What ways have you found to criticise and feedback on a colleagues work that generates a positive conversation? (Note: I was asked to feedback on a project, but I don’t think they were expecting the level of feedback and they were bent out of shape) I appreciate why but I felt it had to be done to get the work into better shape for the client.

Hi All, For B8 position having 8 years of experience in Project Manageme ,how much should someone quote and negotiate with the HR.

Hello Fishes,

I got a mail from LTI HR to share my documents as I cleared technical rounds and they are proceeding with my profile. Need some idea before HR discussion in below points.

1) Does LTI offer any variable pay ?
2) Do they provide relocation & air-fare reimbursement (irrespective of grade/band) ?
3) I don't want any specifics but how is Citi Bank production support project ? If anyone working in this project please share experience.

Thanks in advance !

I received what appears to be a random email from an executive recruiter at a firm in NY. She has a client but can not disclose who it is at this time ( ie. Non disclosure agreement ). I sent my resume thinking not much of it. I just received an email saying that my “resume did not parse correctly into the Candidate Management System. In order to move forward, I need your ATS compatible resume ASAP. “
Why does this feel fishy to me? Can someone provide any additional insight

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

PE investment 🐠, how often do you do CDDs to actually diligence the asset and you would be happy if the report is not fully positive vs. you have already decided to acquire the asset and just need a positive report to convince the IC and lenders?

Do PE companies know that many CDD partners would make their team’s life miserable if the story is not positive because they think investment teams won’t work with them as often if they raise red flags? All T2 firms do it, many MBB partners do it too.

Pro tip: Never give off the perception to your manager that you have a fun life outside of work. Make them feel sorry for you otherwise they’ll inadvertently resent you for taking PTO or anything that makes it seem like you’re have fun outside of work. Trust me. Carry on.
