This question surprisingly pops up a lot on this forum...but from what I can tell, people don't care what you look like. They care about your attitude and if you're a hard worker or able to pick up things quickly.

All the time. I kick unattractive people off my jobs on the reg - only give work to attractive people. Performance doesn't matter - I'd rather make my life awful working with some incapable of completing a task correctly than have to sit in the same room as somebody that's unattractive. 🙄

No I'm attracted to people who after completing an assignment ask for more work instead of packing up and going home or twiddling their thumbs until I ask them to do something.

Still attractive people have a better chance of being successful. Of course no one picks a low performing person over a high performing one. However when both are equal in performance- of course the pretty one gets picked. Are you all that naïve?

Should the question be, "do attractive women get more opportunities to work on projects that accelerate their career progression?" But really, we are in public accounting.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

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.
