I’m only in my early 30s but I feel like I’m becoming that sour associate who’s starting to think “well back in my time…” I hate that I’m becoming that person and am trying to fix that attitude, but I’ve also come across more junior associates post COVID who seem burnt out already and does not give a f about their work product. No sense of responsibility or trying to own a task, not interested in getting trained, always off camera when we’re on, logs off early everyday, and looking to coast

Cruise ship with potential coronavirus infected passengers docked this morning at Bayonne NJ and hundreds let out without any quarantine. Thoughts?

I am so tired of Deloitte allowing bias towards MDs. Only because you are not an equity partner, your voice is automatically muted, you can contribute but you don’t get to decide. The minute a senior manager gets promoted to a principal, he gets on top of an MD with 15+ years experience and treats you like he is your boss. I mean this is a cast system at its best! I can’t wait to leave this firm, COVID can’t end fast enough.

“Let’s postpone this meeting for two weeks. I’ve been tested positive for COVID” We’re all working remotely and I’ve faced this situation 6 times as it is. Y’all wild but stay safe!!!

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

My husband turned out positive for Covid 19 and I’m negative (still). Anybody out there who took care of someone with Covid cares to share advice? 🙏

How are people getting tested before traveling to a location that requires covid test within 72 hours of traveling? When do you take the actual test to time it to get the results in time

XPost: Major burnout. I don’t want to do tax anymore or PA. I’ve been working nonstop only break I had was when I was down with Covid twice. I dread waking up in the mornings for work. I have 120 tax returns to prep before 10/15. And there is more to this list because they keep retaining new clients. This is my 6th busy season. I feel so empty and depressed. Unfulfilled like I’m wasting my life and career. To think I’m going to work in tax for the rest of my life makes me feel hopeless.

Has anyone taken a fully remote job (aka it’ll be remote post-covid)? Any regrets or advice? From the physical standpoint, I know you can rent out spaces so you don’t have to wfh all the time but I value camaraderie. At my last new job I started during the pandemic, I was able to make one work friend and we’d do Zoom lunches and stuff. It helped to a degree but idk if I can last 1-3 years never working with another person in-person.

I'm moving to the East Coast from L.A. in a few months. Not seeing patients due to covid and using my spare time to plan. Any advice on culture at work, dress codes, etc.?

Traveling to France and Italy for honeymoon in June/July. Should I be worried about the corona virus, or will it subside by then? Looking into travel insurance now.

What if you are mandated for a Vaccine? We know there are different ways to look at this; moralistic, political, personal and professional. Never the less, I'm pretty sure of the dilemma each of us will face in the near future! I'm interested hearing what your thoughts if confronted?

Anyone have with recent experience interviewing/hiring with FP? Most of what I found online is from pre-covid but it sounds like things might have changed a bit.

Made plans for my close non-lawyer friend to visit. Found out she is unvaccinated (hasn’t gotten around to it - she says). The handful I hangout with are vaccinated. Majority of my office is vaccinated - or required to wear mask entire day. Struggling to find the words to cancel plans until she’s vaccinated. She is sensitive. Any advice?

Did Slalom ever have a covid vaccination policy in place, like a condition of employment? Thank you.

Looking to move to a state that will not mandate school vaccines for my kids. I need more research before deciding to administer it to my little ones. I am not looking for advice on vaccines, just wondering where to move. Somewhere with great public schools so my kids can learn and so I can continue teaching. Would love a state that has great benefits and pay for teachers.

Why are so many people leaving audit? A partner told me he hasn’t seen anything like this before. What is happening?

What empty gesture did your employer give you for your work during Covid? For us, it was chocolate chip cookies in the cafeteria lol.

We going all in on Airbnb?!?! IPO, vaccine coming, Covid over soon

For those LGBTQ people who are unable to spend Christmas with family due to rejection, please know you are worthy of unconditional love and support. You have a large social media family who loves and supports you. Merry Xmas to everyone. Love you all ❤️🎄

How do RSU work when a company is acquired. For example, I have 200 shares that are not vested awarded at $100 per share. When the company is acquired does it convert to 200 shares and the new company value? So if the new company is $200 per share is it now equivalent to 40k rather than the 20k now? Or do they some how keep it at the 20k value?

Ladies post something bold. I want to engage in a discussion tonight 🥺

Good luck all!

ACN: Can you please share what activities, projects, behaviors would lead to earning “distinctive achievement”? Revenue generation? Practice development? I just joined the firm and want to know what success looks like. Thx!

Do you call him daddy or do I call her daddy?

I hate billing 250 hours a month but I love spending a thousand bucks on one sweater with no regrets

Good investment account with very low or no commission in the UK? Thinking something like the UK equivalent of Robinhood, or even Wealthsimple (on the robot-advisor side). Thanks!

Has anyone else felt that they never learned how to properly manage their finances and become savvy investors? I’ve been taught to be financially self sufficient, but feel really behind when my friends mention their investments (prompted by me). I’m starting to have more disposable income now after paying off my debt, and am looking for good resources to learn more. I’m currently reading brokerage site FAQs and some blogs that popped up in my initial searches. :) TIA

Trying to decide between the different Cirque Du Soleil shows in vegas.. O or KA? Also is the Celine Dion show worth going since she’ll be out of vegas next year?

Some day I will properly spell 'assessed' correctly on my first attempt. But not when I email the client about their newly "assed" property.

Recruiters on LinkedIn:...”send me any questions or concerns via messaging or email" Me: ::asking question:: Recruiter: ::crickets:: ME: 🤯🤬

How long it takes to hear from HR after submission of docs? I have given interviews and submitted the docs asked by them.

Do you guys get holiday gifts for your partners? I feel like it's normal in industry but in consulting it feels weird.

Does anyone have any advice on how to meet people in LA? I’m never in the office so I likely won’t meet people at work.
