Has anyone heard of The Next Step program at Dartmouth’s Tuck school of business? I’ve been Encouraged to apply

Currently applying to federal clerkships. Is there an average amount of time before you hear back (if selected)? Also, is it proper to call to confirm receipt of submitted apps outside of OSCAR?

I have just got an options trader job at a prop trading firm. But I knew nothing about options/trading/finance. The firms said they’ll be officially training us once we start. But in the meantime, what are some books/resources that you would recommend to start learning first?

Asking for my partner, thoughts on living in Arlington vs Alexandria for McKinsey DC? Any good apartment leads are appreciated!

I've noticed that the engineers keep their mouths shut whenever they're asked for feedback, but when they're alone, they talk about how much they wish they could change management.

Why is that?

I work in quant and rely on our company’s database for everydays task, but couldn’t get any support from the company’s tech/data team. It’s been such a struggle. Everyday im fighting with red tapes and firewalls. :(

Anyone have feedback on in house attorney positions with Mercury Insurance?

Is anyone available to critique my resume? Trying to get a PM job with only a CompTIA+ certificate.

Do you think remote hires are less safe when layoffs come or is that an old school mentality?

I’m starting MBA night classes soon. I know it’ll pay off but I’m getting exhausted just thinking about having no real downtime. Any tips for balancing night classes with a day job?

27M and new to the area. Let’s be friends 🤝🏾

Happy 2017 everyone!! How's everyone feeling?

Something you do that's outside the norm of coworkers / finance crowd. Ex: buy inexpensive underwear, listen to heavy metal, stay-cations, eat Popeye's regularly, tattoos

Did anyone have a hard time transitioning into a full-time job/adulthood after college?

Anyone has a promo code to the “Lose it” app?

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Curious what % of partners/MDs have spouses who also work. And regardless of non/working spouse, what do you do to feel a work/family balance?
