Bruh you absolutely have enough to upgrade yourself if you work here, you just didn’t want to lol

No, but we should recognize our privilege enough to leave points to folks who can less easily afford it. But hey, EY1, if you wanna donate stuff to folks at McK, feel free to do so. I’ll take some handouts.

Did McK change the travel policies?

That route is extremely difficult to upgrade, I wouldn’t bet on it unless there is PZ/PN availability. Even if you are number 1 on waitlist, united will likely sell off that last seat or put a crew/pilot there.

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
