How to deal with motivation? I feel so done with this job and I've been looking at job postings all morning

Does anyone have any prayer requests?

Long shot here. My wife has been trying to get Taylor Swift tickets with no luck. I'd love to come in and save the day. Does anyone have one extra ticket that they'll be willing to sell?

MARIA HILL TO THE RESCUE! (Avengers theme plays)

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Anyone willing to have a chat for Mck/Bain

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

Ladies, what heels / brands do you recommend for work? Looking for shoes I can walk around in (mostly) comfortably

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

My ASM is lazy and is incapable of doing the easiest basic tasks with recruitment. She receives all my end of day updates, is cc’d on all emails, makes me fill out 5 repetitive excel/smart sheet, and joins all my meetings but she still wants to call having me 5x daily about updates. I’m always the one to go to if other recruiters fail to meet client deadlines and cleaning up recruiters mistakes. How do I even handle this to begin with?

Any staple brands for a first year analyst’s wardrobe?

Why are some entries on the creative circle shortlist in red? Have they accidentally leaked the gold award winners?

Trademark confusion question. New to TMa here.

MANUFACTURETALK vs MANUFACTURE HAWK

Not real names. Both start with same term - diff is between talk and hawk? I think it wouldn’t be confusingly similar as talk and hawk elicit diff meaning to a consumer. What you think?

Anyone have a contrarian opinion on a trend / investment theme going on in the private investing world, particularly tech investing? Feels like everything is painted in the “huge growing market with tons of white space” lens.

For those with corporate banking expertise, how do you typically go about calculating debt capacity for a company?

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Are any other paralegals struggling with billable hour requirements? I have 5 years of experience in corporate transactions, M&A, and real estate work, and have never had billable hour requirements. I'm in a new job now where I do and I'm nowhere near meeting them. I'm getting a lot more admin work than billable work, and it's stressing me out.

Has anybody worked on VAT team on RSM or know people that have? What is culture like? Work schedule and hours like during busy season? Any information would be helpful.

Leaving Big 4 for industry. Is it really bad if you don’t give 2 week notice?

If you wanted to work for your audit client, could you simply quit without anything lined up and then reach out for a job at the end of your two weeks? Private company if that is helpful information.

Random: is anyone in the same mindset as me that everything has a black or white answer and grey is just created by people that don’t want to make tough decisions? It’s a debate I have going on with my wife and some other outside parties.
