Ghosted after call back interview. Normal? Large Midwest firm. I had a zoom interview then an interview in person at their office. I sent handwritten thank you notes and asked one of the interviewers if they could give me a rough timeline. She said she sent my question to the recruiting committee but they never got back to me. A week later I sent an email to the recruiting coordinator asking for an update and also got silence. Safe to assume I’m out? I have another interview elsewhere soon..

I was r-ped and have been struggling so much even with meds and therapy 2x/weeks and using up all my vacation time. After years of being a very high biller and extremely well-liked, I’m getting hounded by partners for low hours (and tbh, lower work quality). So frustrating that I didn’t build up enough goodwill to buy me some grace through a tough time. Partners, if associates have generally been great, cut them some slack for a few rough months. You don’t know what else is going on.

Apparently my company is top heavy. Meaning there’s a lot of “project managers”. Than people who do the analytical client facing work. Once you get all the data you just give it to them and they basically do nothing with it, charge hours until the report is needed. I have people managing me (scientist) who aren’t qualified. They literally can’t do the work by portocol. They get paid more than me to sit on zoom meeting and discuss work I did. I feel underpaid and overworked. Is something wrong?

Hello! Advice needed.

I was recently paired with a newly hired copywriter. I feel like I’m having to pick up a lot of the slack in the team (writing scripts, editing idea write ups to be coherent, catching typos, pushing the language so it’s not so “straight”).

Just feels like I’m at a different “level” than this person (not trying to be pretentious, just truthful so I can get good advice). Not sure if it’s them getting used to the new job or maybe less experience?

I made this post in another bowl but I don't think it has any members.

I would add that the rest of the team is working in the morning without zoom training sessions. We have videos we are supposed to watch independently. Everyone has access to Slack and email which can be replied to asynchronously.

I'm waiting for my doctor to fill out a form from my employer but the letters they have now provide proof of the disability (without nuances) and what is recommended.

What is the funniest and/or most awkward Zoom moment you’ve had at work?

I worked at LinkedIn and one of the senior leaders was sharing screen during a meeting. The conversation shifted but the leader didn’t stop sharing screen. This person navigated to Yahoo news and clicked on an article filled with women in bikinis. This individual spent a solid 2-3 mins on the article scrolling and stopping to look at each woman. Needless to say this leader was very distracted by other things on our call.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
