Can someone please explain the process of selling a home when you have an Islamic loan? Since it’s profit sharing i don’t fully own the home right?

Can you write off mortgage interest?

How do I become an MBB employee? Is it possible to gain experience at big 4+ACN and then get referred in??

Looking to get an office chair and seen threads on here recommending Herman Miller or Steelcase. For those that bought these did you just order online or go in store somewhere to try out? Seems like a lot of $$ to just order online when they charge restocking fees for returns if you’re not satisfied.

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry.

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

I made bacon & eggs for breakfast for my wife. Then we're going to cook together for a few hours and have neighbors over for dinner. I'm thankful for her, them, my job, you lot, and lots of wine.

Any recs for CIPM study books?

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
