I was fired at my previous firm and someone who also worked there just joined my team. It was a really awkward time and very toxic. I'm not sure how much this person knows about my sudden "departure". My current team doesn't know anything about my past and I prefer it stays that way. We're going to have to talk sometime, but I'm not sure what to say if they ask what happened. Thoughts? I'm a bad liar. By the way, I'm rocking at my current firm and it's true that some jobs are not the right fit!

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

Firing a client-best strategy? Does anyone have a template letter for diplomatically firing an unwanted client?

Building out a new function at my company, top 15 bank in the US, and scheduled a 90 minute meeting last week for today. Invite included an agenda and a teams link to the document we would be reviewing. Also asked for attendees to review ahead. 20 minutes in, my co-worker exclaims while I’m mi-sentence we should meet Thurs. after having a chance to review content… WHAT?! What should I have done in that situation?

If my staff lied about his work experience and has slipped up sometimes about it, do I call him out? Then what do I do about it afterwards?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

What are some good books to read if I want to learn how to better show up for the team as a manager?

Deloitte guys - Serious question.

Hi Doordash 🐠, has there been discussions of layoffs? Is DD planning on doing any? Thanks, from a potential hire

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

Joining EY soon. Should I be worried about layoffs happening supposedly in June/July?

What are some coping strategies if you don’t like your current team (an indecisive manager, some catty colleagues). Tried addressing it carefully but seems like they are who they are... (cont’d)

Does anyone have a go-to "odd" or unconventional question you like to ask candidates to keep them on their toes or see how they react when put on the spot?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

Everyone on my team is leaving the firm. The PPMD who hired me left the firm before my start date, now two seniors have left in the last 2 months. My team will be down to <3 with no manager/SM/PPMD. A Manager/PPMD from a diff. City is going taking our “office” over, so I’ll be the random staff that lives out of state but reports to them. What would you do?

Has anyone here moved from FDD to M&A consulting recently is willing to share their experience?

Should litigation come out of legal or the businesses budget? My understanding is business? Any thoughts here or advice…

Hi, i have my joining with cognizant tomorrow(12 sep), i have received the onboarding pass but haven't received any onboarding meeting invite , when do they generally send the meeting invite?

Hello sharks.

What will be the equivalent salary in India if getting $80k in Canada??

Good morning all I hope all is well. So I'm currently a Computer Engineer (Glorified Help desk support) for the MGM Resorts International Corporate IT office here in Vegas.

I currently have a Bachelor's in Computer Science but want to be Cloud Security Engineer. I'm debating whether to go for second bachelors at WGU in Cybersecurity while self studying Cloud certifications, or doing the Cloud Computing while self studying Cybersecurity certifications. Or just go Masters with IT concentration.

Welcome to the bowl of pega developers.

I have an interview with McKinsey - Senior Associate, the role pays 50k more than my current role. (3YOE)

Hello,
Can someone plz share what's the average hike given in apisero for a senior software engineer ? 4 year exp/tech : Mulesoft

I was approached by an external recruiter about Houlihan Lokey TAS at a senior level (SVP / Director). No specific comp ranges discussed yet, but I hear bonuses are massive. Not sure if anyone has insights at that level as most posts are for analyst / associates - thoughts?

Also hearing about a lot of turnover at senior levels - for people who work there, what's the story? Is it a leadership problem or just limited to offices?

Principal Consultant (CyberSec) at IR/Advisory firm with no degree and 10 yrs experience. Comp - $142k w/$28k bonus and $60k stock vested over 4 yrs. Would I be foolish to look elsewhere w/o a degree?

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

Flights cancelled and delayed; spent the whole day in the airport/flying. How do I charge my time?

Just fired my therapist. Feels better than it should

I'm almost at the point of an offer, and also just started a 6 month long engagement since my utilization was taking a hit. How do you fish recommend dealing with the situation once the offer comes?

If my boss asks me for a straight forward task, I complete that task and always try to go above and beyond by adding in additional analysis, etc. it usually takes me an extra hour.

Looking for book recommendations; any favorites? Interested in both fiction and educational/self-improvement (for example, investment / finance books, time management, etc). I feel my vocab is...

EY folk - when are bonus amounts announced? Thanks!

Anyone else want to see the Zoom servers utilization superimposed on top of the COVID infection rate? Assuming they are eerily similar.

Jesus christ. It's only Wednesday

I have been tagged for this project that doesn’t start until June 10th. My utilization is going to drop significantly but at the same time the deployment team cannot present me elsewhere. Ugh!

Looking for book recommendations on strategy/strategic thinking. Something along the lines of Contagious but open to any options. Thanks in advance!

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

When this is over we need to rethink our concept of who is “essential” because in all honestly most of us are not - but our grocery workers and delivery people are.

What’s the culture like at Guidehouse? Saw a product manager role there that looks interesting. Don’t know anyone who has worked there.

Spanish flu lasted 3 years with no flattening of curve... I m fed up in week 3 itself. Will flattening the curve spread it out further by 1-2 years? In that case I am sure the economy will change cont
