Lady fish, how do you handle catty women at the office? Another advisor seems out to get me for no reason-she is constantly catty toward me and every single encounter and I want to stand up for myself

Perhaps I’d like a version of this that doesn’t require or ask for a response from her-something I could just walk away after saying.

Sad to say.... mean girls grow up to be mean women. Don't take it... politely, with a smile call her out on it ... everytime...

How do I call her out on it? She does it so subtlety that she could totally deny any mean intentions and could easily claim it was all in my head and that I took it the wrong way. I’d love to tell her to her face that she’s a ****but she’s definitely the tattletale type and would be running to the branch manager if I did that

Also if you are both advisors limit your time with her... your time should be with clients, prospecting for clients and working on accounts....

If you only see her that little shake it off and don't give it a second thought.

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
