Prospect. Went to his house and there was porn everywhere. I can handle porn, but this was weird shit like a topless Strawberry Shortcake riding He-man's cat.

Dude gets up to pee and leaves the bathroom door open and in plain sight of where I was sitting.

Walks out of the bathroom in his Grandpa George from Charlie and the Chocolate factory robe, stands directly in front of the window so the light passes through the worn-thin material giving me a full shadow-view of his dangling bits.

Did not call for a second meeting.

Hauled a client around to run errands after an appointment at his home. Long story but he told me that his doctor wouldn’t allow him to drive and all he needed was a quick trip to the grocery store....and that turned into the library, the drug store and the animal shelter to make a donation. 2 hours in total. 👍 All in a day’s work!!

Before I came to EJ, I was an independent insurance agent. I had an appointment at a prospect’s house and we had never met in person. He had a gun on the table for the entire appointment because he didn’t know what to expect. He ended up becoming a good client though

So, what would you guys say are the Pros and Cons of being a Project Manager. Asking for a friend.

As a junior associate, how do you find the healthy balance to take initiative in matters as opposed to wasting billable time on something the client won’t pay for or the partner might not actually want?

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.

Thank you.

Ok, using excel is not a primary function for my role (this will be very obvious shortly...) So please be kind! On my sheet, in the first and third columns, I have lists of reference numbers. In the second column I have a client name. I already identified the duplicates in the first and third columns using conditional formatting.What I need to find now is column 2 value, whenever value in column 3 is identified as duplicate. Problem is, I have over 120k rows of data so I can't filter! Help!

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
