Least favorite thing to hear ever: "Does that make sense?" It sounds so condescending to me.

Obviously tone is important, but I wouldn't view it that way. After I've given instructions or shown somebody how to do something I will typically ask that as a prompt for any clarifications or questions, especially if that person is inexperienced in that area or if it's a difficult concept. The key is actually meaning it. If it doesn't make sense or you have a question, I truly want you to say so.

Hi fishes,

I have received my first offer letter which they wanted me to accept by e- signing it and after i did that theh have sent out form 11 and other documents to be filled in 2 days.
I have never filled form 11 and other personal details untill 1 week before my joining date.

My joining date would be after my notice period which is usually 2 months.
Should I share the person details and form 11 they asked for now itself?
Will it be a problem if i don't wish to join the company later

I need some career advice. I finished my master's degree in international law (B.A.Sc international relations) but I am not sure where to go from here. I always wanted to join a big firm and I've applied to different vacancies in international firms/companies but got rejected from all of them.
Does anyone have any tips on certain job positions or companies where an LLM would prove to be useful with my background?
I'm starting to feel quite stuck in this situation and it's very demoralising.

Advice when looking for Tech Consulting internships in Chicago or DC Metro? My GPA (3.04) has disqualified me from most major companies.

Have a great day!
