On zoom presentations to clients, does everyone on your team you keep the camera on the whole time, or only when speaking/presenters?

During the the initial presentations - yes. But if I am talking to client for the 39th time I don’t bother switching on the camera as the client knows me. Most of my team is fine with that. Exception is when I am talking to C-level folks. Then I keep the camera on during all meetings.

Thanks!

Your director should have set expectations ahead of time. We’re 10 months into this. He/she should know better.

Once we’ve developed a rapport, I don’t see a point in turning on camera.

Yeah, no. If I’m not presenting or have any big role in speaking, my camera will be off

Depends on the context. During some large pitches, I’ve seen requests for only the speaker to have their videos on so there’s focus on that person. If there were only a few on the call you mentioned, I might have kept it on the whole time. Otherwise it feels like you were lurking or not interested. If this was a recurring meeting, camera off should have been fine.

Any Slack SEs here? I’m in conversation with a Slack recruiter for an SE role.

I see most cool startups have Slack and bigger enterprises have been getting swooped up by MS Teams because of cheaper pricing and not needing to buy Zoom. I personally like Slack more but how are current market conditions and how are y’all feeling? Slack Salesforce

Weird idea. Is there a way we could set up like a virtual work room? Like one where we're logged onto something like skype/messenger/Google meet/zoom/ZooRoom/Discord or something where we can all be working at night time, but at least not alone. It would mostly be silent, but misery loves company? I legit hate working alone for the whole day and then into the evening too.

Am I missing something? Last I read the research was VERY inconclusive.

Hi all,
I had an interview at an investment bank for a senior associate role. I had three interviews, the last one with an MD.

He mentioned he’s usually the rubber stamp and culture check fit and there are usually more rounds between my last and him. Sort of threw me initially but I think I recovered and it went okay? Have not heard for…
