This guy told me recently that after vacation, he just deletes all the emails and messages he hasn’t read. “If it’s urgent people will find a way to bring it back up with you.” I lack the courage to try it. Feel you on Slack hallucinations 😑

Best part of having a work phone is that I don't expect slack/Outlook noise with my personal phone. It's good to keep things separate.

CD1, sad part is, I also don’t have notifications on my phone. Nor am I traveling with a computer. CURSES!!!!!

COO1 that’s boss and brilliant. I just might try that when I go back.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
