Hi - How do you find out who is a top criminal defense healthcare attorney in your state?

First time trying to buy a property for an eventual rental income (a single house or 2 or 3 family). Would you buy it under your personal name, get a residential mortgage, then transfer the deed to LLC later or buy it under LLC name at the first place and get a commercial mortgage? What would be pros and cons of each?

Deloitte
Hi everyone, I just had a first round interview for Deloitte M&A Valuation Analyst role based in Australia. I feel like I went pretty well, they were pretty keen at my Analytics background ( DA/Modelling) & my interest in finance (preparing CFA L1 atm)
However I haven’t heard back anything after two days(e.g. book my time for round 2 interview)…I know there is supposed to two more round of interviews.
Just wondering if this is the normal waiting time or I’m not the person they looking?

What would make you leave a contract?

What techniques are you all using for lead generation and business development?

Hi everyone just left my permanent role to go the contractor route. Currently employed through a staffing company so I am a W-2 but plan on going the independent route. They offer insurance and 401k. I understand I’ll need to start an LLC. Any advice or things you wish you’d have known when you first started? Would you advise I stay with the staffing? They take. 16% cut but the projects are lucrative

Would stay on a project that forbids you from asking when your invoice will be paid? Context- I was on a very good project as a sub to a sub on a Big4 federal project. However their HR department had license to “delay” my invoice and was told I was not able to ask why…
