Sure. Try for it.

Do you like product management?

It seems like something to get more passionate about. I want to join a company like Apple or even smaller high growth like OpenSea or Unity to build a product from the ground up and see it across the world. Also looking for higher compensation and stock RSUs that come with that.
I enjoy consulting too but not as passionate about it and what I build only goes so far

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
