Hi all, I'm wrapping up my PhD while doing a part-time IB internship. I want to ask for my internship to be extended so I can apply to other jobs (mainly consulting which recruits PhDs in late summer) while getting paid, but I'm hesitant because this sends the message "you're my backup" and may kill my chance at a full-time offer.

Does this ask sound appropriate if I want to preserve my chance at a FT offer? Any advice on how to navigate this would be much appreciated.

You don’t have to tell them your plans. Just say you like the team and need some extra bucks in your pocket and want the internship to be extended.

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?

Hi ,

Can anyone suggest about fitment round .

Motivation is key when it comes to bettering yourself, your team and your brand. Without self-motivation, you'll be less likely to inspire your team to work together to better your business. Like a muscle, self-motivation becomes stronger the more you use it. Mastering the art of self-motivation will take some time to become a habit. However, with daily practice, you'll not only better yourself and your business, you'll inspire your team to lead more meaningful personal and professional lives.
