So, I just sent my marriage-based GC application in and I’m about to dish out nearly $1,700 for the i130 and i485. Has anyone ever gotten EY to reimburse them? I know the policy says no reimbursement, but what’s the incentive to stay once you get your EAD? Thoughts?

Hi fishes. Currently interviewing with Accenture for the Talent & Organization (T&O) team for the change management profile. Wanted a quick comparison of the work life balance, career progression, perks and benefits compared to EY GDS. Thanks in advance.

Officially on maternity leave for 8 months after today!! I also got the green light for promotion, pretty happy with all things Deloitte right now! 👌🏻👏🏻

Is it a red flag when a recruiter talks about unrealistic benefits like getting a chance to fly to another state just to visit the client HQ all expense-free? Or is it really a thing? Let me know if you have experience like this.

For the last month I’ve been contemplating life. It hasn’t been so much if, but more so when. A director on my team in a different vertical has been pushing me to the brink with extreme emotional abuse and now sabotaging my livelihood; job security (health insurance, financial stability, place to live etc) following months of initiating a flirtatious relationship they finalized a divorce. Just months ago this was someone I saw spending my life with, growing old besides …

I inherited around 70k in a TD AmericanExpress IRA account. Just turned 30...I MIGHT use the $$ as a house down payment down the road, but would actually prefer to invest it longterm for retirement. Already maxing out 401k and Roth. What would be the best investment options?

Anyone ever considered contractor gig in Meta/Facebook or any other big players in tech? I'm full-time in a smaller company and it's pretty stable. Wondering if the move could be worthwhile.

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Pre pandemic I was traveling 5 days a week and just used left over per diem on the one night I went out with friends at home. During covid I stayed home.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this?
