Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?

I find considerably more typos when I print stuff out but not sure what you home office set up is like and if you can print double-sided.
I find it much harder to catch typos on a screen. Maybe I’m old school but I prefer doing a final edit on paper. Preferably, I leave it alone for a bit before I do the last read through—like work on something else for a while. Clears the mind. Having said that I think everyone should get a bit of a break under the circumstances.
The good old font change trick might help if no printer is an issue. Supposedly it (like printing things out) helps you to see things in a different light and helps with finding errors.
Thanks! Haven’t heard of that before, but will give it a try.
Nah, I think this is happening to everyone right now. Read through it twice, have your secretary read through it, but after that stop. There’s only so much reading over you can do before you’re just being inefficient.
In the alternative- I know someone who doesn’t turn anything in until she can read it over twice without changing anything. Personally, I’m not the type of person that could do that because I will always change something- but maybe that will work for you?
Spell check
Read through your Memo before sending. Twice
Reading anything you write out loud to yourself. It sounds annoying, but you pick up awkward sentences and errors.
I really like Grammarly Pro, but I was recently told that it keeps the data on local servers which may be a security violation if you are working with sensitive content. Again, not sure about this (but I deleted grammarly off my work computer).
You can get the plug in for MS Word and for Outlook — super helpful.
I’d check with someone if you are allowed to use it.
