Barclays Discussions

I recently left a firm I had been with for 6 years. I opted to go with a smaller office in the same field of law where it seemed that things were going to be better. I was given the senior attorney position to help manage the removal defense department of an immigration office. From the day I started, I have felt duped - the dept has very little organization and I came to clean up a hot mess of a docket. The owner is trying to change things but I feel misled in what I was offered. Wwyd?

Just heard of the story of a senior who was fired because she was interviewing at a new firm, and this new firm called her current firm for references. Obviously they (cont’d)...

How to kindly turn down Pharma and Financial work without sounding entitled or above it? Serious question.

PayPal to the moon let’s gooooo

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Does anyone have any insights on the Certificate Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM)?

What should be included in my digital marketing portfolio?

Thoughts on a career in advertising? Trying to give my college friends advice and I know nothing about career trajectory, work life, etc. Any 🐠 with insight to share?

Would love to know if anyone else on here works in the music biz! I bring publicity to indie and unsigned musicians

What makes you automatically roll your eyes in a meeting? I’ll start: when account people tell me not to think about the budget because the client will find the money if they like an idea 😐😑🙄

Has anyone heard of steadily insurance? Looking at new employment options and saw them posting on indeed and Glassdoor for remote sales. Saying $185k ote. The reviews just look very suspicious to me, like they are fake.

Would you marry another lawyer?

I was contacted by google to setup a call for a conversation. I’m worried because I’m no where close to being prepared for a FAANG technical interview at this stage. Doing a quick research I read if i don’t do well on an interview, I won’t be able to apply for 6-12 months? I might be overthinking this but should I talk to the recruiter and if asked for an interview, let them know I’m not ready? Let me know your thoughts? Thank you!

Can we talk designations a minute? I'm at the agency level now and would like to move to a company underwriter. If I'm going to add some designations to my portfolio, which would be the best? I don't think jumping right into CPCU is the right way to go. I can earn my CIC and then pursue a CRM or CPRM. I don't think I want to do the CISR since that won't do much for me if/when I move to underwriter. Is there something else I should consider? Do designations matter at the company level?

I joined industry a few months ago, now that I’ve gotten the hang of things, I was able to compress my workload for the close from 40 hours to 16 with automation. Afraid to get fired.

Anyone with insight on PwC OFRO?

Today I’m feeling very “eeeh” about my job...

A big part of my job is being a good listener, but I sometimes suck at it. I either get bored and check out, or obsess over what I should be saying. Do you think I have ADD? Has anyone overcome this?
