Don't know if it's time to elevate my pitching skills or if it's the lack of quality on the ideas itself but off late, our clients aren't too happy with the creative concepts we're presenting. Have you been in this situation before? What changes did you make to get over the hump?

First year analyst here... my manager often asks me to buy coffee for her and never pays me back. What should I do?

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Very new to EY so sorry if it’s a dumb question but why is it suggested that you should never work directly with your counselor (as your acting engagement manager)?

Having multiple offers in hand how to say nicely that I'm not going to join to other companies formally. What would be the best way?

Also please share what you'll write in mail while rejecting formally. It'll be really helpful.

How much do you share with your coworkers? I never really share much of my personal life with coworkers, but my team shares a lot about themselves & their family. I usually ask about their lives, deflecting the question. Is this weird? Am I being too cautious?

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

I have seen that Some people are seriously demeaning Publicis Sapient looks like they have a personal grudge. I would suggest to connect with your HR and manager in PS or look for right people on LinkedIn.
