If you are new to the firm and trying to get on strong projects/articulate value,would that be helpful or looked down upon to share sensitized/“generisized” examples of prior work during intro calls?

Oral examples? Personally I'd expect you to draw from your experience but obviously not anything proprietary. You're certainly not expected to pretend you know and have done nothing in the past.

Be super careful about sharing materials from previous jobs, no matter how sanitized. You don’t own that stuff and it’s a major violation of most firms’ code of business ethics to have it circulate internally. A guy we recruited who came over with DD reports from his previous firm got in fairly serious trouble for that.

Hello! I’m doing an “eat the alphabet” activity with my friend where each letter red presents a country, I.e.

Anyone have recommendations for a Oaxacan, not just Mexican, restaurant that is also affordable? Thanks!

Last night BF and I went out to dinner since neither of us wanted to cook. We were having an enjoyable evening and ran into a former co-worker and her husband who I have not seen since before COVID. Ex co-worker made this odd scene about my "glow up" and even posted to social media a picture she insisted both couples take.
Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation?
