Leverage your firm.

In addition to opportunities to network at your firm, you could look at some of the junior boards - Shedd Aquarium, Orchestra, Children's Hospital, Opera, Lincoln Park Zoo, MetroBoard (Urban League), etc.

If you're a young professional they often have mixers so that's a good opportunity to see who is actually in the crowd and if it makes sense to try to join depending on your interests and networking goals.

If you're a woman, Junior League is also good to look into.

I've gotten the Deloitte D launch orientation survey. Me start date is on the 16th (less than 2 weeks).

I need to put in my 2 week notice and all my recuiter has said is I can push your start date out. Has anyone been thru this ? Does getting the D launch orientation email imply everything is good with background/employment checks

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences.

However, if this is you, and your equity position was initiated off a whim or a blind recommendation, I struggle to feel any sympathy lol especially if you were someone buying stocks (MGNI for example) when they were approaching ATH
