I’m 1.5 months delayed in getting my recommender a gift, what should I get him? I got into CBS but I don’t want to tell him the news before giving his gift for fear of sending the message of “hey I got in, so now I’m grateful and here’s a gift”. Do I send the gift, then tell him I got into CBS a few days later?

Yes, I think you wait to tell him. In my experience recommenders have no idea what the timeline is, so as long as he doesn’t hear it from someone else you can wait as long as you need to to tell him.

Just started a new job two weeks and I’m pretty sure I’ve accidentally pissed off a VP. Basically it was a miscommunication on who was doing what after a meeting we had. My boss (also a VP), myself, and two others felt we would do it one way - with me being the main contributor, and apparently the other VP took it differently and had her team doing the same task. Now it seems she’s annoyed at me/us. How do I salvage this?!
