Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.

My home office is NY but I live in NJ and I’m filing taxes in multiple states that I worked in this year. On my W2 federal wages are the same as NY state wages, how do I track down my New York w2 wages without access to my detailed timesheets? Can I just subtract my total wages from the state wages from my W2 of the other states I’ve worked in?

Any boulder (rock climbing) gyms you can recommend?

I just tested positive for COVID-19. Ask me anything you want. Anything. I’m a beacon of knowledge now and essentially a virologist l, epidemiologist, and family physician rolled into one.

For those who have been diagnosed with GAD, has therapy with a psychiatrist helped? Which prescriptions should one stay away from? Are any of you on medical marijuana? I am trying to determine options.

Rejected by google. Very depressed as was hoping to escape big4 consulting esp with all these h1b crap going on. Unsure of next move- hate going again on the interview treadmill which is depressing

I started working out and cleaned up my diet with the main goal being weight loss, but I'm really frustrated.

It's been a month, I feel like the effort I put in is huge and exhausting, but I haven't lost a pound, although I can see there's been a bit of muscle gain and I lost half an inch from my waist.

How do I find the motivation to keep going when I feel like the progress is so minimal?

For those of you in consulting/finance/high intensity jobs, what medication do you use for anxiety? Currently using a beta blocker as I’m afraid anything more will cause cognitive impacts.

Having some severe Executive Dysfunction atm. I can't imagine that the patent attorney bowl here is short on the neurodivergent. Suggestions/tips/tricks/advice are all appreciated.

Please, if you're neurotypical, think thrice before posting - I'm not normal, and want help, not stress or dismiss

Are any American consultants working in the middle east? Currently, trying to make the transition myself! Grew up in America, but my whole families from the middle east, so I want to do it for a couple of years.

The consumer electronics division in my company needs creative management/direction for a team of packaging designers, well probably more than that really. But there design team is not very organized or reliable because of their control freak owner, who is very indecisive, and probably micro-managing.

I work at a mid tier firm in an audit group of ~20 people. We’ve recently had two seniors and a manager leave, and I just found out another senior with a ton of big jobs is leaving in three weeks. I also just found out I’m being promoted to senior with a raise of 10%. In light of all these departures though, I kind of want to ask for more.... should I? And what % raise is appropriate? Any insight appreciated!

Any CPAs out there that decided to buy and run a business? Curious if my theory that after advising businesses how to run efficiently and effectively, that I could fairly easily deploy this experience in an existing business. Obviously I'm not ignorant that there will be obstacles to overcome but ultimately think it would be successful. For added context, I have an MBA, have focused of business development so understand sales and dealing with customers.

Thoughts welcome!

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
