I hope by manifesting you mean sending lots of emails and making lots of calls and letting all your friends know youre looking for work. Something will happen—this industry sucks—screw them if they dont hire you—sorry its taking longer than it should. ❤️

I do actually feel like something happened in the past two or so weeks. There’s been a noticeable slowdown in recruiters reaching out and relevant new job posting activity. I don’t know if it was a slow beginning to Q2 or a sign of things to come. Time will tell. But if you try to make sure that you’re not personalizing it when the job market hits a speed bump or isn’t as active, it’ll help keep your vibe high.

Deloitte GPS Business Analyst vs Mercer Health Consulting Analyst?

Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)

Concerns:

Exit opportunities
Pigeonhole-ing myself into health consulting / How hard would it be to join Big 4 in a year or two if I don't like it

If a recruiter reaches out, you have a great initial convo then they say they’ll follow-up shortly with next steps and don’t (after 7 biz days). Is it worth following-up? My sense is if they were interested they would be pushing the process forward?

For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Anyone think she saw me blush lightly at her comment yesterday and she’s making a move, or is this strictly work related?
