One of my biggest issues at work is simply hearing people on calls. Between terrible skype connections and rough accents, I use much of my thinking power having to simply comprehend what is being said

Hi!! Are there any admins where who work on a trading floor? Im interviewing for an administrative role on a trading floor in Manhattan. Looking for tips on what to wear - is it pretty similar to a “hedge fund dress code?”

I get the vibe a lot of women in the consulting world are bisexual. 🧐 At the end of a client dinner tonight a married partner (female) started to get aggressive and a little too touchy. I pushed her off and said see you in the morning. Im conflicted, reach out to HR or let it go. The whole encounter was unprofessional and inappropriate.

Better to have more suits or sport coat slack combos?

Have you ever had sexual relations with a coworker at the office or client site?

My coworkers and I want to report someone to HR but they are best friends with the one HR person that handles stuff like that...

(Other HR person is strictly payroll/holidays/benefits)

Do y’all ever get forced to send an email by a manager, SM or Partner about something that you just cringe asking the client for. Been staring at this email for 10 min and can’t believe I have to ask this.

At work do you ever describe who you’re dating without using gender specific pronouns just to avoid finding out if a co-worker is going to act weird about it? Lol

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

When the second year associate thinks he gets brownie points for volunteering to stay at client Thursday night/Friday.

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

If anyone needs a chuckle, Client requested me off engagement because I’m a “snitch” for reporting audit misstatement to senior manager/partner. The crap we deal with sometimes...

applied out of state, several skype interviews, then ghosted for several weeks. handful of unanswered followups over a month and finally heard back setting time to talk tomorrow. good sign/in my head?

!! Working on a project with two ladies that are twins. Both same position and same responsibilities. Isn’t that weird as f***?

Any plus size ladies willing to share where you go to get your favorite professional looking clothes for work or interviews?

Attention Woke White People: Don’t be this woke white person.

Laid off in April. Asked my ACD for final comps of my work for my portfolio. She told me it hadn’t gone public but to check back. I hit her up in May. Nothing. I hit her up in June. Nothing. I hit her up in August. Ignored...ignored...ignored in three separate texts. Finally emailed and mentioned reaching out to the C-level executives and like magic, boom! I get the work in 20 minutes flat.

Don’t post BLM stuff if you’re a d*ck.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Anyone else getting conflicting messages on whether it is permissible to use Zoom with federal agencies? Some are insisting on using it (MSPB), some are saying absolutely can't use it (DHS, USDA).

Any good books or suggestions to improve communication skills to speak confidently with executive or leadership. Many times I end up blabbering and having unstructured discussion.

What is the best tool for hiring teachers?

Are third party recruiters for top hedge funds legit?

What is Deloitte's GC policy for someone joining as an experienced hire with an approved I140. How soon do they start the GC process again?

Currently in a process with Google for a sales/Strategic BDM role. The recruiter won’t give any clear indication on either level or salary range for the position, and I live in the Nordics where there is little to no information on salary ranges for FAANG.
Any idea on what I can expect and should ask for?

I had just 3 rounds completed and my last round was with all the team members. Can we expect more rounds moving forward? Or this was the final?

Looking for a monthly parking pass around the fulton river west area (near the Jewel on Des Plaines). If anyone knows of a place that has availability or aren’t using their pass that I can rent, let me know!

I’m notoriously bad with “aesthetic” and design. I’ve hired all my vendors, including lighting and florals, but am now starting to think through what other decorations/logistical items are needed - signage, dessert table trays, guest book, bar top, etc... whenever I google how to start thinking about wedding decorations all the sites are just telling me to rent linens vs buy frames, which... isn’t helpful. How is everyone else here tackling this?!

Any recs on a good office chair for the back? Looking to spend <$350

I haven’t gotten a single nibble on my remote in-house applications. Are there certain states that living there would make me an automatic no? I have seen some companies list certain states you must live in and my state is never on the list. I don’t apply to those, but other descriptions don’t list states, and I do apply to those jobs.

For background checks... who do you guys use and would you be willing to share monthly membership fee/cost per check? I currently use HireRight and have been happy overall... but I don't feel that it's very competitive at $48/check. Thanks in advance!

So funnily I have been hired by a big tech firm, and the MD who let me go at a big 4 consulting firm is the global lead of partner alliances for the same tech platform. Should I be happy at this irony or worried he will mess my career at my new workplace? Hesitating to update my LinkedIn profile for these reasons…

While I understand that the refugees are in a bad situation, why is the focus on them and not our military personnel and better supporting them? Airbnb is providing housing for refugees but not homeless veterans who have lost loved ones and suffer from physical and mental scars of serving in Afghanistan. We need to make sure we don’t have a Vietnam situation where we don’t take care of our service members when they come back.

Any candid insight from those who went from a big firm (Deloitte, Accenture, etc) to Slalom? How are you enjoying the technical projects and do you often have to drive to a client?

Looking to switch into F&EP consultant role at Deloitte. Any recommendations?

Would you move to another country for a FAANG product manager role? I would be leaving all my family and friends but wouldn’t have this opportunity in home country (and it would be a good experience)

My firm does frequent surveys to employees about the company culture, personal challenges, frustrations, etc. Are these really anonymous? I mostly just lie on them because im scared of something coming back to me but I do want to be honest. Thoughts? I don’t imagine it’s actually anonymous

Anyone else find it easier to work after normal hours when you’re “offline”? I would be so much faster if people would stop pinging/emailing me throughout the day

There are way too many cooks in the kitchen on this proj. Getting pinged left and right for status on X Y Z, inputs to decks, etc., by mgmt across the board allllll day and everything is URGENT (I don’t buy it), on top of my job itself. Tips for managing?

If you quit your job and don't start the new one until 2 months later, how long is your old health insurance still active for?

Advances in dry shampoo have made it entirely too easy to say "fuck it... I'll shower tomorrow" after getting 4 hours of sleep in the name of a deck that will be under utilized.
