This is before Covid, but still on my mind. Client asked me what did I do on weekend, I said went outlet shopping, he’s like nice what did you get? I said xyz and this pair of jeans (that I was wearing). He said “nice, it makes your butt looks good”.
….?? What would be you say/do?

Say thanks and walk away hurriedly to show displeasure to his comment. That should convey to him not to make such comments going forward. If he continues, convey professionally that you do not appreciate comments about your looks and also mention to your leadership.

Just to add more context here: I was a stream lead and the client is my counterpart. He’s also 20 years older than me. I worked with him every day. He has complimented my hair and clothes before, but in a more generic way which I was fine with. But this…felt weird. I never did anything, but I felt uncomfortable the rest of the project and just wondering how else should I have handled it. What if this happens to one of my counselee? Would I recommend her to do nothing?

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?

what do you talk about in your 1:1s?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
