I thought it would be good to have a bowl where we can post book reviews / recommendations.

Best pot roast sides... Go!

What's a nice restaurant to take relatives to when they're in the city visiting? Would like something nice but not over-the-top fancy.

Selling 2 tickets to Billy Joel at Notre Dame Stadium for this Saturday June 25th at 8pm. Please dm me for details!

Rather specific question - best beef tartare in town?

Love Spanish/Balearic wine, my go to is currently Sa Vall Selecció Privada from a Vineyard in Mallorca.

What other Spanish wines do you recommend?

Laila Blueprint Cabernet 😍 I swear this is the best wine I've had in years.

Best pizza delivery in Boston? I really like Picco. Upper Crust is trash. Regina is decent.

I'm thinking of entering the show The Ultimatum marry or move on

Ok, my favorite singer comes THIS WEEK for an interview ❗❗❗
I'm excited about the opportunity of proving my capabilities, but I also don't want to miss the chance of getting a picture or maybe an autograph.
Is it ok if I ask for it? Or is it too invasive?

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Anybody work for Oracle Utilities and have any insight?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

I have a friend looking for a graphic designer that can build her a style guide. Anyone have any recommendations?

Please send websites as well.


Thanks

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Hi ,

Can anyone please help to complete Mandatory trainings for PWC

Please like my post, trying to unlock DMs. Much appreciated!

After every busy season, I think about leaving public accounting and/or the firm. I have 5+ years in tax. Anyone switch to audit/consulting from tax? Two busy seasons a year, with barely anytime to chill in between is exhausting. Anyone in private looking to hire someone with a background in federal tax?

Anyone looking to hire an entry level accountant position with no experience?

It’s been difficult to get a job around here.

What I have:
- Bachelors in Accounting
- Starting Masters in Accounting in January 2023

Is investment accounting a good career path? Looking for any insight to the role, career progression, exit ops, etc. I got the opportunity to work at a very well known wealth asset management company as an investment accountant. I do enjoy finance as well. Pay is very good so I’m wondering if I should take the opportunity?

Hi, does anyone know the salary of a manager in IT Audit (or regular audit) in the big 4 in Singapore? Also, do you know what the working hours are like in normal and busy season. Thanks in advance

Hi fishes. Could use your guidance on my thoughts for few days. I’m a Bcom graduate with no exposure to tech or IT. I have been working in retail banking and now Im in Investment banking operations. Im thinking of upscaling myself by learning SQL, Tableu. Will These be useful to move forward in my career?

What are good brands for young business people. I don't like Gucci and LV cause they are so mainstream. I am in the market for a new wallet and want something that is unique and nice (thinking Tom Ford or Mulberry)

I just signed the offer letter from Absolutdata acquired by Infogain , and even before joining the company they sent me a welcome kit.
I am unsure of joining them in case I get a better counter offer, but I am a bit worried now since they already sent me a welcome kit. I am wondering what made them sure that I will join them and not any other company. Is it that after signing offer letter I cannot join other company?

Do the BB's ask for SAR reports for lateral moves ?

So many recent other recent business books are highly derivative

Has anyone read the Pyramid Principle by Barbara Minto? Is it a good read?

What is everyone reading right now? Any suggestions?

I am reading "the 48 laws of power" by Robert Greene and wondering whether it still applies in today's corporate world.

I’m moving from implementation consulting - where details are super important - to a strategy role, working with C suite executives. Got the feedback that I need to think and work less detailed and way more high level/abstract. Any book recommendations to train this skill or get insights how to best think on an abstract level?

How do you make time for reading in your schedule? Is it something you do in the early morning? On breaks? Before sleep? I can never seem to fit it in

Any book recommendations on how to tame/work with being an overachievers? I'm assuming a lot of us have a hard time switching off the problem-solving voice in our head (I know I do!) and wonder if there anything good to read about this.

Favorite books on leadership styles and mindset training?

Thinking of writing a book.
I started as a housekeeper and now I’m a Data Analyst. I’ve learned a lot along the way.
Anyone have any tips?

Looking for something to help with soft skills in management. Any suggestions?

Looking for good books on investing. Open to anything- real estate, stock market, etc. please leave any suggestions on what to read and anything to avoid - thanks fishes!!

Best book you've read recently on personal finance?

Do you read multiple books at once? Power through one at a time? Do you set a page or chapter daily/weekly goal? Only do audiobooks? Please share your reading habits so we 🐟 can borrow/steal like artists 🎨.

For me, I set 20-30 pg min/night and listen to a different audiobook to/from work. The audiobook thing is new as I've never read >1 at once. Considering 1 chapter/night w/ 3 different books (3 ch/night)... I just want to read them all though not sure - may muddle if one > others.

Loving this new bowl! Please share your favorite business books with me. Topics of interest are personal finance, career, entrepreneurship, and life-work-balance and joy.

Do you use audio books or find them useful?

I just “read” we listened to “The Nowhere Office”. As we are RTOing it really struck home. Highly recommend.
