I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

I kind of love the energy new hires have. Makes me think about how I had so much hope, happiness and energy to crank when I was new. Now after 5.5 years in the profession, I feel like a grumpy old man and I’m only 30.

Same here.

I’m excited by our new campus hires. I always volunteer to interview them. Just love seeing the raw energy and excitement. It’s great being able to see them come in and provide guidance/mentor-ship as they come up through the organization.

uplifting

OP did you come out of college with the ability to file tax returns, perform an audit, or give consulting guidance? Our whole model is mentorship. I’m not sure what you expect.

Do you want our new hires to come already beaten down, defeated, and miserable?

Thank you. It’s so annoying when people forget what it’s like to be young and new in a career. Let people enjoy their moment and live in their own little world and busk on that for a bit. Life’s already hard as it is. They’ll pick things up just like the rest of us did. If the golf swing is their only concern, it’s okay!
