How do I tell my manager I'm leaving the firm? First time quitting a job and I don't know the etiquette. I assume a Zoom is better than an email. Do I tell him where I'm going and why? Do I tell other people too or let him do it? Any important details to take care of?

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

Manager asked me to give him formal upward feedback. Everyone in the firm hates him. Let loose the cannons or diplomacy?

Just switched to advisory and working directly with a talented SM time to time. How can I show humble but also not acting like know nothing? (Say you have related work experience and did some hw...)

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!

Is Proper Cloth worth it for work shirts? Any other made to measure shirt tailors you’d recommend?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

Ladies, where do you shop for versatile work outfits?

Have you ever been told "I don't see you like that" when you refer to yourself as a POC/minority? How do you respond?

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

Thoughts on Jos A Banks suits and general button-up office wear?

It appears J Crew is filing bankruptcy this weekend and brooks bros might not be too far behind. What are consultants going to wear when we eventually get back to work??

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

Out of curiosity and to see how we all compare to one another, what are people seeing as raise changes from Senior 1 to Senior 2? I want to see if an 8% raise is fair or poor

I am going way over budget but 1. Even s seniors have admitted some unique circumstances have happened and 2. I’m working like insane hours 3. I’m trying - I can tell by tone management is not happy with me. I’m legit trying the best I can ....

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

Hi everyone, soon to have an interview for a designer role...
Does anyone have an idea what's the typical salary for an experienced graphic designer/business presentation designer in Switzerland?

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

Anyone have specific financial goals they're willing to share and how to get there? I'm 30 yo, l10 and $$ gives me anxiety. Currently making ~$95k with $30k in brokerage and $30k 401k. Or, tips for not stressing out that I'll be broke in retirement? Should I make a lateral move out at some point and target a $250k salary by X age?

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Men, what brand/style do you wear for a light jacket? The type you might want to wear if it's high 40s/low 50s in the morning and you're going to the office

Any idea why EY is not on the list of Vault 50 top consulting firms but it is on the prestigious list?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

So apparently accenture is making people who are on the bench enroll into a mandatory customer service role even if you’re 100% utilized. Friend took 3 weeks of PTO and has been on the bench for a few days and he is being forced. Worst part? It’s Tues-Saturday.

Do you guys have Any good books on business? Not those self help books

Woke up early to get some work done but decided to go back to bed. I am sure it can wait.

Hotel rooms are so dry, it's driving me crazy

MBB folks, do you and your coworkers even consider Big 4 people management consultants? Trying to gauge the general consensus.
