Had anyone heard of this guy? The superintendent of a school district in Iowa is apparently a former Olympic athlete who would race against students while wearing a suit and bow tie. That’s kind of awesome.

Anyway, he was just arrested by ICE as part of our country’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

What exactly does a "Knowledge Attorney" do at firms that have them? My firm doesn't have such a thing, so I'm not sure if it's an opportunity worth pursuing or not. I'm definitely not interested if it's comparable to the Conflict Attorney role which is essentially dead end.

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.

Hello everybody
looking for jobs in IT
I have over 20 years of experience. As a 3d designer, Field Technician, HelpDesk, Network Infrastructure and in the last 4 years as a QA Tester.

So, what’s going on this weekend, fishies?

Soliciting ideas for a big closing lunch with clients - near or close to bryant park, my first pick was Gabriel Kreuther but they only do Thurs/Fri lunches (ours would be Tues). Ideas for upscale restaurants appropriate for corporate clients? They said “anything but steak” ha.

Is it easier to go from McK to BCG or Deloitte to BCG? If one is easier, how much easier? And do BCG recruiters ever poach from McK or is that a big no-no?

Is it possible for someone with anxiety to have a career at MBB? Anyone currently in this situation? How do you cope?

I need 11 likes to unlock DM. Please help.

This platform has serious bug... Something fishy in it... Someday they may released buggy app and reveal our identity...

Does Labs India match offer(Software Engineering). Already working in labs since a year. Got 2 diff offer's from faang's.

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

AE: I need to take off this afternoon to the attend my grandmother’s funeral.
Owner: Why? She’ll be dead tomorrow too.

“Fuck it I’m going to PDF this bitch"

Is there any good reason to take a 10+ minute call in a bathroom stall at work? Noticing people doing this as RTO ramps up and I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t go outside or at least in your car.

“– Pick one: purple or blue.

– I can’t do this, this is way too complicated.”

Joined a call to hear “how’s my sql replication looking? Yeah,!I’m good.)

"There's no whining in baseball!", said very seriously and earnestly ..... to the office dog.

From a UX Director... “Design is everything. You’re nothing without design.” Excuse me?

Alright, Fishbowl - whats the juiciest gossip you heard this week at work?

I’m starting at VMLY&R on account side and was asked if I want a PC or Mac. Not trying to be the odd one out - what do most account folks have?

“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

“There are so many layers of Daddy. Book coming soon. How to get one, how to be one, how to keep one!”

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

“The shaft is not always welcome, but but hole always is.”

I don’t have a horse in this fight

“Just came back from Hawaii, it was beautiful. Lots of good wine”-MD.
Tired analysts: 😒😒

“Isn’t meth, like, so early 2000’s? Does anyone do that anymore?”

"We hear your responses to our anonymous pulse survey, and we understand you all overwhelmingly think our team structure org needs to change. We understand it's not necessarily working well—but here's why we're NOT going to change it."
Why ask us if you really don't care?

Can anyone send me invites/codes to the EY and KPMG bowls?
