How do you impress a partner you don't know that well and meeting one on one for the first time?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

For those that transferred internally from Audit —-> TAS, how did you talk to your partner about making the move? Just talked to mine and he seemed pretty upset. Our business is understaffed and I am considered a “high” performer. Just wondering if this should have been generally expected/your experiences were the same.

What are your tips on convincing a fellow employee not to switch agencies? I really don't want to compete with them

I have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

Hi, we just launched Diversity and inclusion committee at our work place and one of our many initiatives is to share some reminders /notifications about safety and inclusion in common employee platforms/portals e.g There’s no place or time when discrimination is acceptable. Please feel free to report to HR if you com across any discriminatory behavior. Anyone has any more similar ideas what other topics we can add?

Associate's red manicure looks pretty. Should I complement?

how do you deal with a line manager whose approach towards clients Is completely wrong and in turn makes you less motivated to do your job? I'm a firm believer in that people set the tone for others

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids. This has been the story of my career. Have superior experience - stellar reviews - people fighting to get on to my team because our team is great and I treat everyone well. This is so frustrating. Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.

I was on a tour but where I asked a couple of older women sitting behind me to speak softly as it was 6:30 am in the morning. After that they kept saying loudly that i’m smelling and that i need to use deo and that i should keep my arm down. I confronted them later and they said respect your elders?? I want to ruin their vacation. What else can I do?

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

Recently joined.. How to know who is our HR..whom to take concerns with..like need to switch project..etc..

How often do you respond to emails from law students who want to learn about your firm/practice area? I get like a dozen requests right around OCI every year. Frankly I’m tired of speaking to them and answering the same boring questions, especially if I know they have a low GPA and no chance of summering at my firm, but I do feel bad saying no/ignoring them

what are you go-to brands for work clothes?

Were you ever thrown under the bus by your boss? How did you deal with it?\

I recently took a job with a top tier investment manager, which is a step up in title and responsibilities. I went through the typical “notice” conversations with my current employer. My boss, who was a significant supporter and mentor of me during my time at my current firm, told me that he doesn’t think my new firm is “long term” for me. Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Random question, my boss wants me to become a notary so I can handle notarizing all of the official documents myself. Has anyone else been asked to do this for their employer? Is it ethical?

I have an intern who's hygiene has slowly deteriorated over a few very stressful weeks at work. Should I leave them be, or gently remind them?

A guy who used to be on my team resigned a few weeks ago for another opportunity. I ran into his new boss socially and told them I was really impressed with how this guy was handling the drug bust and battling his heroine addiction during this career change. It shows real grit. That’s what wishing the best for others looks like.

Have any of you worked in FM and then started practicing HIV medicine? I am working toward an AAHIVS credential, but am wondering if I need to leave my current practice vs try to incorporate treatment where I am. No one else treats HIV in my clinic currently, and PAs in my clinic are not currently paneled but I have a lot of autonomy in my team despite technically seeing patients with an MD listed as PCP

Should we bite the losses and exit with something? What are people here thinking?

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

Moving from Chicago to Atlanta. Looking for thoughts on Grant Park area to live - near the zoo. Pros and cons please!

Partners, what were some life changes that making partner brought about. Thinking mostly in terms of pay increase, additional security of retirement...but interested in other impacts to your lifestyle

Heard that partners at MBB that focus on public /social sectors (higher education institutions, government, non-profit orgs) get lower salaries than peers. Is that true and by how much?

Hi Fishes,

Partners- At what point in your career did you feel like you had financially “made it”?

Partners, what are some good business novels/books that you read recently and helped you in your day to day roles

Looking for advice in context of being a EY SM that will be part of NewCo if it goes through. Would I be better off shooting for MD this year vs waiting 2-3 years for Partner?

For the partners/mds/directors etc how are you protecting your money with the new administration? I’m assuming Biden’s plan will help the lower class but for the upper class I’m sure there have been strategies your advisors have been telling you. I currently have 20k in savings and feel like it’s just getting inflated away.

With the CDC releasing new mandates, What are partners seeing from clients? Are they asking for full return to the office? I definitely want to keep staying wfh and not commuting :/

So, Partners... What's your spending breakdown like? Curious to see what expenses y'all have. # of yrs as Partner may also help.

Thanks for sharing! Again, just for fun and curiosity.

Are all 529 plans not allowed if one makes partner at PwC? Seems like everything is showing up as not permitted on independence checkpoint.

How do PPMDs make sure when you are replacing an incumbent, you don't get handed down a broken system ? What sort of knowledge transfer and contractual framework do you get the client to agree to and how do you negotiate on that? I feel clients are not always honest and hide a lot of landmines which a consulting company can walk into and blamed for it.

What are the benefit differences between an equity partner and a non-equity partner (e.g. managing director)?

Can we be real about the sacrifices partners need to make in their life to get and do the job? I'm trying to gauge if it's the right track for me.

Big 4 partners, can you provide any insights into the Partner v MD decision when you were up? Were you given the option? Can you share the pros v cons, especially from salary and pension standpoint.

D 🐠, what was your take home in first year as principal? I assume you all get roughly 350 units and have to finance your buy in. What does that leave for your monthly draw? And after your insurance?

What was the first thing you did once you become partner? I am assuming heavy pressure on selling more than what you were selling before?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?

How did you find out what you want in life? Feeling lost mid-career..

Have any of you considered FIRE? I'm sure some of the partners are young and rich enough to retire. So why not say screw working until 60 and to hell with the pension? Travel the world and live life while I can?
