How do you deal with an associate who doesn't respect your authority?

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

What are some good books to read if I want to learn how to better show up for the team as a manager?

How do you like to get feedback from your cd? Is it helpful if they riff off a couple headlines as examples or would you rather just hear the feedback on yours?

I hate when you ask senior associates a question regarding an assignment they’ve assigned and you receive attitude-reply to the email vaguely without even addressing the email (example: “just complete the assigned, don’t worry about that”). Especially when the question/issue being ask is an important part of the assignment. It almost feels like I’m a bother for asking even though the associate(when assigning) said “feel free to ask any questions you may have while working on the assigned tasks”

I have an interview tomorrow at a mid sized firm. What are some questions you wish you asked your current firm? I’m moving from another firm that I thought would be a good fit but turned out to be shitty so I want to scope out red flags early if possible.

My coworker always looks me intensely in the eyes when he speaks. I guess he does it to everyone but I'm the only one that seems to react to it. I always come off so submissive and sheepish when he does it. I feel like he notices and does it more now.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

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.

Anyone’s partner do something that was blatantly against firm policy and asked you to go along with it?

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

Speaking to a lot of headhunters right now for on-cycle and wanted a description of Distressed PE vs Distressed HFs since all of their preference forms list them as separate. Is it just distressed for control vs anything else

Do you find that most customers you deal with are polite? I've noticed a lot of them don't even say "thank you" after I have fixed their problem... it's disheartening

So today my client manager came to know about my resignation, one month before NP ends

She said - hope it's a good move good luck

Is she being sarcastic ?

How do you deal with a mid level who bosses you around and takes credit for your work? A mid level recently wormed their way onto a matter I’ve been helping a partner with for several months and has suddenly made it miserable (I’m a junior).

What’s your relationship like with your direct manager?

I always feel like I set up a mental block/boundary with mine. I get along well with almost everyone but get kinda awkward around my boss.

What to do when your peer asks you to do his job for him?

Managing Partner encourages everyone to speak up and offer their opinions.. Yet, when you do, it better align with his or else you’re flat out wrong or ridiculous 🙄

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

I need some interview tips, I have a virtual interview for another HR Manager position at a much larger company, in the email it said to dress for the position you are interviewing for. At my current company we are very casual Friday all week long as we are in the Non-Profit Arts Entertainment industry. Any suggestions would be appropriated.

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?

Any stories of what happened AFTER you had to back out of some work because you were getting overwhelmed with what’s on your plate? I had to tell a partner I couldn’t help him with a training after initially agreeing because I was worn thin between two different deals. I’m fairly new to the firm so am a little concerned this is going to affect me reputationally, but figured it was better than blowing a client-related deadline. Fwiw he was nice about it and his training I think went fine.

Any suggestions on companies to apply to ?

I’m looking for advice on career path. I’m interested in becoming an advisor (studying for CFP) coming from 3 years in hybrid FP analyst and paraplanner role. My team is located in CA and merged with a larger WA practice (both Ameriprise), however I live in Mass. Is it realistic to be a fully remote FA? Time zone not an issue. I really like my company and team, and there are FAs looking to give clients. I know I can find another practice in MA but I’d prefer to stay with my company. Thoughts?

In a perfect world...or your current world....what would your niche be? If you could spend all of your marketing, prospecting and advising time with one group, who would it be?

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
