Nice roper/cowboy boots with slacks and button down for a client in Houston? Or stick with normal oxfords?

Would be funny if you showed up the first day rocking the cowboy outfit when all your clients wear suits and ties.

Observe and follow their dress code

Ropers and slacks are fine

I live in Houston and see plenty of people across all industries with nice boots and dress slacks. It’s totally acceptable as long as you have nicer / dressy boots and not “work boots"

Check out Tecovas, they have some nice ropers

Would only try this after you’ve confirmed that they actually dress this way, and after you’ve established a relationship of trust and credibility with the client

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

I did what I thought was an informal info chat with a team about an opening. The team lead( Sr. Dir) called my VP who ended up calling me wondering what was happening. Why would the team lead do that? Is there benefit in asking him? Or is this a sign of his working style and what I consider low EQ.

So what’s the protocol on being harassed by a former employee - one that reported to you but that the company on the whole fired. For harassment, no less. This guy just can’t let it go after YEARS.

Definitely a new one for the client complaints log “when you email after hours I feel like we weren’t important enough for you to work on the account in the day”. Yeah that’s the reason.
