Hi all! Was wondering if anyone could give a referral/insight into moving into sustainability/climate roles in big4, mbb or at CBRE . I have 5 years exp in research analysis/data wrangling/business development in nonprofit and industry consulting, but I want to pivot to sustainability/environment work as its something I really enjoy. My education is in environmental policy and I have internships in renewables/built environment. KPMG PwC Boston Consulting Group

After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

Sometimes overly professional vernacular can be seen abrasive. Some word choices by default are going to be seen as aggressive
This just happened to my gf, start holding your manager accountable. Keep video recordings of all meetings and bcc yourself on emails ( make darn sure you have a paper trail for EVERYTHING,) meaning any messages in slack or messaging app, any meeting you’re in send a follow up email with the recording and your notes on what you need to do.
Make sure you ask “ am I understanding what you’re needing done here? Is there anything else I am missing or misunderstanding?”
You’ll need to send an email to hr before you start recording to inform them as to why and why you need the recordings “ FOR ME TO GET BETTER” let them know what and why and make sure that is documented as well
I would say something like this to hr

“ I am doing this to make sure I am understanding what I am doing wrong and how to be better in the future.”

If your boss gets anything other than excited you’re taking accountability… they’re trying to push you out.
This is a common practice by a lot of “new bosses” when they just do not like you personally. They can and will find a reason to get rid of you.
Respond in kind and make sure if you’re going to get fired… you get a severance or if the harassment is enough send a letter letting them know you’ll be filing a complaint if and when that happens.
Any way, I know these situations can be hard… I’ve been there a few times… keep your head up. Keep crushing and and for the love of god, do not give them a reason and if you do have a job lined up after…best of luck!
Context needed... What type of feedback are you providing? I ask because there is a possibility that the message you are trying to deliver is not wanted. In turn its being perceived as hostile/aggressive regardless of your tone. I encountered this early in my career. Tread carefully....
I am sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes and I know how tough that is. I would suggest looking for something else if you are feeling that way. Environments like that usually do not get better.
Supervisor1 is correct. You can do all of the analysis you want and do all the things ….. unfortunately, at the end of day, your feedback, opinion is unwanted. You’re not valued. It hurts me to write it, so it may hurt you to read it.
You need to start looking for another role where you are valued. I’ve been in this position before and it sucks, it’s hurtful, it’s unfair. But, you can control only you.
I don’t know the exact circumstances etc. but I would keep my mouth shut, go into survival mode so that when you leave, you can do so on good terms.
That can happen, sometimes our best efforts at reading the room just don't work and we can have problems communicating. Something you might try is to talk to your manager and address the fact that your communication seems to be misinterpreted. Perhaps there's something you could do to adjust your tone. That might be an awkward conversation to have, but trying that is probably better than continuing to deal with the constant frustration of being misunderstood.
Such a frustrating position to be in - and I know it well. I do think that this is something women face disproportionately (not sure if you're female or not) because women who have questions or concerns or want to raise problems are often seen as being "difficult." If you're not female (or even if you are), I think working on tone (in addition to staying calm) and trying to adjust your approach can help. It's frustrating when it feels like others don't have to do this but can be worth it. You could also express these concerns to your manager and ask for feedback on your communication
