First day in-house, virtual. What to wear for the zoom calls? Female. Blazers/jackets to be expected or a nice blouse good enough?

I was on the course with my mentor this week for a business related event. All the men continually thought we were the cart girls and asked us to fetch them things despite being in a regular golf cart and wearing our (not beverage or course) company polos. Part of me wants to just say “it was hot anyone could make that mistake!” But part of me also feels like it was sexist and, based on prior experiences, it’s hard not to feel that way. Thoughts on and advice for these situations?

Waze has been tried and true. Gets me there, warnings are reliable and routing around jams is wonderful. Just won’t go anywhere without it. Often zoom on routes my kids are taking just to be sure they are safe. Great app.

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

I didn’t think I would ever say this, but I don’t think I’m getting enough work...

I think my manager is having some trouble delegating work, as I often ask for action items in which they often respond “no”, but I will see them working on a deliverable. For context I’m the only resource below my M, yet I feel under utilized and my M is constantly working late. Should I raise the concern to my SM if I’m worried that my M may be a bottleneck?

My boss is constantly breathing down my neck to the point where I feel like I’m always wound up and unable to get anything done. We have a check in meeting next week and I want to bring it up, but at the same time I’m terrified of making things worse. Any advice on getting my point across without tainting their opinion of me?

There’s a partner in a different office that is going to give me a crappy review in December. Partner won’t let me get off the matter that I am on with him. My hours are too high and I can’t prioritize this matter.

What’s the best way to handle it? He is completely hands off and then gets pissed when stuff doesn’t get done the way he wants it. I don’t actually fully know what is going on.

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

I'm sorry to admit this on such a serious and respectable professional platform, but...I find the backgrounds on the updated ios weather app incredibly interesting and stare at them when I'm avoiding work.

A coworker (diff depts) and I realized we live in the same neighborhood after running into each other on the street. We started talking more in the office and he ended one convo with “we should get drinks sometime”. I gave him my number via slack and said to hit me up when he wants to get together. Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?

I just received feedback from an interview where I’m lacking product strategy experience, but had great product process execution experience. I’m not entirely sure what strategy means.

If we don't have any club, then we should create one. I can volunteer in preparing one.

Hi guys,
I'm lucky I landed C jobs at BCG and Bain in Doha. Please, I need your opinion on the below

1.BCG is T1 in the region while Bain doesn't seem so. Do you confirm? And the trend?

2.Interviews/negotiations went great with Bain vs BCG more acrimonious. Does my experience reflect structural cultural differences (pressure, up or out, cutthroat)?

3.What about transfers to the US-EU?

4. Type of cases

Your personal opinion: would you prioritize BCG T1 status over Bain "friendly culture"?

just like digital

Considering jumping ship from my current job. How much does Apple and Twitter pay for in-house counsel?

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.
