Where are the main hubs for supply chain consulting in the US? Where is your firms largest SC team located? Or are most SC consultants spread out all over the country to serve local clients (similar to Europe)? I have been hinted by a partner for an opportunity to relocate and I am looking for tips regarding location.

Not to be vague, but any company in the US no matter the location can have supply / logistics problems, so until X company contacts your firm, expect projects to be in any state!

That is expected indeed. What I’m kind of after is, for example, here in Europe there are regions that have plenty of industrial companies (e.g. Germany) and regions which have almost none (e.g. Portugal). So you can quite easily narrow down where your potential clients could be located.

Really depends on the supply chain discipline. Warehousing? Ocean freight? Road freight? Air? Small parcel? Process optimization? Etc

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
