How would you react? My client is an older southern woman, very religious. On our last team call before the project wrapped up she was telling us her appreciation for our work… when she got to me she said “you know I don’t agree with all of your life choices, but I love you as a person” alluding to me being gay..but I’m conflicted…. I know it came from a good place… but gosh still felt icky/embarrassed especially being targeted a call with ~20+ people and my boss…

Ever had a crush on a manager? I just signed a new job offer and am worried I’m starting to develop a crush on my new manager from talking to him every week.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

What does everyone else think?

Any Deloitte folks going to DU this week?

One year in NYC—24, enjoyed myself, but no deep connections with new friends/partners. Came to hopefully open the door on a variety of opportunities, but something tells me that spending another year here will not help that. Money flies, space is cramped, not thrilled with my office, hate winter. I miss LA a lot—I miss driving, the weather, the space, people...but everyone tells me I have to give NYC at least 2 years. Thoughts?
