Virtual Meetings Discussions

Dress code for a zoom interview? Is a blazer necessary?

I was a stay at home mom for 10 years; had 4 children & helped my husband build a decent non legal business. I started my PI practice at end of 2019. I did great in 2020. Unexpectedly I developed inappropriate feelings for a mentor over zoom. We decided to stop working together and started therapy. I faced my horrible childhood trauma, gained confidence and realized how terrible my marriage is. Husband admits mistreating me & regrets taking advantage but thinks I’m unfair for wanting a divorce.

Ppl who got married in COVID with itty bitty or zoom ceremonies — how did you make it feel... “big” enough? Not in attendees or $ spent, but life significance. (Cont’d)

What to do if your creative directors give almost no direction, and when they do give any, the two constantly contradict each each other, they contradict what little they gave earlier, they don’t know how to find the nugget in the work to polish, they don’t schedule check-ins, don’t always reply to work sent, don’t turn on their cameras on zoom...

Any suggestions on wireless headphones, preferably with a mute button to take Skype/teams/Zoom calls .

Any feedback about working in-house at Zoom? E.g. cuture, salary, growth opportunities?

What tools/platforms mare you using for your virtual instructor-led classes? Any dedicated to vILT platforms beyond zoom/teams and the other usual suspects?

Anyone use extra lighting for their zoom calls from their laptop? My room is pretty dark and was looking into ring lights but didn’t see a good one for laptop setup - recs appreciated!

Should I just directly Slack someone in Sloan adcomms asking them whether they’ll send admitted and/or enrolled student a gift? I was really looking forward to that book man.

Hi! Anyone successfully use Zoom or Teams to record interviews that will get spliced with other footage? Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid?

Help me spot my issues. I believe business will be forever changed and much more things will be virtual. I want to move my practice to as remote as possible and I want to move to a beach somewhere. I expect my savings will be 50-100k. I plan to meet with clients via zoom and travel when nesscary to events, and mandatory in person meetings etc. I'm mostly a transactional lawyer and don't have a ton of court appearances.

What are y’all wearing on these Zoom interviews? Blazers, button-up shirts? Or causal like a sweat shirt?

Microsoft teams q: how do enable a meeting so the chat works with external folks?

Anyone from Genpact here? Is the Genpact IT support so pathetic and good for nothing? I see my wife struggling to connect to client vpn for 2hr in the morning and when escalated to IT they just put her into another 2hrs of unproductive long queue in Zoom to connect to a support staff who has no idea on how to resolve the connectivity issue. This has been a daily excercise right after the pandemic hit.

Can someone breakdown the prestige in finance? Like top rank is M&A, bottom rank is back office compliance. I’m at a family zoom gathering and I’m not following this conversation lol.

Has anyone used Slack and/or Skype messaging at work? We currently use Skype but considering going rogue with a couple paralegals and using Slack.

McK 🐠, have my first round case (zoom) coming up in a few weeks. Any idea what the % pass rate is for moving onto final round, and the final round pass rate too?

I work at a startup — our CEO has requested we have our video on during every call. I have a 5-6 calls a day. I think this is ridiculous. I will be leaving in the next 2-3 months. Is there a politically correct way to say this is too much? I have zoom fatigue and these demands are an example of how I’m working for a dictator and why I need out.

I am interviewing for an in-house counsel position at a large corporation. I have four 30-minute (and back to back) Zoom interviews set up with various executives at the company (one being the GC to whom the position reports). Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare and what to expect?

I just need to say it here since my bosses & colleagues don’t seem to listen or give a 💩 about me at all (&Im going crazy)— but I am exhausted, frustrated, overworked, basically dying inside & just about ready to jet off to a deserted island and never look back.
Why did I ever sign up for this?? 😩😭

Okay rant over, thanks for listening, going to go eat my first meal since breakfast now and cry myself to sleep and do it all over again tmrw (starting with a client zoom call first thing)... 😭

I was onboarded during the pandemic, and it's been rough. There is a great deal of institutional support (loa, flextime, health resources) but the managers themselves haven't adapted to the fact that a new joined need facetime (or zoom time) and mentorship. In 2019 I interned here and while the hours were still long, I wasn't banging my head against the wall trying to figure out answers from multi-layered ambiguity.

Have other folks had similar problems? What can I do to improve this situation?

Help! My manager just sent me this message on slack during a conference call (we are working remotely today): You can drop off if you're not contributing to the call. What do I do??

Does anyone remember the “nudge” on MSN that used to shake up the screen? Wish we could do the same with Slack or emails 😂

Just made the Jump to a big 4 from industry. Coming in at an MD level. I’ve been told to network with everyone... any recommendations on how to keep track of everyone I “meet” and key players I should get in front of? in normal times- you would meet people in person, have a meal, grab a drink.... now we are stuck on zoom ... any tips or tricks you would recommend? i’m thinking excel spreadsheet sheet with top line keywords? ugh

Is everyone doing full suit and tie for zoom interviews?

For coffee chats these days, is zoom the new norm? If not, can I simply set up a call

Any tips for my assistant general counsel interview via Microsoft Teams? Never had an in-house interview or a remote interview. I really want this 🥺

What are people wearing to zoom interviews these days? I have a couple with PE firms coming up and I’m not sure if I should go with the athleisure look or full on suit and tie?

I am on two separate jobs and I had a quarter filing last week so I was very clear with my other job that I have limited availability. We filed late Thursday night and my manager on my other team immediately jumped on me telling me that I need to pick up the slack on this other job. It’s like you can’t even breathe during busy season. I am doing the best I can do but constantly being stretched thin makes me just want to walk out during busy season.

What’s everyone talking about reaching out to their interviewer at kellogg for? When I registered for an interview, I was given an exact date and time and was told I’d get an email with a zoom link 24 hours in advance. Is that not the case for everyone?

Accidentally sent a private zoom chat message to everyone on a 60+ person training call lol

How’s everyone else’s Friday going?

Do we only get access to the CBS admitted students Slack after we put down the deposit?

Partners, what would make you skip the Q&A portion at the end of an interview? I just had a final round interview with a partner and even though we had about 3 minutes left after the case, he essentially showed me out of the Zoom room without inviting any questions (I actually prepared a couple beforehand). Should I take this as a rejection or could there be other reasons?

Anyone from Slack here? Want to know what the interview process is like for design or product roles!

Jacket on or off for 30 min zoom phone screen w/ recruiter?
