Thinking of spending half a year in Germany and the other half in Spain/Portugal with my family. Can anyone share experiences, esp. with a kindergarten kid? Thanks!

Suggestions on events which can accommodate someone who is pregnant? Have a few clients who are expecting

Our general policy is for everyone to return to office 5 days/wk but they’re caveating that by saying new parents, caregivers, etc can ask for flexibility. Since it’s so vague, what could I try to ask for as a breastfeeding parent to a <1 year old?

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Anniversary ideas?

We're stumped on something pregnant friendly that still feels special.

Just took a pregnancy test and it is ++! This is our 3rd, I am excited and we planned for this, but man the accountant in me can’t stop processing the numbers. Instead of focusing on our budget today (and the insane cost of daycare), help me find a fun way to tell my husband! My first I gave him the test and a little baby outfit from his alma mater, second I just said it while we were talking about how nice it is that our first is a good sleeper. Any fun ideas would be appreciated!

I'm a project engineer for a managed services company. I've been with the parent company for 15 years before moving to the subsidiary for a more technical position with better pay. Only woman on my team. Am I underpaid for my position at $74k in the deep south?

Traveling dads - how do you handle things when baby is still very young and you are traveling. Wife says she can’t take care of the baby on her own, I can understand it’s not easy, and I love my job..

I’m an averagely competent baby lawyer at a top 20 UK firm. I’m interested in getting exposure to high profile and complex deals, so weighing up offers from Sidley and Latham.I’m able to work hard, but is it likely that I’ll be out of my depth? Do I need to be incredibly competent to succeed at these types of firms?

This is super specific... but any moms here had a breast reduction or breast surgery of any kind and have any trouble breast feeding? I had a reduction at 20 and am now pregnant with my first at 30. Curious if I will be able to breast feed and trying to learn from others that have been through this what this might look like for me. Thank you ❤️

Anyone here in EY USA and can point me to the maternity policy? I can only find Canadian or UK versions ok the policy site!

Started as a baby legal assistant about ten years ago at a transactional firm - now the majority (seven years) of my experience is in litigation. I am wanting to move more toward transactional or in-house now. Am I basically starting completely over? I am well respected and sought-out in litigation, but I'm unsure of how to market myself in the direction I want to go with as much confidence. Has anyone successfully made this move?

Have you ever clearly lost out on a job bc you were pregnant? If so, what’d you do about it?

Random question, does anyone who has a better Maternity leave policy Johnson & Johnson or Merck & Co?

Do women who can’t get pregnant naturally (not talking adoption, but would need IVF/surrogate) ever just feel like they weren’t “meant” to have children? Like maybe this just wasn’t the universe’s plan for me?

I’m pretty sure I just orange pilled my late boomer father in law explaining Bitcoin, deflationary monetary supply, and blockchain on my home office whiteboard. Total coincidence after he made fun of it from a passing article. “So what’s coinbase and how do I get some Bitcoin?” Was the last question. 💀🤫

Anyone experiencing depression? I did a self assessment, and scored 2.5/5. Extreme fatigue, loss of joy and some level of loss of appetite ( not really experiencing prolonged sadness and trouble sleeping). If you are, are you seeking professional help? I’m 12 weeks pregnant. Had one serious depression episode during week 7, but has been getting better since. This week I feel like I’m getting back into the darkness again though. Is this gonna get better past trim1 or not really?

I'm looking at A&M (Senior Associate, Operations--Process Industry Team).

How's the work itself and any insights on WLB and travel?

I’m chatting with a colleague at Martinez when two heavily drunken men in suits come by, and start hitting on us with a sense of entitlement. For the first time in my life I open my mouth and say:

Has anyone who had to move out of the US because no luck in lottery successfully got the Canadian PR? Can you share your experience? Is it worth it? And what are your plans moving forward?

I hate due diligence requests. Every time my email notification pings I want to cry. I’m already going as fast as I can.

