Senior MDs ganging up on me (in a new role) on some false accusations (although, we could have done better) on my project saying was handled badly. Boss is out. What can I do?

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'.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

Our associates are billing like 130-140 a month and are complaining about being stressed and overworked. The partners for the most part are billing more than associates as a result.

It's getting harder to make sure the associates feel heard and understood while also being overwhelmed myself with worth that I can't assign to them.
