Advice needed: New to the firm and they asked me to make an “about me” slide to present on the team zoom meeting. I did to this but my roommate must have changed my fun fact when I was away from my laptop. I didn’t read it obviously but everyone read it. Anyway, it was embarrassing and I think I should probably just quit and try applying elsewhere. No, I have not forgiven my roommate.

What was the fun fact?

I'm sure they'll forget it honestly, no need to leave.

What was the fact?! Unless it was something racist/ sexist, you’re totally fine

Trust me, we've all been there at some point (or will). I was once presenting and forgot I left my email open. Wife sends a very naughty email where the subject and preview popped on my very visible screen projected to the entire c suite. Own it, make it part of your lore, and you will go further than you expect on it.

See above? I still don’t see what your roommate wrote.

Don’t worry op, make a joke about it, and be light. We have all had many embarrassing moments. It’s fine remember we are all just humans :)

Will have to take our security training ASAP on how to lock my computer, to keep my roommate from editing my decks. (It’s all in the delivery)

Unless it was offensive, people will probably forget about it pretty quickly. You can always play it off as “sometimes I put jokes in my drafts to calm my nerves, forgot to remove.” It’s dumb but whatever.

For your roommate — what the heck? Who messes with work product? That’s a huge boundary. F that guy / gal

Give yourself two
Weeks
And you'll probably realize no one remembers or cares

Director interview after super day?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
