Signed up for an alumni networking event tonight and now I’m dreading it and want to skip but I’ve been in my apartment all day 😓 what do?

I’m currently in internal audit and hate it. I got a job offer to joint another practice within my firm and the work itself sounds very appealing. The only major drawback is 80-100% travel. Thoughts?

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Any insight to Critical Mass? What’s the work like? The people? Agency? Etc thanks fishies!

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

My HR rep told me that to apply for your CPA license in MA you only need 1 year of work experience, not 2009 billable hours. Didn't sound right- can anyone confirm/deny?

Does your firm form leadership group trainings? We usually do every summer but we are starting one these last 2 months. We usually read books or watch something and then discuss. If you do them, do you think they are effective?

Any freelancing opportunities for digital marketing people.

I’m a 4th-year at a midsize firm doing mostly oil and gas work, but I’m looking to change practice areas so I can get away from a dying/morally problematic industry and move into EC/VC, Corporate, tech transactions, and/or privacy and cybersecurity (have CIPP/US & /E). I’m not having much luck with recruiters or applying directly to firms and companies, so I’m thinking of hiring a career coach to help me hone my applications, cover letters, etc. Any suggestions?

What does QRMTE - expectations not met signify? How does it affect?

@Vialto Partners is any working for Vialto London? How are you enjoying it so far looking to move there but not sure.

I have got an email from a recruiter that she’ll be sending my CV to the hiring manager. Can someone please help me understand the recruiting process for S&O lead role? From a previous post, I understand that there will be following interviews:

Screening
Role related
Case
Googlyness
Cognitive ability

What is the content of these interviews? What do they look for? How can I prepare? I don’t have much technology my background, so a little worried going into the interview. Any advice please?

How does one go about switching countries while staying in similar roles? Eg moving from NA to EU, similar role/L-level?
I understand factors like previous perf results, and immigration laws. Do people do this? Can someone share their experience (own/anecdotal)?

anyone have an chiropractor they would recommend in the city? please also let me know the cost per sesh and/or if they take insurance!

too ambitious to seek a 1-bed EV / stuy town on 100K ? If you have a success story please share (or send BK recs)

Important question! Any strategies for getting out of work zoom happy hours? Other than ignoring requests and not showing up, which has been my MO so far. But it’s getting a bit awkward.

Oh, the beauty of the solo Sunday brunch ☺️🍳

Sometimes I struggle with the balance between “pushing myself out of comfort zone” and “being comfortable with who I am”. Anyone feel the same way?

Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

Hello fellow introverts! How is 2022 treating you all so far? I am eagerly seeking for an exit out of consulting :)

It takes me time to warm up & connect to new people, esp. in casual settings. Anyone any strategies how to deal with that? I see I am missing out on good and deeper connections.

What do you do to be aware what peers and others outside your circle are up to?

Never thought I’d say this, but virtual happy hours are WAY worse than hanging out with your team in a bar. At least in person you can circulate.

I have a love-hate relationship with DU.

Best headphones for air travel?

My Bose QuietControl 30’s fell apart this week. In the market for a replacement. What do my fellow introverts recommend for blocking noise on airplanes?

Any tips for how to make internal networking feel more natural? I know face time without a specific client need is important, but I can't find a way to make it feel authentic.

A few extravert friends texted me over the weekend, panicking about WFH mandates and being socially isolated. I do not share their pain! Nice of them to care, though ❤️

How do I get more involved in team room conversations? Any practical tips? I have good comebacks in my head just have trouble voicing them

I hate giving presentations. Any tips for feeling (or at least looking) comfortable and confident?

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.

I get really giggly when I’m nervous, and laugh at basically everything anyone says. It makes me appear quite immature in front of client & coworkers... Any tips on how to calm my nerves?
