How do you deal with someone who wants to control everything that you do - email text, your work and imposing their work approach on you.

Have an open conversation on what it is they are not happy with and figure out if their points have merit. If so, then be open to coaching and growing. For things of personal preference, try to draw the line somewhere reasonable where you and the lead can align on. I imagine it’s a mix of both.

Are they your lead?

Yep!

If they are your lead, they are supposed to delegate tasks to you and coach you. You may not be aware of your own development needs. It’s also possibly they are over micro managing and knit picking, but based on the fact you take issue with your lead assigning you work, it sounds like you aren’t aware of how things work and what may need development.

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.

Joined a well-regarded ID/MedMal Defense firm (50+ attorneys) to start its commercial litigation group 10 years ago. Have had success in growing practice/group and bringing in good clients, but perception is reality, and being at an ID firm is a huge obstacle for getting commercial work. Anyone crack this code, turn an ID firm into “full service”? My best idea is to target 3-4 laterals with decent/modest books, make them great deals to come over, and market it as a rebrand.

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
