Anyone have any insight into white & case’s Palo alto office? Had a recruiter call me about it. I’m at another Am10 firm. Hours/culture, etc. 5th year m&a. Thanks

New movies at Delta!

Is there a mega bonus for Marriott right now? Anyone else have issue where it never comes up under promotions?

Anyone heard of HighRadius and can share any insights on culture, pay, or anything else?

How do you travel with your gym clothes? Do you bring a separate gym bag?

Any suggestions on some good business/innovation/leadership related audio books?

Is it safe to say that a SM role in tax in B4 is not a SM role in industry but more a Manager or even SA? I thought I’ve seen this in prior posts.

How difficult is it for an ex-MBB consultant (exit at Consultant/Associate) to return to consulting after spending 5-10 years in a technical role in the industry? Left on good terms. Told he was welcome to return whenever he wanted before he left.

Just got approved for a transfer to a different office in a few months. When should I let my current team members know of my move? I assume I will get new client engagements at the new office.

If you give notice on the bench are you usually shown the door? Or do they let you ride out the 2 weeks?

Any other creatives sick of being strategists?

Looming disaster once we return to travel - massive decline in productivity due to lack of second monitor

Partner told me today year end review prep that promotion to next level depends on all the people “in line in front of” me who “have been waiting longer”. I was asked if it’s fair that someone who has been in the role longer is passed over for a junior person who is younger and less tenure. Do big firms even pretend that performance and progression matters? Why work hard if all one has to do is sit and wait until the next one up?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

What does a standard/typical severance package look like? My agency had some layoffs recently and so I’m trying to be mindful.

I’m going through a heavy interview process rn (3-4 lined up). How should I go about coordinating? See if I can schedule multiple on one day or *cough* be sick

Google folks - chances that remote work is pushed beyond June 2021?

Interested in a referral to EY? Dm me and we'll talk :)

Currently in a B4 non-customer facing role doing internal strategic / tech work. I work alongside our consulting teams daily, often on the same (internal) engagements. I have an interview with another B4 firm soon for a customer-facing consulting role and there’s of course talk about sales and business development. What does that actually mean (day to day)? I worked in professional sales years ago and busted my ass cold calling, prospecting, proposals, and knocking on doors. Is it the same?

PwC Cyber advisory practice compensation for SA level? High COL city

What medical condition stops someone from wearing a mask? I know the hysterical people on film are lying and making a scene, but are there any conditions at all?

Hubs is starting to interview for senior legal roles. Hasn’t had a haircut during covid, and it’s curly and fantastic. Looks awesome. Does he need to cut it to appear “professional?” (He was laid off in April, so we’re getting anxious)

Google is it hard to get a job there? Interested in applying but almost feel like it’s way out there. How are the benefits, 401k, etc?

This is consistent with the research findings in my book "Lead From the Future". The 5-10 year horizon brings as much to see opportunities as much as threats and is the north star; need even now

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...

D-Day? Finest hour? I’m sure we’re all hearing these ridiculous references on the news to the fight on Covid and the vaccines. Sounds sacrilegious to me. This isn’t the greatest generation by a long shot. This is the generation of whom many flouted medical guidelines, put others at risk for selfish reasons. Whined about work from home. Recklessly traveled in droves over Thanksgiving. Sorry, but just an observation about the hubris that brought out the worst in too many people.

Anybody have any recommendations on how to play and practice guitar or another instrument while traveling? Literally the only good part of covid for me has been spending more time playing and while I'm excited to travel again I'll be a bit disappointed to be limited to practicing three days a week.

If you’re looking to explore a career in production, which NYC agencies are the best learning environments for a junior/assistant producer type right now? A good culture would obvs be a plus, too!

I recently got a new manager and it was someone who had worked on a project with me for a while and became a big advocate for me. We had a good professional relationship and he seemed like he really wanted to help me grow my career at the firm. I recently met up with him in person and we had drinks with other coworkers. My manager got really drunk and things got inappropriate. We are both in very serious long term relationships. I’m not even sure if he remembers what he did. Do I need a new job?

Anyone in Toronto and thinking about moving out of the city too? Food scene is still great but with so many places closed or restricted and growing popularity of remote work as a more long term thing... The benefits that used to be there, simply aren't.
