I was recently passed over for a promotion, after a great year and my manager telling me I was ready for it. I’m feeling quite burnt out. I’ve been considering requesting an unpaid leave of absence (management has to approve), but I worry that stepping away will hurt my chances for my next (overdue) and future promos. What would you do in my situation? I don't even know how start the discussion My manager is constantly grinding, her job is her life, so I bet she will look at me as if I was crazy

Why do people “certify the question” during depos - this one guy says it after every instruction not to answer. From his tone it’s not to “mark” the section of the transcript for him later. Isn’t this an old school thing - like pre computers?

Guys did you hear the big news???

What do you think when associates/senior associates misspeak on a concept during a meeting or interview?

I’ve learned something new on each project, and I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot so I rarely contribute to conversations; only after I have done research on the topic and have prepared do I speak/give ideas

Why is everyone here so triggered by the White Tiger? That’s how the majority of India lives, please get outside your white collar bubbles. And stop saying “the media always shows poverty”, they also released shows like Bollywood Wives and Indian Matchmaking.

When I downloaded Fishbowl over a year ago I had impostor syndrome and was worried all the successful people here would look down on me. Seeing so many people with high ranking titles relate to my everyday life made me more confident to just be me.

We're all insecure, meme loving, pot heads just figuring out life together 🥹 ❤

TFW the 30 middle school kids at your gate start boarding a different flight. 😀

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Anyone else notice how ever since that research came out that said performance reviews are BS, HRs everywhere have been saying “We don’t do a traditional performance review.”

Meanwhile I’m over here with you telling me to rate employees on a 5-point scale. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

What is the best consultancy for Media and Entertainment work? Considering a move…

Relatively new in Big4 M&A advisory doing mostly integration work with some pre deal DD mixed in. I recently heard L.E.K. Consulting places well in MM PE but don't know much about them otherwise. Was interested if anyone had insight into whether a jump to their M&A or PE groups would be possible. In terms of background, I have an undergrad business degree from a T20 school and graduated a T14 law school as well.
