Is it typical for big 4 firms to take a while to reach out after one submits an app? For context, it’s been about a month or so and I have not heard anything, my status shows under review… all apps had referrals as well and they were for consultant and senior consultant roles. Any insight would be great, thanks! EY Accenture Deloitte

I’m GenZ and I’ve just accepted my fate of living with my parents till 50 while banging my GF in the same room I jerked off as a teenager.

If you shrink the entire issue down to just student loan debt that issue alone has crippled the millennial generation. Doesn’t even matter who’s fault it is. We have a full generation with average debt over $30k and no path to pay it off in reasonable time.

Just friendly Gen X passing by and glad to be left out.

I was raised a latchkey Gen X but with the technology of a millennial. I have the power of both generations running through my veins.
Those two can duke it out while I do my own thing.
My parents worked hard all their lives, I hope they blow it all making their retirement awesome.
Plus, I’ll laugh at my brother as I believe inheriting is his only retirement plan.

Not every millenial has well off parents
Pro
If your parents have money, sure, but mine certainly didn't.
People can live independently on a lot less money than one would think. I have a hard time believing that a full-time professional can’t afford to move out of mom and dad’s long-term. We can’t all afford to live the same lifestyle as our parents did, but we can live within our means.
This isn’t a generational question, it’s a wealth-divide question. I am a millennial and i certainly didn’t come from money. Indeed, proudest moment is me being able to buy my parents a house, in which they now live in.

Not quite a house but one of my proudest moments was paying for my parents to take a trip to Italy. They never would have traveled out of the country otherwise and it was my mother’s life long dream. Totally a wealth divide question!

While I’m not the spokesperson for all in my generation - X; I think it’s reasonable to say most of us in Gen X (we’re the smallest, current generation) find ourselves working and shaking our collective heads at both generations you mentioned - we’re paying for both.
My single mom is an immigrant who is almost close to retiring, and not only will I, as a millennial, not inherit anything from her, but I will have to support her because she only worked the lowest paying jobs in the US and only for 10 years. I am choosing to go childless because there is no way I will be able to afford having kids.
Also the reason why I will spend every penny when it’s my turn to retire.
I agree that the rivalry thing is stupid. It should be the 99% vs. the 1%, as the vast majority of boomers are not the ones holding all the wealth, but rather, a small portion.
The fact that my parents have enough to probably (barring disaster) cover their retirement expenses is great. But they're not the ones keeping us from prosperity. They just have savings from wages and the growth in retirement savings. It's not astronomical.
Can we make it the 99.9% vs the 0.1% instead? I'm already top 3% and tbh even once I hit 1% I still won't be able to in good conscience buy a mega yacht 😢
You can become rich relatively in a short time at least in the US. If you have a high salary and can live on a low budget or both you and your SO have medium to high salaries you can have a million dollars or more in 15 years. Read quit like a Millionaire

Boomers will go down as the worst generation in American history.
Selfish is only one aspect of it, unfortunately
Boomers are broke
Exactly. Which is why they are all still working.
Hahaha. I wish.
