What are the best personal travel credit cards for consulting?
I am able to use a personal card but am supposed to book any business related travel through SAP concur, so I’m assuming that cards such as Venture X that rely on booking via their travel portal are less useful?
I also spend a lot on dining so I’m looking for a card that is good for that as well.

Maybe a dumb question but if someone vests in a pension are they still able to rollover a lump sum into an IRA? Or is it too late? Have a client who keeps blowing me off to get documentation...CONT

I make $4000/M after taxes and max 401K and spend about $2400 for all fixed costs (rent, utilities, etc).

I know this is vague but need some better financial planning.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet...

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time.

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?
