Also this is investment banking. Man (or woman) up and hold your ground. If you're being honest about the situation, pushing back firmly and respectfully with facts and an honest assessment of how your project was aligned to objectives and put the onus on them. This isn't an elementary school- there are no participation trophies. Respect is earned

Take it on the chin. Respect is often earned in these scenarios, when the going gets tough the value of a man (or woman) is how you deal with it. I agree with MS1, the MDs have better things to do than to gang up on you and there must be an underlying point they're trying to make. If you run to another job, you won't earn the same respect as if you tackle the issue head on, figure out what message they're trying to send and fix it!

Have you ever thought maybe they are right, you are probably not good enough for the job. I would suggest you take a attitude of learning from the lesson, try not to think other senior people accuse on you. To it in another way, those people normally don't have that kind of time or interest to 'gang up against you'.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle?

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job.

I recently joined Capgemini at 13.5 LPA along with 1 lakh as joining bonus. It was a jump from 6.5 and I have 4 YOE with 2 yrs in React JS
Two questions that's been bothering me -

Did I settle for less as I can see people taking even bigger jumps with less experience?

My joining date was 15 September, so am I eligible for upcoming appraisal as the annual review is due by October 14 and I have just joined a project?

Please share your insights as I have looked for advice everywhere else.

Ever since I was a student I’ve always found the accounting jokes mildly humorous, and the weird “selling” personas kind of off-putting.

Would you hang out with management at your firm if you met them as a stranger? I always find it weird when you see that person who kisses partner butt, just to get a seat at an awkward dinner where the partner interrogates you about work stuff.

There are interesting people at work, but I feel like they are in the minority.
