Heads up. The Bar just emailed out invitations for two free online CLEs in the first week of may. I've been doing these Zoom courses as they are offered and it's going to significantly reduce my end of the year stress.

What business communication platform is being used in your organisation?

For example, Fujitsu uses Microsoft Teams.

A coworker (diff depts) and I realized we live in the same neighborhood after running into each other on the street. We started talking more in the office and he ended one convo with “we should get drinks sometime”. I gave him my number via slack and said to hit me up when he wants to get together. Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone figured out a good way to keep hearings public? I'm trying to figure out if I can get the courts to post zoom links for hearings somewhere.

“Wow is there a shortage of ties going on or what”

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Does anyone have a good way to utilize Microsoft Teams for tracking cases?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Has anyone seen good engagement strategies for teams or slack? Looking for ways to increase engagement in an innovative way.

I’m a first-year associate. I love tattoos; the ones I have are covered. I want to get one on the back of my neck. I don’t face clients except on Zoom, is it still a bad idea? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Zoom Passover Seder plans? What are you all doing?

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

Slightly embarrassing, but in the past 2 years at my firm I have actually gone by a shortened version of my first name as many people outside my ethnic background have difficulty pronouncing it in full.

Is it true that restructuring/turnaround engagements can get very hostile given the type of work this industry is in (distressed)? Management not being cooperative, overall environment very depressing, internal politics, fraud, management not being cooperative, pressure to deliver quickly, debtor/creditors screaming at each other, etc. Understand this may vary project to project, but is this common?

Am currently not in restructuring but am looking to enter in the future.

Any KPMG EA's here? What is the culture like?

One executive I support wants to share his location/whereabouts with me through the Apple app, "Find My." He wants me to know whereever he is so we are right beside each other.

Would you feel comfortable? Or am I overthinking this? To me, I don't care where he is.

Am just wondering if this is an appropriate request to ask an EA?

Fishers, any tip to apply and ace for a role that you have zero experience? I have more than 10 years of experience as EA and want to move to OM/admin manager role however most companies only hire those with minimal 3-5 years of experiences.

Questions for my fellow EAs out there:
1. How many of you travel for your job? If so, are there stipulations?
2. My team is having an 2-day offsite meeting in another city and many folks outside of our team are all traveling in for it. Some are only attending for an hour. My exec told me yesterday I couldn’t attend (after weeks of asking him), citing that we couldn’t have excessive hours of OT (maybe 4 hrs). I do not feel valued as a team member.
Should I bring it up or let it go?
