Fake seizures- a sad thing but I saw them regularly on my unit!

Two in one special:
1. What gets you most excited on a weekly basis?
2. One aspect of today's society you wish you could change?

When should you reach out to people for rec letters? How many schools should you apply to for round 1? If rejected, should you apply for the same number of schools round 2? Thanks for your help!!

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you ever get rejected from a job you didn’t even want and yet somehow you’re still upset? Haha I feel like a crazy straight man who gets rejected “fine bitch i didn’t want you any way!!”

I am on 60k and have been working as an Art Director for almost 4 years now. I have bronze lions/shortlists for a couple of campaigns from Cannes. Am I getting a shit deal?

The next time your client asks for analytics on your idea: just say "Josh Donaldson and Hillary's pollsters."

Any Recruitment Project Managers willing to share salary and location (even East Coast, West Coast, etc,)?
Thank you !

The annual Leo Burnett Cannes 'predictions' is a joke. It's obvious what will win based on past award shows. It's like me predicting that tomorrow will be a Friday.

I'm trying to prep for an interview for an operations role for commodity derivatives with Macquarie. I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with what type of questions I could expect to be asked? I haven't had luck finding results on the internet.

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?

Hi everyone, I'm eager to get some B.A or Project experience, having recently achieved my certification in Agile Project Management and I’m looking for new opportunities as a Project Administrator or Coordinator. I am experienced in project administration, sales, and PA work. I'm especially interested if anyone has any roles (remote or hybrid) in the U.K. Thanks in advance!

For those managers and senior managers who are directly working with new staff and interns - how are you maintaining the quality? I am at a breaking point now as I have no seniors on 3 of my clients. How am I supposed to concentrate on complex allocations if I have to do all the updates on basic M-1s. All the experienced S2 and S3s I trained got pulled into other engagements as acting managers. I am about to smash my laptop into pieces 😫

What’s the best career for a students who wants to work before going into strategy consulting? Let’s assume that working in external advisory and consulting is off the table.

Best thing to do with 100k+ Marriott points over the next year or so? Currently been knocked down to gold due to covid and lack of travel. Have a family+kids
