If you’re the same person that posted about class rings I’d suggest as a new hire and new consultant it’s better to not seem pretentious. Go with the client vibe but dressing overly formal will give off bad taste especially to senior executives (they are rich and arnt impressed by fancy things)

I’d talk to the guy I mentioned about fly fishing. First job out of college and for 5 years he’d come up to me and show me pictures of various fish he caught over the weekend

I might be alone on this one but I think of them as tacky. Even if you’re wealthy and well into your career. Seems showy and flashy which to me signals tacky, maybe insecure. Again that’s just me.

I don’t attribute cuff links to being wealthy. It’s just a style preference

I like silk knots. Less pretentious and I get a fuller cuff.

Love cufflinks but never with a stone on them. Simple clip type ... elegant enough but nor too tacky

I love them. At the client though, it’s usually a matte silver or silk knots.

I’m w EM1 - Wedding/black tie event attire, do not wear at client site or at the office

All my white work shirts need cufflinks so I usually wear small simple ones or sometimes informal ones (scrabble pieces of my initials).

I have cufflinks with the shield of my college at university that I sometimes wear at formal occasions. It’s nice because the only people that notice them are people who recognise the college.

So I am at my first job after college. They lied about a lot of things. It is not diverse, it is not inclusive. Other issues is the management is clueless and I’m contemplating weather I should start looking for other jobs after only being here for 5 months. I would have to pay back relocation and bonus unless I stay here for 2 years. Any thoughts? I need advice on this

Hi all, I’ve been pondering this question in my mind for awhile and haven’t found any solid answers. How much is the average wage for a Prep Cook & Dishwasher? If it matters, I’m in Virginia. I’m in the process of learning to be a Line Cook so that should give me more courage to ask for a raise. I’m currently at $14/h, and with reduced hours, inflation isn’t helping me. Any insights will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?

My husband, who had a successful career but is not yet 40, wants to retire and look after our kids while actively investing our money. I enjoy consulting and will gladly keep working. We also have a good amount of savings, mostly fueled by our frugality during his peak earning years. I feel like I need to support my husband’s dreams while negotiating clear terms. Has anybody been down a similar path and have advice?
