Internal analyst reached out for an informational interview. Usually NBD but they reversed my first and last name. Other than bad form, is it worth ignoring the request since they missed the basics?

Do you have a last names that sounds a lot like a first name? I had a parter come up and introduce himself to me when I was new and he said, I know first and last all sounds the same I get that a lot but easy way to remember me either way... welcome. No ego, no BS and he’s a partner who could have had an attitude like you and not be as successful or liked as much as he is in our office.

Could be a cultural thing? Ive quite often had Indian people address me by my last name. I think it's fairly common to address someone by their family/sur name in india but I'm the US it is very informal to do so without, somewhat ironically, title (Mr,Mrs,Ms)

In the analysts defense, it was probably unintentional and might have been a honest mistake. Cut them some slack.

I suggest you get over yourself.

Definitely not intentional. It might be because of how your name shows on outlook. Most of the time outlook shows your last name first!

Maybe get a better, more distinctive last name?

Seriously, OP.. if that’s the kind of problems you have in life, you have it pretty good! I don’t think the poor analyst will get anything useful from your mentorship. If you do talk to him, please DO NOT teach him your attitude!

OP totally has a first name for a last name.

Just mention in the response. But do help them. If they still don’t spell it right - you can tell them

It’s not that they didn’t spell it right, they reversed my first and last names. I’d be OK with a typo, but this I feel is worse

Do the right thing

First of all, if they had stalked you on LinkedIn as part of their interview research, they would have figured out your name. Poor follow through. Reject

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

I am currently showing 800 days and 9 years elite. Anyone know if this year is included in that if I have 50 nights? Right on the border for lifetime platinum premier elite and I want it!!!

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.
