cheaper than allen edmonds, quality is as good, shoes look better. meermin are probably the cheapest dress shoes you should buy.

Wow those are some good prices for good dress shoes...

i ended up getting a couple of allen edmonds on black friday for $197 each. i could still return them, but i figured i'd snag them incase i dont find a better alternative... and they come in width EEE. Which for the shoes I bought, is exactly what i needed. it's the first time in my life that dress shoes fit me properly!

Sticking with mainly 2 work sets. I think this will work great for me. On the bigger lifts, I'm doing 5 reps then 10 reps. Mixed rep ranges have worked very well for me in the past.

Damn work was pretty boring. I would be so depressed working here if I didn't have deloitte at the end of the tunnel. The commute is long, and there's zero room for growth. Would be the perfect job to have (assuming the commute was short) once I'm in my 30's though, if I could land some higher level (well paying) position and want a good work/life balance and job security.

But i can't complain! I've finally stopped collecting unemployment benefits and can support myself 

Ended up getting myself a pair of Nike Free Flyknit 4.0's on black friday for $39.

My only regret is not getting 3 pairs. I will be wearing these every damn day, they are so comfy and are kind of wide so they fit my feet perfectly!

^ picking deloitte for sure! I start that job summer/fall 2017 though, in line with people graduating in May. Heres what i could do at either:

EY Forensic Technology & eDiscovery Services:
- forensic data acquisition (cool!)
- data analytics (no thanks)
- eDiscovery (god no)

Deloitte Cyber Risk Services - Vigilant:
- forensic data acquisition
- secure software enablment
- managed services
- cyber threat intelligence
- security operations center (SOC) services
- SIEM services

So basically at deloitte i could do what i would have liked to do at EY plus more things!

But the really good thing is that i got into deloitte vigilant. Deloitte is broken down into secure-vigilant-resilient which is like a before-during-after security approach, and they also have a strategy/governance team on top. Vigilant is hardest to get into: its the most technical, a relatively small team (only about 8 vigilant entry level offers in NYC this year), and has the more down to earth people to boot. Everyone wants to be in vigilant.

But the kicker is, if i want, i can work on projects with the other teams too. You can read about them here: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/risk/solutions/cyber-risk-services.html#

Really its a no brainer to join deloitte. The pros to EY were that the FTDS team is small and doubling every 2 years, so i would be nearly guaranteed a promotion every 2 years till i got to manager level. Also EY's people are extremely friendly and supportive, you wont feel as much "corporate competition" there. If i had the chance to apply to their real cyber threat management team (they didnt recruit at my school) then i might have picked EY. It would be an easier commute for me too.
