So is there another bowl?

I seemed to be doing a lot but yet I feel like I’m not getting the groove at anything. Especially at my work, I know I can do more and I’m a rockstar. At this moment, this rockstar feels like she’s on a crash post getting high.

Let me know if anyone can help me with this query.

I had 2 rounds of interviews with EY GDS. Followed by HR reaching out to get documents and relevant information. Please mind HR discussion has not happened yet.

Its been more than a week since there is no response from HR side/GDS team.

Does this mean that they did not consider me? Because I believe that HR asking for docs is a clear indication that I cleared my interviews.

Is this a norm? Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]
