Sae a few news articles online and it's worrying me.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

Curious what current breakdown is: Are you remote? Hybrid? In office?

I understand that in most cases folks with <2 YOE will join with the same title as UG campus hires. How many YOE (or months of experience) will qualify you for a higher pay band (compared to campus hires)?

What’s the fashion fishes opinion on the optimal work bag. Brief case feels out of date, backpack too juvenile. What’s the new gold standard?

How to apartment hunt when u don’t live in the city?
Everyone is now insisting on in person tours. I prefer it that way too. I just got back from the city viewed a bunch of apts. I want to see more but I’m not around. Any hacks here that people have figured out over time?
I don’t have friends that can view it for me either.

Is there a way to work part time or close to 40 hours a week average with big 4 in advisory? I don’t really care how much I get paid and just want some WLB and health insurance lol.

Does EY GDS and EY Global have separate sets of clients or does GDS aide Global in its operations ? I have an SAP offer from GDS but worried if I'll actually get any direct client exposure.

Democrat outrage baiting thing is getting really tired and old. I don’t think I will ever vote D again.

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!

What's the one thing for you that turns a house into a home? Or one thing that can always make a house feel homey?

What’s a fair calculator to know your affordable mortgage?

One online have a wide range in what’s considered “affordable”
Pre bonus and equity I earn 110k/yr in Wash DC.
I’ve seen 33% net income, but honestly $1650/mo CANT even get a 500sqft condo on rent.
30% gross is $2750/mo 😱
Others say I can afford 600k houses but that seems irresponsible and ridiculous.
My current rent is $1750 for a small 1bd1ba (cheap) but I’m sacrificing my safety in my neighborhood. No frills apt.

How do you find lenders? Should I pick a realtor first?

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock. Debating if I should test my luck with the market to see if rates will drop or if I should go ahead and lock my rate in before Rates increase even more

What is the most difficult part of buying a home for the first time?

Buying our first home and from a friend, we are both not using realtor. How do you got about doing this, does some have a playbook I can use?

What are some of the things that were a MUST when buying your first home and what were some things that you were more flexible with and why? I’m having a discussion with my partner about what we absolutely need and what can be worked on later. Also, any regrets?

Hi all! First post here: my husband and I are thinking of getting solar panels and battery storage but have some sticker shock (would require a sizable loan). Anyone in a similar boat and how has the experience been?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Thinking about using my VA loan in a few years. Any advice?

Looking to purchase my first home…yes at 47 years old…single family for me and my 4 daughters. Need a good mortgage with a low interest and a good program for teachers. In Northern California
