My manager: *puts all the slides I worked on all weekend and week into the appendix*

Me:

How do you deal with clients who act like they know more than you even though they don't?

What women’s walking shoes do you recommend? I live in Chicago and take the train to work so usually change into shoes once I get to the office.

Have you ever actually let loose on a customer? I think about it almost on a daily basis but I’ve managed to keep my cool so far

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

I’m a third year associate who is planning on putting in my two weeks on Friday... accepted a job at a regional firm in the same LoS. Should I hand a physical letter of resignation to my lead partner?

Anyone else have a formatting pet peeve and get annoyed when people don’t have a blank first column and row in tabs? I.e headers/data in cell A1

My first manager told me this, and I’ve followed it to a T since.

Welp! Finally got the axe today too. I didn’t even get to talk to my manager. One of the execs I support told me he’s very sorry and I was great, etc etc, but it couldn’t be avoided. Whatever. I kind of never want to work again. I’m heartbroken.

What % do you guys charge a partner to advertise on social using your handle/ad account? Is a 100% markup fee plus an "agency" like fee for maintenance of 15% too aggressive?

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

What are your thoughts about wearing chinos to work?

How to switch practice areas? I’ve been in immigration for 3 years now and need a change. How do you convince employers you’re a good fit for a role you don’t have any experience with?

Long term gig at tech client - how to keep my style intact but not look stuffy? I’ve been doing the jeans, collared shirt, jacket look with work shoes/ boots. Any other ideas? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏🏼

What does everyone wear for client meetings in a WFH setting

I’m not from an English speaking country but I am watching a tv show and businessmen walk into a room and instead of greeting eachother, everyone says each person’s first name in lieu of hi, however in my experience working in the states, I haven’t seen anyone do this, it’s always hi or good afternoon or some other greeting first THEN they say their first name. is it also appropriate to omit the greeting?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

My boss was telling me during SARS time ppl were racist towards Asians, didn’t believe her until today I got cut off on the street and a guy stared me down. Sign.

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?

Anyone else get frustrated when the partner brags about their billable hour amount for the month? Like congrats, you get to bill .2 for each piece of mail. You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

Experiential Marketing position, remote w/ some travel and 5 years of experience. Any idea of salary range?

Can anyone tell me,what type of questions I can get in L2 round of interview (manager round) in Legato?
For sr associate,claim processing.
Thanks in advance.

What do you all think about LaBrea/MidWilshire as a place to live? I’ve been toying with the idea of living close to the LACMA (I know, it’s closed) but I don’t know if I’m romanticizing this.

Anyone joined LtI recently with cloud engineer role?

Looking for job in SAP Accounts Payable domain with 10+ Experience in Genpact & Accenture.
Awaiting for any reference.

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

I am concerned with fulfilling billable hours requirement. I’m required to hit 2100 hours yearly and I’m at ~1,500 hours and I think I’ll hit 150-180hours this month. What will happen if I don’t hit my targeted amount by the end of my year.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Mother’s Day gift ideas?

I get depressed and irritated most jobs I work for at the 3 month mark..:

I love watching Grace and Frankie 🙈
Anyone else?

Just watched Humankind on Netflix. Its about editing genes, CRISPR CAS9 and so on. The thought was posed "imaging having the body of a 25 year old with the experience of a 130 year old." This thought is so seductive to me that I would be a test subject.

I wanna see the Foo Fighters but I’m lame and don’t have anyone to go with 😭😭😭 I’m about to say screw it and go by myself.

Sometimes I walk around my house calling my dogs name, pretending I don’t see him, even though he’s right there on the couch. I walk around “searching” for him. It makes me happy because my dog then tries to cuddle and jump on me as if to show me “hooman, what’s wrong with your eyes? Is I invisible?”

How does having a cute puppy actually help guys get girls? Is it more effective than having a sports car?

I have a flight tomorrow at 11PM. I can’t wait to get to the lounge at 5 and get HAMMERED with all that free booze. Hope I’m not denied boarding

I have no idea what I’m doing. Life is a little overwhelming, and I want to keep growing as a professional but in a different direction than where I’m at right now. Switching careers and industries is so difficult. Props to those who’ve broken into their first job after a career change!

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

I’m hoping my anti-depressants will help give me a kick to start looking for a new job. I honestly don’t have anything else left and I’m still sad.

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

I get significantly more likes on bumble BFF than I do on bumble dating

I hate going to the Apple Store nowadays.

My lazy trait is sometimes i throw away dishes because i don’t feel like cleaning them.

Is it common to get more and more conservative after highschool? Throughout high school I considered myself a leftist even at one point liking Bernie. But now over time I see myself getting more conservative. ( Not the anti mask/ anti vax kind) I seem to align myself more and more with individuals like Romney. Is this common?

Beer is now cheaper than gas. Drink more, drive less 🤧

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family. I love my family and dread the thought of being far from them. My SO has been transparent about wanting to return to his home country. I don’t want to lose him but I also dread being far from my family. What’s the right call here? Fwiw he’s lived in my home country for about a decade now but has been able to visit his pretty easily (cont)
