Does anyone else feel compelled to buy stuff from nice people even though you don’t need it?! And if so, does the personality of the sales person matter the most in how well they do?

I started a new job last monday; this is my first corporate job after college. My senior manager ( my manager’s manager) scheduled a 1:1 with me on Friday and she expects me to have questions.
What should ask? I'm already being trained by my peers, so I don't really understand the dynamic.

I accidentally pinged my partner, "Kill Me." His response "I can't."

How do you deal with making mistakes at work? I’ve been doing good work lately but there’s one partner who thinks I’m mistake prone and I just made a mistake on something he asked me to do, but I corrected it quickly. However, there is public record of my mistake.

How do you deal with a passive aggressive supervisor who regularly points fingers and throws people under the bus?

Do you have Asians that are in the MD-level on your team? How would you describe them? I find that it’s difficult for Asians to climb high up in the corporate ladder (also read the book bamboo ceiling

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.

Is it actually safe for my manager to ask me to drive my truck in the winter? I normally wouldn't mind since I've done it before, but this particular guy just told me to "drive slow" instead of providing me with the necessary safety measures to avoid accidents.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Random question, my boss wants me to become a notary so I can handle notarizing all of the official documents myself. Has anyone else been asked to do this for their employer? Is it ethical?

Have you ever snoop through your partner’s phone without them knowing? If so, did you find anything shocking?!

I hate how my boss always goes on loooong monologue. What could take an hour of meeting turns into 3 hours.

Has anyone successfully pursued a relationship with someone they met at work? An MD I am really attracted to has been chasing me, but I am nervous about what the repercussions could be if it doesn't work out. Still, it's tempting

My friend works in-house at a national home-goods chain. Management recently told the entire design team they are barred from having portfolio websites and shouldn’t promote themselves while working for the company. They are also barred from posting work on social media, even if it’s already launched and in the public domain. This seems wholly unreasonable to me. Are demands like this common? Or enforceable?

Any thoughts on how do we deal with an incompetent boss who you dont look up to and have no trust that you would ever get credit for the work you would do for him/her? Given that changing the boss is not an option.

Good women’s brands for work jeans?

Dealing with asshole client who tried to bully me into changing our recommendations, and spineless partner who is back pedaling now given client reaction, despite pre-aligning on our view. People suck

Interviewing for a Senior Analyst role in data science & analytics in Detroit. Any idea what salary I should be asking for? Don’t want to sell myself short, but having trouble finding market value. Thanks.

Anyone listening to the podcast “Dr. Death”? Both fascinating and horrifying...

What do big four federal healthcare associates (with 2 years work experience in healthcare industry) make in the advisory practice?

Going through the interview process with the Marwood Group. Does anyone have experience working with them or have any insight into the company? This is my first time looking at a boutique healthcare consultancy.

I make $100K with 12% bonus and was offered a role $130k with 15-20% bonus. 4YOE in provider industry.

I am in a comfortable spot with a good team but the work is dull, new role would be consulting with more work & travel

I would appreciate pros/cons etc! Thank you.

How many pages is your resume/CV?

The firm has approved of my transfer to a new city. I am also exploring opportunities in industry in the new city... is it a bad look if I leave a few weeks after I transfer?

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

Thoughts on Micromass?

Have an offer to start at Deloitte in July in Org Transformation consulting. If it doesn’t get pushed out because of the virus, is it a good time to switch firms in July? Concerned that layoffs may be imminent if I am so new to the firm. I will be coming in at the Consultant level if that matters.

Should you thank your manager for your raise? Seems like a strange thing to do but also do see the appropriateness of it all. Just unsure

Thoughts on using an MBA admission counselor? What are your best recommended firms?

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭
