So I think part of it is to try to enjoy shared interested. For example, I don’t really enjoy basketball but I’m in a geo location that lives the sport. I catch up on games and results for the local teams just as a matter of practice development.

First advice would be to ask a lot of questions. Let people talk about what they’re interested in. If you ask questions then you can still be part of the conversation.

Second, read up on the news. Find some weird news story that would be an interesting discussion topic each week.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

What is your opinion on this topic?

Do all firms share utilization reports for all staff with everyone? I feel like it’s awful for our company culture to share everyone’s stats office-wide. Just breeds anger and bad vibes all around.

Subject matter expert with my CPA. I’m completely fed up with the compliance aspect of public accounting Tax but don’t mind the technical side. Does it make sense to become an attorney to get out of compliance work and still do something related to specialty tax?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
