Best men’s pants for work? Thinking about Bonobos weekday warriors or Lululemons... are any of these on sale?

Moving in 5-6 months..when do I give notice?
.
Decided to move out of state after this school year for my kids. I have a good job and a good boss. I don’t want to just drop a two weeks notice because relocating my whole family has obviously taken some time to plan. What’s a good way to be very professional and keep my work relationships in a good note.

What is the most memorable thing a client has ever said to you?

Biggest pet peeve with seniors: "remember I already told you this" or "if you go back to your notes from our call" no shit I wouldn't be asking you if I remembered from all the million other things thrown at me

How did you give your notice to your employer? In person vs email? At the end of the day? End of the week? What did you say? Did you share where you are leaving to if they ask?

The new junior on my team is from the South and refers to me as “Sir” and it’s making me feel all kinds of ways. How to proceed from here?

Any other gay male accountants in the DC area?

I’ve never dated another accountant but I guess I’m not opposed.

I feel like mentally accountants are on the same wavelength. I can always tell when I’m talking to a fellow accountant.

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

This week’s topic in our staff meetings is trauma and understanding the behavior of our students. Anyone else can’t help but take it personal when students lash out? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I've worked with the client for over 7 months now and he still calls me by my dad's name
What do I do 😭😂

Confession: I have a dirty mouth and serious swearing problem. I'm that coworker who constantly mumble swears and dirtiest words just flow off my tongue. No ones complained yet. Should I be worried?

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

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 😂.

Any particularly effective strategies to manage client asks to treat everything as a zero markup pass through?

Any thoughts on post-season moves for your team? I'm personally really pissed that the Canes are letting Niederreiter talk to other teams. He's a huge part of the team's success and I'm stunned.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

I need a laugh. Tell me about your most entitled client.

Mine called my personal cell phone on Christmas Day to ask me the status of her case while I was in the middle of watching my kids open presents. I’d just talked to her the week before and told her that the defendants had 30 days to respond.

Have you ever actually let loose on a customer? I think about it almost on a daily basis but I’ve managed to keep my cool so far

How do you distinguish between what is an anxiety thought versus your gut telling you something isn’t right?

Anyone here from NYC? We should all plan a happy hour or meetup! DC and Atlanta blacks always doing something lol

Does anyone know what a good escalation point would be for a D&I situation that I feel is not being handled in the right way? It seems like the situation is being swept under the rug since technically no “policies” were broken.

Looking to make a change and I live in Tampa. Any suggestions for firms or any help would be appreciated

I’m starting as a Manager at one of the big 4 in 3 weeks. I left my tenure track job 4 yrs ago so I’m accustomed to non-academic work but still intimidated. Advice? Will I succeed this first year?

Hey Guys, Any hackathon ideas for a fintech organisation?

Any good cos providing perman remote option ?

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue. On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?

What’s the culture like at Waystar Royco? Its an UMM fund focused on media

I have an offer from PWC India and a top Indian insurance company. How do I choose which is better?@

How's the data science team in Gurgaon? Any insights, anyone?

When your boss gives you 48 hours (clock hours not billable hours) to produce a viable objection to a MTD/compel arbitration in a complex commercial lit case, which is not my practice area, what kind of result is he expecting? From scratch, no template.

Are any other paralegals struggling with billable hour requirements? I have 5 years of experience in corporate transactions, M&A, and real estate work, and have never had billable hour requirements. I'm in a new job now where I do and I'm nowhere near meeting them. I'm getting a lot more admin work than billable work, and it's stressing me out.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

What does everyone think of the new Cartier Santos?

Please suggest to get some nice suits at London. I will be there for two weeks.

Thoughts on magnani shoes and boots?

Anyone have belt recommendations?

Recommendations on bathing suits for guys? I like the Vilebrequin / Mr. Swim style, but don't want to spend more than $50

What is your favorite dive watch around $500?

What cut of jeans/chinos are in style for men now? I’m 28 , 6’2 and thin. Have previously worn exclusive slim fit (pretty tight but not skinny jeans) but they don’t feel as comfortable or en vogue so curious what other people wear.

What’s your jacket of choice on a 30-40 degree day? I wear a parka, but that’s usually too heavy if it’s not snowing.

WEEKLY DEAL THREAD: POST LINKS TO SHOPPING DEALS HERE - March 23

Tumi Store in Mcnamara Terminal (DTW) is closing everything is 20% off.

Thoughts on men wearing double breasted blazers casually, like with jeans/trousers to a nice dinner, etc. Buttoned, or unbuttoned?

Paul Fredrick has some great summer colors for men dress shirts. Any way to grab them cheaper? Also, any other decent shirts with great “summery” colors? (Shades of orange/blue/pinks). 🙏 thanks

M here. Where can I find slim tees with a slightly longer length? Not to the extent of longline tees where it’ll go past my ass but long enough that I don’t have to worry about it turning into a crop top when I raise my arms

FYI Amex offer for Allen Edmonds. Spend $300 get $90

PSA: A shirt with a buttoned collar is not a dress shirt, please stop

Looking for a down vest that’s slim enough to fit under a blazer or top coat, but warm enough for temps at or around freezing. Just looking to layer without looking puffed up.

Recommendations on slim fit denim shirts. Not for the office of course but I feel like it’s a staple I need in my wardrobe.

What are the best sales going on right now? I see Brooks Brothers 50% off, Allen Edmonds 30% off, Jacadi 35% off (lol), marine layer 24% off, Bloomingdales 25% off...

Any real good ones I’m missing?
