I honestly stopped correcting (writing my name in red and bold) and started misspelling their name (ex: Jeff vs Geoff, Katherine vs Kathryn). They got it together quickly after that.

Not at all. You don’t have to be a jerk about it and can nicely correct them. But if it repeatedly happens, don’t be afraid to stick up for yourself

It’s remarkable how firms always preach attention to detail yet no one can spell names correctly (despite them being right there in teams / outlook) when sending a message or email. It happens to me so often I’ve stopped trying to correct people lol

Not petty at all. Had this happen to me for a couple of weeks. First time, no big deal at all. Third and fourth times, really got on my nerves lol. I just addressed it politely. Person apologized and has spelled my name correctly since.

On a similar note: I joined a team into a more PM role and the offshore team members kept calling me the wrong name (someone on client side has a similar name). I was annoyed at first, but now the team members will call the client my name… whoops

The team members will correct each other on call.

Roommate(and close friend) and I got an opportunity to buy the condo we're renting. We'd talked about maybe buying it in a year or two and really love our place but we both graduated and started working in June/July.

Condo: 350k
Salaries: 90-100k for both of us
$1500/mo in rent each

Savings: $12k/$1k (covers 3.5% FHA)
Sister offered $8k loan for closing expenses

Debts:45k/25k After all expenses, debt payment, savings I usually have $1k/mo to spend - not sure on him

Can we do it?

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far.

I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.

I need help!!! Got an offer for Citi Private Bank at 110k for an Associate Banker (A1) position. Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
