Is anyone else working today? I logged on this morning and it looks like it’s basically just my boss and me online. No emails, no pings, no meetings. It's just that quiet, end of year calm that makes you wonder why you’re even here. I’m mostly online because I’m trying to save my PTO for next year, but it still feels a little strange working on December 24th when everything is this quiet. Curious who else is also working today?

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

How am I working out a part time employees holiday entitlement? The employee works 16 hours a week over 2 days.

Thanks in advance.

Fishbowlers - do you book your vacation and ask for forgiveness later, or ask for the green light from your PM and then book?

Played hooky for 4 days (caregiving), came back today and haven't done anything other than listening in 3 meetings, but still getting paid for all 40hrs this week 🙏🙏

So thankful right now for WFH and joining a company with paid time off for the first time

How soon after starting a new job is it OK to take a vacation? Is it seen as bad etiquette to start a job and, a week in, book a vacation a month in advance? I’d be taking three to five days off.

What's going on this weekend? Any fun holiday shops or pop-up bars I could check out?

I’m at 7.5 years of experience and got an offer letter saying 3 weeks of vacation. I’m currently at 5 weeks vacation - are companies typically flexible with this?

After freelancing for years and doing well, would you consider a full time job? It's really hard to give up the flexibility of freelance, but... also hard to give up having a 401k match again. Salary would be similar to freelance money, but less time off. Thoughts?

Anyone find a reasonable flight around Thanksgiving? I’m looking for somewhere to go over the holiday for 5 nights or so.

Feb 2021 L1 candidates how are you keeping yourself motivated to study with holiday season upon us...thanks

Can partners at EY consulting buy as much equity as they desire?

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer.

How do you navigate a job offer that is contingent on the firm calling professional references? I don’t want to tell my current firm I’m leaving for this other firm until it’s official…which means I can’t use my current bosses as references. I have been with this firm since I graduated law school (5+ years), so I don’t have other legal references. I had a pre-law career…but that was so long ago. I’m not sure what to do…any suggestions?

I made an offer to a candidate today. It feels really good to make that phone call and hear the other person being happy.

Thoughts on Citi's Leveraged Portfolio Group at the Analyst level? I'm curious if anyone has additional details on the group for an Analyst spot. What does the group focus on in terms of work, what are hours like, decent exit Ops, interview process etc? I'm currently an Analyst in an industry specific Corporate Banking group at a competitor of Citi so I have experience underwriting HY transactions and portfolio management.

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
