Spoke late last week with a MD about potentially transferring to her practice. She mentioned that she would speak to a couple other partners. I am super excited. I want to follow up already. Too soon?

I’d give it til next week. Sometimes timing and positioning is everything. Follow up next week to confirm your interest and as a gentle reminder 😉

So “late last week” means Thursday or Friday, and today is....Monday. Definitely too soon.

There are a lot of moving parts (and people) involved in changing groups so you need to give it some time. It can take months to successfully transfer groups as poaching is a big no no, so there is protocol that has to be followed.

Patience is key.

Def wait till early next week. I hope it works out for you! I was in the same situation with partner and SM support and was still given the run around for months. Hopefully you’re not in audit because they will cling to you with everything they’ve got.

Nope! In advisory

Hi all! Following! What would be the ideal time to follow up? 2 weeks?

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
