About dresscodes... In an industry where first impressions and professionalism are paramount, I’ve often felt pressured to don a certain style—typically more conservative—to be taken seriously. Remembering a conference where my choice of a bright-colored suit sparked unsolicited advice on ‘appropriate attire’ really underscores the challenge. How do you handle the professional dress code in your finance role? Have you ever felt compelled to adjust your wardrobe to fit in or gain respect?

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

Do you drink or do anything wild at company holiday parties or events? I feel like as one of the only minority associates I have to be extra careful to stay professional. All my white coworkers can talk about is the open bar and how crazy everyone gets...true or false for your company?

we've got a new hire who wears dress clothes to the office on saturdays. fuckin weirdo

Hello, what dress clothes do you wear to work?

For those that are home grown (at least 2 levels) into the PPMD level, how has your relationship with juniors that you’ve been close to from the start evolved? Have you had to pull away from them (intentionally or not) or are you just as close? Is the saying “it’s lonely at the top” rung true for you?

Doing those mid year peer/self review kills all time that would be better spent pretending to help my clients

I think I’m about to get my first experience of getting in trouble with a partner for work that I actually already sent for review and followed up on multiple times (and brought up during calls). Stay tuned… 😑

Hi all. I’m a new hire as an associate tech consultant, been here for ~2 weeks.

This week, I’ll be meeting my senior manager (who is also my counsellor) in a 1:1 virtual session. Any tips on specific questions I should ask? I’m meeting him for the first time and thought I might want to learn a lot from him!

Thanks :D

Confronting colleagues? Yes or no ? On a side note, any book recommendations for handling workplace situations

Why is that instead of having accountability for things that aren’t fair, women resort to calling men incels

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

The principal on my team in the course of conversation was saying how I could pass for straight. And how others can’t. In front of the team I manage.

Should I be weirded out by that?

How do you deal with working on a brand that you're new on and all the past work has been awful but you're forced to continue on with the look/feel/tone of?

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Comment the weirdest workplace romance story you've witnessed.

For those that transferred internally from Audit —-> TAS, how did you talk to your partner about making the move? Just talked to mine and he seemed pretty upset. Our business is understaffed and I am considered a “high” performer. Just wondering if this should have been generally expected/your experiences were the same.

Any thoughts on how do we deal with an incompetent boss who you dont look up to and have no trust that you would ever get credit for the work you would do for him/her? Given that changing the boss is not an option.

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Hi , After submitting the document when I can expect the HR round for salary discussion?

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

How many reqs do your tech recruiters carry?

Are they supported by a team of sourcers?

How large are each of those teams compared to your volume of hiring? What metrics do you use?

Currently working at a large recruiting company and am doing well, but feel like my company is full of psycopaths and the bonus structure borders on theft. Thinking of going solo as a recruiter - does anyone have any experiences to share regarding possible non-competes after quitting and/or experience of going solo? Thanks!
