But is he wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Need help from the Hivemind. I am a rising 4th year who has only been at my firm for a little over a year (after a few clerkships). I like my firm well enough, and the partners I work with like me a lot, but I’ve learned that Biglaw is not the life for me and want to get out ASAP. I’m applying to a Fed agency that I’m really excited about, but the application requires a reference from your current supervisor. I haven’t told the firm I’m thinking about leaving. How would you handle this?

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company. I closed it but it was up long enough for them to see it. Now they both pretend like they saw nothing and I felt panic for some reason. How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?

They should really poll the associates to seed ideas for holiday party locations...

Loving the Knekkerbrod, a Norwegian wholegrain crispbread that I recently found at Costco.

Is this what my 30s are going to be like? Excited about new Costco finds? Not that I'm complaining :)

How many deals (M&A) is appropriate for a first year attorney? I'm wondering if I should be challenged more and worried I'm not excelling enough. I don't like having idle time, and feel like I grow more effectively with ongoing challenges. Not experiencing that now

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

Got so comfortable with being on my own that I really think I will die alone.

In your opinion, which top firms offer the most support for Black accountants?

If you owned your own firm, what would you do to improve staff retention for Black employees?

How far into your career did it take before working at a place that had black people in leadership positions? I have yet and it's making it hard on me to seek out mentors or even friends

How did everyone do in their exams?

To those involved with business development and sales, how has your network helped you in achieving sales targets? And in this case network means your black people network.

Anyone here ever got their Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)? How was the process and is it worth it?

Anyone in transactions advisory at Deloitte, KPMG, PWC or Valuation at Duff & Phelps? Would like to understand the culture there. EY is not working for me.

Does any one feel way behind the curve and wish they had mentors in accounting to speak to on a family level that you can trust and know they really want you to succeed?

Just had someone reach out asking me to run for a seat on the school board.

What have you heard or what do you think about such opportunities, particularly when the day job eats up so much time?

Anybody work in ethics and compliance? If so, what’s your current role and previous experience? I’m curious what my career path could look like in this area. I previously was in public accounting

I’ve been lurking at the net worth/savings posts on here. I started out negative and am still negative and working on it. Is it common amongst minorities or just me? My folks couldn’t help.
