Have an interview with a company I did a short project for. Is there any reason I shouldn’t reference that project in the interview? Legal? Otherwise?

Yes, with a small caveat. Some projects, that are more sensitive, not everyone is in the loop on, etc. I wouldn’t reference the specific project in that case.

You can always sneak it in too. If they ask what interested you about the org you can comment on how you enjoyed the culture, camaraderie, etc. when you were supporting a project there

I would unless it was a secret project that you aren’t permitted to mention.

I would not mention. The projects we work on are highly sensitive and could reveal future strategies that are 3-5 years down the line. It could wrongfully imply initiatives that employees at the company are unaware of or not expecting. The projects we’re working on are the most strategic and visionary with several cross functional implications.

Stuck on a tech implementation for 18 months now. Part of me wants to quit my job, but a big reason I am anxious to do so is how pivotal my knowledge and experience is to the success of the project.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
