Women in Accounting: I made a career pivot a few years ago from non-profit fundraising to accounting in hopes of making a livable wage and to build a career trajectory. My question to the accounting community is it unrealistic to think my managers would take the time to mentor me to help build my skillset? So far it hasn't happened and rather I've been told stay in your lane when I've brought up improvements to antiquated processes or suggested efficient methods. I don't want their jobs!

I don’t know about you, but this year, I want to get better at having a work/life balance. I love having the time in the summer to do things around the house, but struggle when the school year starts. If you have any tips, suggestions, or systems that have worked for you when it comes to planning, etc. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Anyone have a lawyer or personal finance advisor they trust and recommend in NYC? Post MBA and new to the city; I need to buckle down and finally get a will and outside $ advice on taxes.

Anyone in NYC found the secret to lowering their dry cleaning bill, aside from washing suits less frequently? Tired of paying so much but I don't know what else to do. Can I machine wash suits?

Making $97k this year and not sure where it all went. I feel I should have more saved. Rent is $2,300 and my pet is about $200 a month (food,insurance)

Have any of you guys received the 'premium' backpack that is currently being sent to few dusi folks?
Want to know if they have started sending to Kolkata region or not.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Is there any logic in expecting lawyers to be glued to their seats when there are no deals/matters on? I don’t understand why law firms haven’t adopted the consulting model...

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Why do people lie?
