Hey ladies! My company is holding a 2-day off site (no details yet on plans). The weather is hot- like 90 or so. Any thoughts on what to wear? The company culture is very tech/start up so I’m thinking simple summer dresses? There is no way I will be getting in a bathing suit in front of people I work with. That feels so weird to me!!

First - are you inside or outside? If inside, bring sweaters / casual jacket as that AC is strong. I love dresses so I’d vote casual dresses (nothing too low cut or too far above the knee or with spaghetti straps). If you have some sort of outdoor activity for bonding, I’d go with some long shorts and a tshirt and converse sneaks or bandanna or something to make it fun and casual. Not Jean shorts and again nothing too tight or short so you can comfortably participate.

Thank you!

Or you could do a flowy maxi dress...there are some nice variations....from bohemian to contemporary. I prefer a good wrap and those vary as well.

You can find a lot of good dresses at athleta that are a performance material but still look work appropriate / not athleisure. Some shorts / or skorts even, paired with a cute work tank. I’d go that route, bc I sweat excessively and do not feel comfortable in shorts. Depending on culture though, if athleisure is appropriate you could do a outdoor voices dress and layer a tank on top. They are somewhat longer (imo). Also, I’ve been to work and family outings where women wore athletic skort and tank in pool as their normal MO. needless to say, 90 is hot so do what will allow you to be comfortable and confident!

You rock! TY!

Hello all - currently evaluating an offer for IT strategy senior consultant out of London. Would like to hear about culture and any exit opps that have come across.

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
