Thoughts on men wearing earrings in office/work environments?
I know it’s traditionally been viewed as “unprofessional”, but is this starting to phase out as firms become more progressive?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

Someone tell me why a partner just took me to lunch as a "Thanksgiving treat" and he took me to Taco Bell

Hi there

I am in need of some serious advice. I have been continuously harassed, ridiculed and spoken down to by a coworker who’s now even “threatened” to get me fired etc. We do not have an HR department and the only manager I can go to is also mistreated and not taken seriously. What do I do? I’m terrified.

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

Hey Guys,

Do you face any discrimination at your workplace if you reveal your identity. Or during interviews if they ask about your marital status post 30s?

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Let’s talk suits. Do you have any thoughts on a junior associate wearing an expensive suit or a suit that departs from the norm (eg subtle pinstripe navy suit, or a suit with larger lapels/peaked lapels?). I’m thinking about upgrading my suit, but I don’t want to piss anyone off with a suit screaming the message “I’ve made it” when I’m just a junior associate. Perhaps it’s just all in my head and no one actually cares.

Just started a new job a couple of weeks ago and also today found out my wife's pregnant. When is an appropriate time to tell my new boss? Company policy asks for 3 months notice but it's a growing startup. What does everyone think is appropriate?

As a fresher have you ever been on the receiving end of office politics/indirect negative comments from your seniors. If so, how did you deal with it?

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone has any book recommendations that teach you how not to get overly emotional with work? I found myself getting irritated/ frustrated/ stressed often and I think these emotion gets in the way for me to put out my best performance. So looking for advice

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

What is the most memorable thing a client has ever said to you?

I work for a small company and my manager got fired this morning...

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

I’ve noticed that many LGBTQ+ people make a point of “coming out” to co-workers or clients when initially introducing themselves. I’ve seen many partnered people do this by working in a casual mention of their significant other, which I’ve always thought was so clever and works even in a largely virtual work environment. As a single person though, it’s something I’ve struggled to do. What are other ways that you “come out” to co-workers and/or clients from initial introductions (or later on)?

Confession: I used to have a F co-worker who had bad body odor (the raw type that can be masked with deodorant or good hygiene). Others including F co-workers were making fun of her behind her back. I knew she would take it some type of way coming from a M co-worker but I sent her an email about it to avoid any type of face to face awkwardness. Contd in comments...

Confronting colleagues? Yes or no ? On a side note, any book recommendations for handling workplace situations

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.

90 Days notice period has 2 phases.

Initial phase - Candidates struggling to get interview calls.

Ending phase - Companies struggling to match a higher offer.

30 days notice period can really solve everyone's struggle.

Any working or has worked in Factspan Analytics?

Hi Guys,

Received offer from Fidelity investment. They mentioned “services are liable to be terminated during or at the expiry of probation or extended period of probation “ there’s no positive term as confirmation.

How about job security at Fidelity?

Also do they pay variable pay as promised?

If anyone know about this company please share your thoughts

Hi all! ISO short term sublease (Dec. 27th - Jan. 1st). If anyone knows of anything, would appreciate a heads up! Thanks :)

Current TC: 200k
Net worth: 300k, readily available 170k in stocks, hysa and cash
Current rent: 2000 per month

Wonder if anyone has any excel model or a rule to determine how much I can afford or should go for?

Anyone waiting for a call from Ross today?

What are the main factors folks are considering as they make a decision? Solely ranking, money, just curious! Got into two T20 that are very different but see myself at both.

Just wanted to share that I feel completely burnt out from double teaming applications and work and if anyone else out there feels burnt out, you’re not the only one!! Good luck fishes, may the odds be ever in our favor.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

Hi there worker fishes

I'm a self driven student in my final year looking for opportunities in ML, I've had previous experience at startups etc.

Do you know of any companies I should look out for? (off campus ofc)

🐟🐟

I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

I’m interviewing for a position with EY FAAS in NYC. Can anyone speak to what the environment and people are like?

Tips for professionally quitting current role? Here's what I'm thinking, feel free to pick it apart!
-Schedule a call with boss, on a Thursday since my last day I'm planning will be two Thursdays later
-On the call tell boss I'm resigning and thank for his leadership and the opportunity I've had
-Send the letter to him right after the call
-This is where it gets fuzzy... Do I go ahead and the send letter to HR as well? Do I tell other coworkers before official announcement goes out?

American looking for Servicenow international work in development; anybody know where to really look for solid opportunities for international hires?

Raise your hand if you are surviving the holiday season! 🙋‍♀️

Early 30s, Female, Texas. Indian Ethnicity. HMU!

Can you get licensed as CFA with audit and financial due diligence experience? The 4 year requirement is a little broad and wasn’t positive.

Consumed with negativity and unhappiness. How do you stay positive when faced with unrealistic deadlines and mean managers!?

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol.

Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

Females - do you typically put your hair in a ponytail or leave it down for an interview?

Relocating to Stamford CT in a few months. Any suggestions on the area- food, nice places to explore on weekends, etc? Also looking for an apartment (1br/studio, max base rent ~1,500) if anyone has rented there!

Who else skipped the holiday party at your office? Some of you fuckers are the last thing I wanna see after spending all day dealing with your bullshit.

How does Accenture compare to the bigger 3 consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG & Bain)?

Does anyone know a ballpark for comp in MCOL-HCOL for an S1 in BDO ARAS?

I’m in tax and failed REG for the second time... it was by a few points, but still. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Super bummed out but taking it again soon Hopefully third time’s a charm 🙏🏼

Can anyone give me an overview of what to expect working for a family office? Would this be a good career move if I have a CPA and am looking to break into financial services?

What would you do?

Industry accountant with 5 YoE, can move into senior position with $100k base, or lateral move into big 4 as associate in assurance AWM.

Interested in capital markets, PE, investment...Senior role is unreleated to these industries while PA role could potentially open doors? Just would hate not getting that salary bump after I can finally start seeing some real money after 5 years.....

Also potential advisory role in regional firm but nothing concrete...

I was in audit for about 4 years then switched to provisions. I’m now 7 years in and want a more steady schedule. I like the client aspect of public accounting, flexibility and mentoring/training younger associates, but feel pretty meh about tax in general. I’m not doing another busy season even if that means leaving without a job lined up. What does a person do in this situation?

I'm in downstate NY and looking at promotion to Supervisor. Trying to get an idea of a good salary raise. Any thoughts on average salary for supervisor?

I know this is a lot for fishbowl but I recently experienced a very traumatic sexual assault. It is almost impossible to keep it together &I’m having a very hard time getting work done. Any advice?

I started interviewing elsewhere and it’s moving much faster than i expected. I could have an offer next week, my busy season officially ends until 12/15. How bad am i burning brides leaving on 11/4?

TRACK is hard to use!!! It is so messy.

Does the MM comp for FDD compare to Big4? Looking to try there from FAAS

Do Marriott Gold Elite no longer have lounge access?

I always bill 100% of my time and for my entire career in public accounting I have never heard anything negative until recently.. I was told to watch my time as the client doesn’t like to pay these fees, and the partner is unhappy because it looks like I have high hours. Is the message that I should eat my time? Or is it that They think I’m inefficient?
