Do people who get put on PIPs or fired also get firm alumni emails?

Independent primary vs outstanding state primary, which one would you choose for your child and why? Sorry, I’m not very familiar with UK education system.

I just started a new job at a boutique firm and want to take the Friday off before Memorial day. Is it too soon to request vacation? How long should you normally be at a job before you start putting in vacation requests?

Hate when you come back to hotel after long day and you can't unzip your dress by yourself. :-(

Thinking about taking a vacation in Feb/March to just regather myself. Anyone know any good spots that are friendly to solo travelers? I’ve had some less than stellar experiences in the past. Also go ahead and drop if you’re M/F. I want this post to be as helpful as possible.

What’s the equivalent of KPMG’s Lighthouse at the other big 4?

Attire for a strategy role interview at a major bank? Suit and tie still expected?

Fishes, looking for recommendations on growing business development and sales skills. Finding and growing pipelines, establishing marketing materials, closing sales, and similar for services. I have on the job experience within consulting but never any formal training or education. Entering a new role where I'll need to build organizational capabilities from scratch. Any recommendations on programs, certificates, courses, books, or other similar ideas would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Any Strategy& fish willing to chat about an open healthcare role and possibly give a referral if it's a match? Got laid off last week unfortunately and would appreciate any help!

I’m a 2016 grad making $120k in a small to mid-size regional firm. I’m based in Nashville. My firm’s management is trying to survey other small to mid-size regional firms to get a feel for where the comp is now, especially in light of the big law increases that are making headlines, and to see just how far below market we may have fallen. Any additional data points from smaller regional firms (especially if you have a presence in Nashville or across the SE) would be appreciated! TIA

What is the average non-promotion raise at Deloitte? Is 5% YoY too ambitious?

I see a lot of people condemning others for being critical or harsh towards Leadership at their agency, and I want to know why? We should be holding our Leaders to the highest standards and not feel bad about it, because they do the same to us and we are the ones being laid off or passed over for promotions/raises when we don’t meet their expectations, not them. Because indirectly when we fail, oftentimes it is more of a failure of Leadership than just one individual.

Does anyone have information about the remote casesmart counsel positions at Littler? Salary range/billable hours? I’m a 6th year L&E associate at a regional big law firm looking to make a move for more flexibility, work/life balance. Not interested in partnership. The CaseSmart counsel positions almost sound too good to be true so I feel like I must be missing something...

NYC 🐠 recommendations for a good therapist? I was thinking about going to help with the transition back to life post covid (at least in the way the US is treating things), but then last night my life really turned into a life time movie so I’d love to talk it out with someone 😊
