What is M27 level in HPE?

There is a partner in our office that routinely discusses associate performance with other associates. For example, she will tell Associate A that Associate B isn’t performing and/or hitting hours, etc. Recently, I learned that she has been discussing “issues” she had with my work product two years ago (I no longer do any work for her). Is this something I should bring up? It bothers me that she is talking about me to others.

I recently finished undergrad and I’m waiting on secret clearance that I applied for in February 2018. I know my application will take long bc of foreign relatives, but how long is too long to wait?

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Hey fellow fishbowlers! Looking for some feedback. Possibly moving to Chevy Chase, MD as a PM for CBRE. Any idea on cost of living for one person there?

Looking for advice on dealing with a boss who is extremely difficult to work for. For example, my colleague has worked entirely remotely since COVID hit in March. She had planned to make 2 trips out to her family out of state during the holidays (for Thanksgiving & Christmas) but recently requested to stay during the interim, when it looked like her apartment might be under voluntary evacuation due to wildfires. Said colleague lives alone and found it beneficial to be around family (cont below)

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

You guys know about AI trading system? It’s actually the most efficient way to trade right now. Everyone in it is actually making over $1500 — $2000 weekly

My manager consistently makes condescending remarks about my work even though I’m overworked and prioritize what is urgent. I regularly work 12-13+ hours a day but never receive any confirmation or recognition that I’m doing a good job and there is always something to criticise.
How should I approach speaking to my manager about this toxic environment?
I’m the only woman on my team and have noticed my manager does not speak to my male colleagues with the same tone

Hi Ladies!

I am a current IB analyst at a BB in an industry coverage group. Have been thinking of recruiting to PE but don’t know where and how to start. Any advice? Also, is there a way we could share our prep resources and materials here?

Thank you in advance!

Hey all, what’s your opinion on providing 2 Week notice? Do you think it’s still standard or depends on the situation.

I recently received my start date for a new job, and am happy to be leaving my current situation- it is a very hostile environment. I’m debating whether to give a week or two week notice.

Anyone else feel like they’re not right for the corporate world? It’s not my personality to let my manager know of everything I’m working on - I’m heads down and I get the job done and only bring him in if I need help. However, I’m now learning that this is hurting me because my more vocal colleagues are being recognized for tasks I already do. I just hate these corporate games. Why isn’t it enough to just do the work well?

What are some of the things you guys do while listening to audio books?

Has being more assertive ever backfired on you? I'm naturally more reserved and am trying to work on this without coming across as a bitch. Any tips?

I quit my job at a bank call center (MF dealer) didn’t give out a 2 weeks. I’m finishing up my licenses and school starts in 2 weeks. I’m 22 with 3 years of banking experience, 1.5 years of investment associate experience. Do you think that leaving without giving a notice will follow me in the future? It’s a call center, and I was not able to control my schedule so we always got it 2-3 weeks in advance but couldn’t plan ahead. Will school/scheduling be a good excuse if my next employer asks?

Happy Friday everyone!! What are your weekend plans?

Would you say this was unprofessional, or would you have done the same? I was called out to present on a call mon night on which I got humiliated with questions: such as why are you telling us this, what even is this that you are sharing, kept getting cut off to explain myself. I was of course the only woman in the meeting. I literally cried after that’s how awful I felt. So today, similar call was scheduled, I just rejected, said I had something urgent come up and didn’t go.

Does anyone have any tips on dealing with someone above you who is a poor leader and likes to create more work than necessary out of ANY simple task? She’s 36, single, no kids. HELP PLZ.

Did anyone see the post in the Work-Life bowl posted by the analyst? Saying that he(26M) was scared to be judged at corporate events for his gfs(19F!!!) hair color & tattoos? If you didn’t, please check out the comments. And then remember that these are men in the financial industry, that could very well be your coworkers. The grooming. The objectification. I am disgusted, but not surprised.

Hi folks! What’s the best way to do a #resignation around the holidays, AND when you can’t do the standard two weeks because the start date is close to the end of the two-week mark. (I would like a few days to myself and my mental peace.) there aren’t that many females in my firm.
Feel free to DM if you’d like to share your input 🙂

My company will be doing holiday party this year! It’s been three years since I went to a legit holiday party 🤣 I have been spoiled by past parties at the wardolf Astoria or tavern on the green and my last employer had really bad parties - think crappy dinner at a chain restaurant or white elephant exchange in the office. I am not making sense …

so I just had my quarterly feedback meeting w my boss and my negative feedback was that I never turn my camera on so it comes across like I’m unprepared.... it was partially due to circumstance but also in part because I’m insecure about being seen as less than without makeup and professional clothes..thoughts?

From perspective how much does a typical senior government contracts administrator make? Offer was presented as 115k base location in VA from Lockheed Martin - friend has plenty of experience and a secret clearance.
