I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

Worked with a senior a couple years back that recently switched to FDD from audit (internal transfer) — I’m rated a high performer and would like to make the jump and I’m thinking about reaching out to him about the process, does anyone have any advice about how to go about this? I haven’t spoken with this person since we worked together. Thinking of just emailing him and expressing interest and asking how he did it

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Anyone else despise writing titles for scripts? Or is this just my own weird writer quirk?

Has anyone ended up working for a prospect?

I just had a conversation with a CEO at a startup I admire, and the topic turned to sales hires. My jaw dropped at the comp numbers and I also really love the product, their selling philosophy (buyer centric, empathetic ; less volume based), and I feel like the CEO is an extremely empathetic bit straight forward person.

I'm considering throwing my hat in the ring for consideration, at the same time I've got a sales motion going on - any tips?

What did you do with your first NW 100k to get the snowball rolling? I invested 60% of it (to IRA and individual brokerage) and the remaining 40% as emergency fund. I felt like it’s not getting me anywhere. For the investment, I’m very late in the game that I just started last month buying everything ATH. So it’s not looking good
