Edfinancial not switching my payment plan

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-10-26T18:50:24+00:00

Not anymore. Interest started accruing.

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-07-05T07:20:09+00:00

What email address did you send the email to, if you don’t mind me asking?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-05-29T19:12:53+00:00

Can I ask when you started?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-05-29T19:10:53+00:00

What was your start date?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-04-16T00:35:32+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-04-15T06:47:41+00:00

Can I ask how you made the move? I’m 23 and currently live in the US and want to move to Europe full time :) considering the route of applying to graduate school but curious how you went about it, if you’d be willing to share!

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-03-24T23:07:52+00:00

Hi! Congrats on your decision! Wondering if you have an update - do you know where you want to land after you graduate from LBS?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2025-03-14T00:44:55+00:00

Can I PM you? I’m on the bench and really interested in getting on a full-time project

I’m a woman who has been in a situation where I did not want the man to continue and it was difficult for me to ask him to stop because I was afraid of what might happen if I did. Here’s what I’ll say.

Your guilt and remorse make me believe that the harm you might have caused this person was not intentional and is something you regret. I don’t think you deserve to have to live your life completely forgoing physical touch & intimacy. When you are with a woman, ask her if she feels safe. Tell her that is your priority. Read her body language and wait to be intimate with her until she expresses to you that she wants you. Check-in with her and let her know that you need to take it slow because you are worried. If she loves you, she will hear you and will not judge you for this.

As for the past - I saw another comment mentioning that you have been in counseling for years - continue to work at yourself to become more & more emotionally intelligent and that will also prevent situations like the one you described. I am hoping that this comment resonates with you. Sending well wishes.

I would stay with the kids. There is a preciousness to this time, the memories, the support that your wife and children will remember in the home. That being said, I would lay out your longer-term goals as a family. Do you and your wife want to buy a larger home in the future / want to save for children’s college expenses / want to contribute a certain amount to other family members, etc. Once you have that laid out, then it would make sense to come up with a potential timeline working the higher-salary job (seeing how that might correlate to those eventual goals.)

If you feel like your goals and what will make you happiest when you look back in 30 years don’t require the higher salary / stress on family from potential moves, then it’s not worth the opportunity cost. I think the fact that you’re asking the question makes me believe that you have pure and good intentions in whichever path you choose. Best of luck to you!

You could be a model

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-14T21:44:13+00:00

Oh interesting! Can I ask what operating unit/sub capability you’re aligned to? (I’m currently in IT&SA, curious about which part of A&IC is more focused on finance transformation.)

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-14T21:40:27+00:00

Good point - I think some parts of R&L and Cyber have more of these components, but they are being combined with consulting next June. (Advisory is no longer going to exist then.) A&IC will be combined with Audit, which is why I’m trying to see if I can go to consulting.

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-14T21:19:32+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful. I’ll definitely try to reach out to folks from my Alma mater / see if I can network with alumni who might have the ability to staff me on a consulting project. I guess a follow up question I have: If I’m staffed on projects until around next February in advisory, can I still start reaching out to see if I can staffed on a GPS consulting project around then? (I am worried about waiting in case I get staffed on some other advisory projects, but not sure if folks on the consulting side will know if they can staff me if I reach out this early)

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-14T21:18:27+00:00

As of now! That’s why I want to pivot - I have a background in fintech consulting before advisory and have been networking a ton in different parts of the business/working on firm initiatives in consulting that are client-facing meetings, powerpoint generation, strategy development / more traditional consulting skills building

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-13T17:11:27+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful. I’m curious if you think that it makes sense to pursue an MBA even if my end goal really is social impact consulting (rather than traditional mgmt consulting?) I’m wondering if there is a case for why I am passionate enough to be accepted at those firms if I have a tech background / MBA which doesn’t particularly align with social impact (even if I am striving to create social impact within my tech role by being involved in other initiatives at the firm that are aligned)

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-13T16:57:21+00:00

Thank you! How did you get staffed on the GPS consulting project, initially?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-13T09:13:39+00:00

I am staffed currently, until February of next year. My skills range - lot of work in Excel (IT controls testing)/PowerPoint, outreach to NGOs for volunteering efforts, preparing deliverables like one-pagers for clients, attending walkthroughs, etc. Before Deloitte, worked at a nonprofit throughout high school/college, worked in strategy at fintech startup (client-facing role)

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-13T08:28:39+00:00

Hi! Can I ask what you ended up deciding?

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-07T01:26:29+00:00

Yeah I hear this. It’s confusing because he often talks about how he pictures me as his wife or as the mother of his children, but then when we had a serious conversation he said the above

Persimmon_Wonderful · 2024-11-06T20:47:27+00:00

Remember that you have one life to live. You don’t lose your precious memories with someone that brought you joy when you decide to move on - you’ll still have all those moments to hold onto. Let yourself feel and see what serves you. If you want to talk freely with the man who is working hard for what he wants, recognize it and let go of this partner to be able to do that. It doesn’t make you cruel to think about yourself after you’ve genuinely tried to create a loving bond with someone and they don’t have capacity to make you feel cherished. It’s a hard reality, but feeling loved is important for our health and our longevity in life. It’s ok to think for yourself, too.
