Does your firm have a "casual Friday" or something by another name? I wasn't expecting it and don't really know how/what casual is supposed to be. My old job was smaller and business/professional all week. What would you recommend? F/28

Sometimes I wear jeans, or comfy slacks with a low heel. I think if the sneakers aren't super beat up or anything it should be fine.

I would agree. I’ve worked at a couple of firms and jeans are okay to the extent they aren’t frayed. Khakis are widely accepted.

Depends on the company. Some ppl take it a bit far. I would go semi-casual for the first week. Then adjust after based on what my peers are wearing.

Yes prior to the pandemic our office was more casual on Fridays. That said, it really only meant that you could wear jeans and a polo (only if they were nice). Now it's "dress for your day"... so business if seeing clients. Business casual if not.

I'm a guy though, so our standard is probably a lot lower (sadly).

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

Hey all - 2 years in consulting so far as a fairly "type b" personality - relaxed, uncompetitive, enjoy socializing with my colleagues. To be clear, this is not the same as being lazy or irresponsible - I am diligent and do my work well.

Nonetheless I think we can generally say finance/professional services etc. reward "type a" habitudes on its face.

Thought it could be fun/funny/supportive to share experiences as the chiller brains in these anxiety-fueled fields.

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
