Do you think finance mainly consists of professionals who consider themselves “elitist”? Some of my coworkers seem to stick their nose up at others because of their title, where they went to school, and who their parents are. It’s a major turnoff for me.

Have a really good relationship with current company, but got an amazing offer and very likely gonna leave (signed the offer, waiting for all the background checks to come back). How do you tell your boss you are leaving the company (if boss is not a dick lol) and not ruin relationship?

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

I’m a third year associate who is planning on putting in my two weeks on Friday... accepted a job at a regional firm in the same LoS. Should I hand a physical letter of resignation to my lead partner?

Am an executive assistant and There is one executive I support who is very annoying. He doesn't behave this way with backup admin assistants when am out of the office

How do you deal or work with such people?

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

How do you deal with a challenger type of personality? I’m fairly new and I know the senior is trying to teach me the thought process. But she also makes me feel extremely small by the way she phrases her questions. I’m already stressed out not having everything figured out yet and this makes me feel super tense and down.

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

My direct report is fresh out of college. Tons of talent but is showing to be pretty cocky. They are overconfident about their place in the ecosystem of the office, ask inappropriate questions, CONTD

I’m in a committed relationship and have realized I developed an elementary school level crush on a coworker. How do I kill the crush and maintain the friendship?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

Colleague passed my work on as his, how to handle this gracefully ?

Any suggestions for women's shoes that I can wear for the walk in in winter and not have to change at work?

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

I’m starting to work in the IB division in NYC soon. Was wondering what’s the dress code in the office. Would Business casual be fine?

What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

Has anyone had a manager they just don’t vibe with/relate to? I’ve been trying to connect but I haven’t gotten them on my side yet. How did you manage to crack the ice?

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

Best deal sourcing database? Is pitchbook the best? Other comparables? Private companies but could also include public. Range of industries preferred, but definitely inclusive of tech services companies, solutions/products, too.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

I’m seriously considering eating dinner at 5:30pm. Does that mean I’m officially old??

Hi everyone, I am working towards a career shift into management consulting, specialising in Strategy & Restructuring services to be specific. I am looking for a referral to a T2 firm within the Middle East if possible. Would love to connect, learn from your experience and take your advice on how to successfully land a role in the industry! (Currently based in Dubai)

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you

I don’t like Chicago. It seems that I will have to move to Chicago in the fall. How do I survive this
