for all fixed costs (rent, utilities, etc). With roughly $1600 left, and with a strong goal of saving as much as I can, what are some recommendations on how I should allocate my money better. I know this is vague but need some better financial planning.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

ATL now too big to fail?

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

Who has the deck?!?!? 😞😩 Huge meeting at noon and no one has the deck.

Mulling over an offer. Is work at MBB way more work / significantly more intense than Big 4? I feel like I have a good brand/rep at EY; not sure if effort to rebuild all of that at MBB is worth it?

20k in savings. Should I invest in a safe, decent dividend paying stock or to invest in a long term value stock like Apple (more risky)

Salary expectations for Big 4 strong performing Senior 1/2:
1) Exiting Big 4 to bank
2) Switching from Big 4 to Big 4
3) Exiting Big 4 to Strategy House (non-MBB)
4) Exiting Big 4 to MBB

Thoughts?

Beyoncé is in Cleveland?! Okay, maybe Cleveland is salvageable now.

Anyone in D.C. with kids-- I'm looking to buy a house and wondered if anyone had thoughts on Peabody/Watkins elementary?

Are there any delta promotions going on right now?

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.

Woke up to bug bite at a Sheraton on my Birthday.. #GreatStart🙄😪

Anyone have stats on Cohn Reznick CFO advisory comp for M or SM?

You know it's a slow week when the highlight is when your comment to a fishbowl post gets more upvotes than the initial post

I get nightmares about printing on clients sites.... ::shivers::

Anyone from the Milan office of McKinsey that can share their experience in this particular region? Also interested in how does it compare to BCG in terms of environment, pressure and benefits.

So should we apply now for the chase sapphire reserve even though the 100k bonus isn't listed anywhere? Or wait until it's actually in print?
