Isnt it a disservice to the firm if they keep making you turn on your camera in meetings (especially client meetings) if you’re unattractive?

I wouldn’t know. I am incredibly good looking, as far as you know

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you're in a face to face meeting, you're not asked to sit with a bag over your head if you're ugly. We're all grown up enough and so cameras ON!

My mom always said you can never criticize how someone looks as they were born that way. As a hairdresser she tried to make everyone look their best. So turn on your camera and be positive!

Sure, your mom and you are probably good looking so it's easy for you to say.. it's hell to be unattractive

I am also unattractive but I turn on my camera for the professionalism of it. It is nice to know that you are not in a meeting by yourself.

I agree with you if you're not attractive hide as much as possible... the odds are you're not going to succeed anyway.. the only place you could be unattractive and excel is an academia... don't even think about finance or marketing..

If the media is already informed about the meeting, it is convenient to keep the camera running.
I'm sorry I didn't have the camera, it was very important for me, I'm sorry, I hope

I'm giving you another chance

I love seeing someone’s face. I’m instantly more connected than on the phone. I’m not usually focusing on how good looking they are. I pay more attention to are they smiling, looking stressed, seeming rushed, etc.

I’m uglier than a mole on a warthog. I feel this pain, and I can’t imagine the pain those who see me. I should probably utilize a paper bag on video calls.

Maybe double bag, just in case

Spoken like someone from the Trump administration,who would rather hire someone pretty rather than qualified. Pull you head out of your ass, comb you hair and turn on your camera.

Wut?

Just put a bag on your head while on camera

Me and my partner are not sure whether we want to have kids . Sometimes we want to and the next day we are completely against the idea . The reason we want to have kids is that we want to grow our inner circle , have more people in this world who we can call our family. And we don’t want to have kids is that it will put extra pressure on us , less freedom for next 10-15 years. Wanted to understand why people have kids or don’t have kids . Please share your thoughts :)

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
