This AE that I sense don’t like me keeps CCing my boss on EVERY single question she has to me… I made a mistake months ago by uploading the wrong version for check changes.. and now I feel like I’m being micromanaged by her. The ccing my boss on everything is getting out of hand. Someone was covering for her so I sent the file to that person and she then wrote me a message with my boss cced “where is there file” the cover person was on the chat too so they said “oh I have it already” 😬

I would, have that chain of record available for yourself like she’s obviously doing with you. I’ve played that game before and usually the other person backs down a bit when they get the same treatment back. Mutually Assured Email Destruction.

Let the chain (inc. the boss) know you're removing the boss henceforth so you don't flood their inboxes with details you should be handling.

So you've set it up like you're trying to be autonomous and not bog the bosses down with this back and forth, and if the AE adds the boss back in, they'll self destruct eventually.

We not here to cause problems. We're hired to make the boss' job easier.

That’s what I’m thinking… Im sure my boss can see what she’s doing and it’s really annoying at this point, so yeah I think she is not doing herself any favors

Gotta build a relationship with her. People don’t trust people they don’t know.

About to finish my second year as an associate in ny biglaw. Is the 2 year mark too early to move in house? I’m seeing a trickle of friends starting to move into clerkships/lateraling at this point.

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level.
