Dear Partners: I am a T2 manager. Recently received feedback that my consulting toolkit, structuring and problem-solving etc. is good but need to bring SWAG/ X-factor into the communication. Ready to learn and transform but don't know how to improve. I am from a non-English speaking country and need some solid guidance on how to improve on this aspect.

Reposting this here from the compensation bowl a week back. I’m deep into the interview process at Apple and have managed to deflect salary expectations until now. This is for a PM role on their data product ops group. I have 6 yoe. Is 180-200k a fair base to ask for? I believe this would be for an ICT4 role. TIA

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work