Went from an ultrasound tech to a clinical applications specialist. I’ve never had a traveling job and am used to having an always full schedule of patients every day. Anyone in the clinical applications field with some tips and typical salaries?

Hi guys
I'm looking for a job opportunity . please show some support!

Currently a senior but I’m doing a rotation to another team and I’m supposed to go back next Monday. However, I’m thinking about taking 2-3 months sabbatical to study for cpa and other stuff. Would this be burning the bridge given the short notice? I’m torn

How’s the Onsite opportunity for 10+ years experienced Java Microservices resources for US based projects in PS?

Can anyone share what the process looks like when you resign as a Big4 partner? Likely taking a position with a competitor. Expecting some difficult conversations around the client non-compete but not sure what to expect in terms of getting your capital out and cashing out pension (not vested yet), tax support for current calendar year, etc.

Left consulting to industry ~4 months ago. It was a tough adjustment in the beginning but I’m in a spot where I finally feel more comfortable. The hours are better than consulting (but not as good as my fed consulting experience) and people are helpful and super smart. My old company was bought by GDIT (federal contract) and my old team lead reached out to see if I was interested in coming back. I loved that team/client, and the hours were amazing (had 9/80 schedule too). But..continued below.

Friends !!! Looking to transition from US to Europe (Germany, Austria, Netherlands) and looking for leads to connect with partners in consulting firms. Background is in Transaction strategy and execution, digital and IT strategy.

I am looking to get into consulting firms in the Netherlands preferably in M&A space.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a recruiter or recruitment firm who could help me?
I have close to 3 years of experience in Financial due diligence and valuation. I am also a newly qualified ACCA accountant.
Open to share more details

How much yearly days off do you get?

I just learned that the Dutch gov is highly likely to do away with the 30% ruling. How much of a deal breaker is this for someone planning to move to the NL from abroad?

Would you have moved without it?
How do you expect it will impact you?

Any Deloitte fish willing to shed some light on Deloitte's Value Creation Services (VCS) (part of M&A advisory). Potentially interested in making the move from strat. arm of other big player.

1) what type of engagements realistically make up most of the work?
2) where is VCS positioned within the org?
3) how does VCS within M&A advisory relate to work done at e.g., Monitor Deloitte?

Thanks.

What is the perception of Deloitte Corporate Finance in the Netherlands? That is as a brand, it's talent pool, exit opportunities etc.

Hi fishes, what’s a good salary to live in Berlin? What would be considered in top 5%?

BCG Amsterdam folks, anyone willing to offer a referral? Saw they're recruiting heavily

Other half is job searching across Europe. Mid Management level to senior management depending on the role. All the interviews require a relocation and full time in the office. I didn't think we were all back in the office, but maybe it's just where I'm at that's different?

Is it normal now across Europe to be in the office? Is remote / home working already gone and we're back to the daily commute?

I may potentially take a role in Berlin. For a Manager role is 70-80k euros a good deal and how far does that go when living? What would be the average rent for a 1 bed?

Does someone coming from Canada need to know the native language of the destination country they wish to work at to be eligible for consulting roles in Europe?

Does Accenture have a strong federal practice in Europe?

I just received my talent outcome yesterday, my salary increase is 4%, so my annual gross is around 65-66k €, Is that an average salary of a consultant here in NL? Or I am in the lower bracket? I am at level 9 and I have 11 years in the industry.

Anyone on here have any experience in aerospace and defense in Europe either as a consultant, in industry, or otherwise?

Any 🐠 at Accenture (ideally in the Benelux) willing to connect and share some insights and maybe provide a referral for an analytics consultant position at Accenture Belgium? I have 2 YOE in Financial Analytics

Does anyone have experience working in Austria? I’m moving to Vienna and curious what experienced Senior Managers in management consulting make. I just got my offer, so curious for comparison 😬

How can I invest in S&P 500 from Germany? I am coming from the US and use Charles Schwab currently to do so, but would like to stop using it to avoid filing US taxes next year (not an American citizen).

TIA!
