Anyone who's done ID work right after law school but transitioned on to something else after a few years? Was your ID experience marketable? If so, in what other practice areas?

Hello all, My name is Valerie.
I was recently apart of the lay offs due to budget cuts at Microsoft and I’m looking for my next opportunity.
Any direction or guidance would be incredible! Thank you so much for your time!

An open office concept is the worst thing to happen since Donald Trump's campaign.

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅

Ugh I just signed to fix my house’s mortgage interest rate at 2,73% for 2years. Get a gut feeling this wasn’t a good deal.
Have you fixed or planning to? If yes, how many years and at what rate?

Any book recommendations on excel modeling for real world business applications?

Hi all,
I bought access to Wall Street Prep’s modeling courses to enhance my modeling skills. I find that the material is a few years old and the guy in the video explaining everything is super monotone and boring. I just don’t feel like I’m learning much.

Would anyone have any good recommendations for other modeling course providers? Should I stick with WSP? Any and all advice/responses would be helpful - Thank you in advance !

Anybody else fell uneasy after their Sloan interview? Felt like she asked me three variations of the same question expecting a different example for each which also had to be different from everything I talked about in my application 😞

What’s a failure you’ve experienced at work and how did you come back from it?

“Circumcision makes your dick look like it’s wearing a tailored suit. Circumcised is James Bond. Uncircumcised is James Out-On-Bond"

“We had complimenting genitalia.”

Some days I feel like I’ll never be able to find love because I come from a complicated childhood, have a lot of problems and, I want someone who would understand me. But I don’t think I could ever open up to another person because it feels like I’m trauma-dumping despite this being a core part of my identity and I want them to know how I lived and survived til today. I feel like a nuisance

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

My generation is really f#cked up. It's impossible to save any money. And it's not that I don't want to. Is simply because I can't do it, by the end of the month there is really not much left. I'm exhausted of working to just pay bills 😔 Sometimes I wonder if those people that quit everything to have a better life are really the smarts one.
