Depends on the role and industry you’re looking to apply for...

No. Just look professional.

@pwc, if I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt I will definitely not look professional. That is where the question comes from.

What company do you work for?

Could you get away with khakis and a T-shirt for work that day and throw a button down into your work bag that day then change in the bathroom on your way out the door?

Just change on your way. I've changed for interviews in my car and in hotel and fast food restrooms.

Yeah kpmg1, that's the alternative. I could just wear something nicer to the office and just be a little more uncomfortable all day.

I work in a downtown area and am a fan of changing in hotel bathrooms

For interviews, ha!

Jeans and a fitted, who cares. Won’t be a big deal.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
