Definitely aim for something nice, but nothing ultra exuberant. I guess I can see it varies a lot as to what is allowed and expected for each company, but I’ve always been told you might as well do it right if you are going to do it at all. Plus it’s a huge perk to me to have some of the nicer things on a work tab!

depends if you're trying to wow and what level of resources you're taking out

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?
