@A6 we’re fully remote so location doesn’t matter but right now our critical need is someone who can be the main point of contact for clients and knows enough to mostly independently manage transactions (with great paralegal support) like incorporations, seed financings, venture financings, equity issuances, etc.

No.

Just keep asking for more work so you won't look like a slacker. That's what I do.

I was super slow earlier this month. But now busy. And I got a nasty talking to yesterday even though I asked for work over and over.

That’s so horrible! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m sure the IVF process is already stressful as it is without people nagging you for being responsive when you’re under water

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
