I'm leaving Deloitte, but my new job doesn't start until mid-July. When should I put in my notice? The last time I gave an employer a full two weeks' notice, I was fired that day. I don't want to be without a check. I've only been here three months, and haven't seen how my managers handle it when someone puts in their notice. Is Deloitte known for letting people work through their notice period?

Weird question, I know, please forgive me, but does your office allow you to wear shorts or open toed shoes in the summer? It gets stupid hot here and the fact that we can't wear summertime appropriate clothing in my office is pretty enraging to me.

A friend who wants to enter accounting was going to get a master's. I think they just need an associate or accounting hours to supplement bachelor's degree. Thoughts?

Thoughts on romantic relationships at work? Does your firm have a policy on this? We can't help who we are attracted to, develop feelings for, etc. And, yes I've been involved with my boss on and off for almost 10 years. Some suspect us, but we've kept it to ourselves. Don't beat me up too badly.

What's your long term goal for your career? And for those become a partner, or a head of tax, what drives you to make it happen?
