deloitte has completely consumed my thoughts. i want that job so fucking badly. i've studied my ass off getting a 3.9 GPA so far, got 4 certifications, read about security on my own time, went on a bunch of interviews for jobs I didn't want just for interview experience, got a new suit for the interviews and always look crisp, attended all the information sessions and receptions to make connections, searched up common Big 4 interview questions and had answers/scenarios prepared in my head numerous days in advance, went to various career fairs, visited my schools career services office for interview advice and resume advice, met up with various recruiters for resume advice.... everything

should get an answer this coming week. going to email deloitte's head recruiter and let her know i have a couple of other offers. that should speed up the process and play in my favor (higher chance of getting an offer + higher pay)

My lifts were a little low on squat and RDL but that's because I haven't done legs in a while. But I can feel it:  they're going to consistently improve for a little while longer. Probably because I've been eating like shit and gained weight lol. But hey, I wasn't making progress at ~190lbs so I'll stick around 195-197 and then cut to 190 when it's VJ time.

Had my final interview with Deloitte this morning. Lots of competition there. 2 interviews back to back. Did not seem to make a single mistake. It felt very conversational. I'm hoping my master's and CISSP pull me through. Nobody else I spoke passed the CISSP already, and only a couple of other people I'm competing against have a master's (and only one of them in security - mostly info systems).

I have a good feeling. Should get an answer next week or the week after :D

Didnt lift yesterday so I'll lift today and tomorrow and be on track.

i think i'll study for the CISA exam next. Not sure yet. Maybe CRISC. Depends on what my job will entail, and if deloitte/EY hire me, depending on what they would most likely have me doing for work. But definitely not going to study for anything until i finish my MS though. Which is only about 8 weeks away!

It's not a bore, we all wish everyone on here succeeds wether in his sport or in life and it's good to see its finally paying off. Good luck with the job. Have you planned out how you would juggle between your work and lifting.

Thanks, its nice to hear that. My new place has a gym across the street from me and its $10 a month. It kinda sucks though and i havent been there in a while, but im pretty sure it has all i need! No its not planet fitness lol.

Got a job offer for information security in queens. starting salary is pretty good, and they pay back my FICA taxes too. health benefits cant be beat. 10% 401k whether i contribute or not. 35hr work week. pension. OT is paid at time and a half, if needed (which is rare). it's a union position! so job security is excellent.

i come from a low income family and my family income is very low. so this is big news to me. it's a bit surreal in fact. this changes a lot for my family. only reason we aren't homeless is because we don't pay rent and utilities (father's a super). with a job like this, my parents can move back overseas where its dirt cheap and i can support them with a little stipend. they have no retirement savings. hopefully some SS income though. no clue exactly. at least they have homes and families back there though.

but do i want it? no actually. its a 90min commute away. I'm not looking to throw away 3 hours of daily on NYC buses and trains. HOWEVER, deloitte officially called me for a final round interview... and i may have a spot in queens to live (subletting from a friend i know). much better than living in some random area of queens and being depressed because i have no friends around. i wouldnt accept this job if it werent for that.

so my ideal scenario is:
next friday: deloitte interview
next saturday: sublet my friend's apt in queens (40min commute from work) and move in
monday after: start my new job (hoping i can push it back this far)
june 2017: quit and travel europe for 3 months
sept 2017: start new job with deloitte

still waiting to hear back from EY though. pretty sure i'm making it to the final round there too. have no clue when the interview is though. it may conflict with my new job, but thats okay. ill take a day off.


but man, i can't tell you how good it feels to have been busting my ass this year with a condensed 1 year masters degree + 4 certifications AND i worked fulltime for the first 7 months of it, and have it finally start paying off. didnt want to bore all of you guys with how my interviews went in stuff, but i have been knocking them out of the park.

Yeah I'm putting an end to lifting with friends at their gym. I can't stand it. Sometimes I just can't say no to their workout, but even if I do, I can't even do my own workout properly. Couldn't RDL anywhere. Can't deadlift it up to an RDL either since my RDL > Dead by a lot.
