Any good books or suggestions to improve communication skills to speak confidently with executive or leadership. Many times I end up blabbering and having unstructured discussion.

Toastmasters really helped me to get over speaking anxiety with senior leadership. If possible attend their sessions. I found PREP (point, rationale, examples and restate the point) methodology very helpful. Start small, focus on one slide or a point you want to make, structure it appropriately. Once you get a hang of it, it will come naturally.

I am looking for the post made by the junior associate with the voicemail from the female partner on a Friday night telling her how stupid she is. I didn’t bookmark the voicemail and I wanted to show it to a colleague to show her there are worse bosses than ours. Lol. It was circulating a couple of months ago. I believe it was a New York firm.

It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

If you lateral across the Big 4, e.g. Associate to Associate, can you negotiate a higher level-grade in your offer letter (i.e. Associate 2)?
