Only term insurance and only if you have someone depending on your income. Stay away from whole life or any variant there of.

Usually the best options are the ones offered within your firm's life insurance coverage where you can add multiples of your coverage for not that much money. Most plans will allow you to add up to 4-5x your annual salary, in addition to what your company provides.

Ditto to both comments above. Term and if no dependents no need for life insurance.

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Does McK have a corporate card, and if so do they make you use it for travel? Likely starting there soon and wanted to see if it was worth keeping my current card since yearly renewal fee is coming up 😅
