Genuine question, why are so many people hung up on prestige? I value, in no particular order, my team, my work, my growth potential, my compensation, and what the firm does to be a conscientious actor. My worth cannot be measured based on arbitrary societal hierarchy. We need all kinds of people doing all kinds of things to make the world turn.

Because the 1% direct their minions to care about everything but your incredibly ethical and commendable values (no snark intended). Your clients have bosses…and partners know that they’re talking to management and not owners.

Genuine question, [soapboxing about how everyone else has messed up priorities but I'm really cool and grounded]

I can see that

This post comes off incredibly condescending. Everyone has different priorities. What you consider arbitrary societal hierarchy might be priorities someone else was raised with.

Hi all,
I am at Big4 UK (London). Recently, I started to suspect myself to have Asperger’s. I haven’t seen a doctor yet and I haven’t been officially diagnosed. I was always understanding that something is not “normal” with me but I didn’t know about Asperger’s. Let’s assume I go to a doctor and officially been diagnosed. What are the pros/cons to disclose it to my employer? Can they fire me because of this? I am on visa in this country. That’s why don’t want to risk it at all. Thanks for help!

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients.
