Do y’all think this email is a little spicy? It came 10 mins after declining so seems to be an auto-response.

It’s a little too direct for my taste, but overall it’s okay. Kinda the opposite of “sorry it’s me, not you” 😂😂

Also my rating on the visit was “slightly dissatisfied” and I just commented that I wish there were night events or instructions on what to do given I had no idea what there was in Hanover and got bored

Hanover is in nowhere so regardless this response came out of nowhere

Had someone lateral into our firm as a fifth year (soon to be sixth). They were kind of a retool and went from small law to the firm I’m at. They are still learning a lot of basic stuff, and I think it’s weird that the firm hired someone at that level as a retool. They sometimes ask me for help with stuff, but I’m just getting annoyed at this point. Can I just say “no” since they’re about to be a mid/senior associate who should know all of this?

Hey Amazon 🐠

Would love to get an opinion regarding flexibility for working parents at Amazon. I’ve heard quite a bit of negativity about working at Amazon, but wanted to get a broader perspective particularly about work-life balance for Sr Tech Product Mgr roles. I understand this is team dependent but the more insight/opinions I hear certainly helps.

Thanks!

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc).
