I work with 2 older white men and whenever I’m leading a project, they are always late giving me their notes/ feedback even after multiple reminders. This recent incident, they had 3 weeks to give feedback where I did most of the work and all they had to do was check their sections before I presented it to our boss and the day after I presented, only then did they have something to say and was questioning the scope and intent of the deck! Anyone else experience this?

Kippot — do any of you wear one at client sites? How do you message that with your firm and the client firm if there’s comments?

Another salesman told a client their ad campaign would be ready next week. Today our supervisor told me to help him, but he has hardly even started the work. Is there any way for me to point this out without feeling like a jerk

Resigned last week from a job with a horrible manager. In the process learned that the other team member is toxic and poisoning my reputation in front of others behind my back. I am so relieved!

If you could ask a partner of your firm any question anonymously, what would you ask?

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."

@ PE folks, do you think it’s weird if a new member of your Big Law team of lawyers sends you a LinkedIn request as soon as she starts working with you? Is it less weird if I wait?

(The confession is that I eventually want to go in-house at this PE firm, so I want them to like me 😅)

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life. T-14 and big law have placed me in the company of some really accomplished individuals. It likely skewed the bar in terms of what I find as impressive.

My girlfriend's sister works at a Fortune 500 company and views herself as very accomplished. She's not a good person. I also don't find her impressive so I don't particularly try

Am an executive assistant and There is one executive I support who is very annoying. He doesn't behave this way with backup admin assistants when am out of the office

How do you deal or work with such people?

People of Color, how do you deal with an all-white team who doesn't acknowledge your (worthy) accomplishments while pats all incompetent employees?

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

Invited to a recruiting/networking session for an analyst level role at a Bain Capital. Excuse my naivete, but is business professional (full suit) the expectation here? Unfortunately my only well fitting suit was torn recently so trying to see if I can get away with another outfit

It irks me when someone says I have a "lovely voice," it just makes me feel super uncomfortable and unsure what I should say to them

My MD won't stop saying "penetrate" in our meeting. Apparently I still have the humor of a 10-year-old

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

Planning to renew my working from office / casual wardrobe after working from 2 years from home. If you had 1-2k what brands / clothes would you buy for complete refresh? Male in his 30s Senior Manager.

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!

My coworker keeps leaving terrible jokes in the comments on our code, and some of them are vaguely sexist. Should I tell them to keep the code clean?

What’s the average hourly freelance rate for digital art directors with 3 years of experience in NYC?

Had my first discussion with a recruiter. Feels kind of good

Anyone recently joined Optum in India? Did you receive welcome gift?

Heard bumblings over HH today of a second round of Deloitte Tax Chicago layoffs after busy season. Thoughts?

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Anyone has a good rec for improving SC in a really short time. Test in 2 weeks and still not getting half my SC questions right. CR and RC are at about 80% accuracy.

Any insight into Red Havas ? I’ve been interviewing with them and it seems too good to be true…

in live hirevue interviews, can they tell if you switched tabs? I have a few notes on my computer id like to refer to if possible

Is principal consultant equivalent to senior manager in pwc? @pwc

Anyone actually managed to get a 3080? Damn these bots 😤

I felt like I am moving nowhere. I don't know what to do.

I am 29. I decided again to pause studying business in a university. I only have 5 subjects left before graduation. Reasons?

$10,000 total debts,
Pandemic,
Career Crisis

I turned to online classes that offer internship and support. I'm taking digital marketing, python programming and bookkeeping to apply and enhance my skills. I retained my job as a real time analyst.

I sleep 6 hours in average. High sugar intake.

What is everyone doing today babes 🧐

Have to give a massive shout out to one of our overlooked group of colleagues, the RT team. Thank you!

My office will be Marisoft Wing C, Kalyani Nagar. How is that? In which area can I find flats for rent?
