Sullivan Discussions

Went to the left-most line at ORD United PreCheck. Rookie mistake. Rookie mistake. When will I learn?!

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Anyone play of games here? Some overwatch or HOTS? I'm a gamer nerd

What is it with millennials and short dress pants.

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Interviewing for jobs, are there any issues on talking about past deals or clients you’ve had? Currently in MM/Corp. banking. I know many of the big IBD deals are published but not at my level

How do you respond to a rejection email from a company you would really like to work for?

My bank makes you fill out a form if you want to work in the office for each individual day. It’s largely empty from what I hear. What are the risks if I were to go in and “borrow” an office chair for my new apt? How about a monitor?

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

I'm wondering how late tonight will be. Midnight again? 😒

I just returned from maternity leave and I’m having a hard time getting back on the road. Any tips?

Conflicts checks question: thinking about making a move from small(ish) firm to a larger one. How detailed will a conflicts list need to be? Haven’t switched jobs since law school, so at a little bit of a loss about the whole process!

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

Is there any group of people interested in playing poker on weekend. Obviously not with real money XD.

Is Facebook doing enough to stop the spread of fake news?

FWA - worth it or not? Also, would you mind sharing what your current arrangement is or what you’ve tried in the past and what worked/didn’t work?

Is it a bad idea to commute to work on the subway? Moving to Nyc in July and a little intimidated by the idea, given what’s in the news lately, but the rent within walking distance from work is a little below 1/2 monthly salary🥲

Hey Londoners! I’m about to move to London and hunting for a place to live (on a mid-level salary).
Could you please share how much rent do you currently pay and where do you live (area/no. of rooms)?

I was hoping to live alone but everything seems over the top expensive

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

Anyone here transitioned into a staff accountant role (reconciling differences, end of month balances, JE, etc). Is it better than tax in terms of work/life balance and how is the work?

Just saw this quote from the Minari movie ads and it kinda reminded me of being in BigLaw:
“Minari grows: It comes in the pockets of immigrants, dies in the first year, thrives in the second, and purifies the water and the soil around it.”

H1B for Brazilians is capped to 2 years due to reciprocity. Does that mean we get another renewal chance or are we only up for 4 years total?

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
