I’m seeing a lot of LinkedIn posts from Big4 interns who just completed their virtual internship. It’s like they’ve won an Academy Award. It is hilarious and at the same time 🤢. How is a 2 week virtual internship a life-changing experience? Is it worth the gushy thanks of support to everyone on their “journey”? I can’t stand LinkedIn.

I have mixed feelings. The braggy part is cringeworthy, but I think appreciation for the re-tooling that was required to do remote internships is nice.

They should celebrate! The amount that they got paid is coming from manager promotion raise, which is reduced to 7.5%!!.....yes yes partners took a pay cut. From avg $650 down to $600! How do live on that??? Is that even possible.

Hi, 4 months back I have attended Deloitte interview and after submitting pre hire survey, my profile was on hold and now I have received pre hire survey again, is there any possibility that profile will be processed to offer?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
