What job boards are people using to find work? LinkedIn & indeed are no longer working for me.

Hi All,

I recently obtained my law degree and currently work for a BigLaw law firm as an assistant. I want to make the transition to the firm’s Litigation department because I want to practice international arbitration. How do I approach my HR department as well as the litigation bosses about transitioning to litigation? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Any suggestions for Group Account Director roles in the area? I’m exploring relocating from NY with experience at big and small agencies. I have reviewed previous posts on this topic, but any news?

It’s time to recognize the agencies who have — and have not — made any sort of pledge or progress in support of BLM.

My agency is making salary cut backs cause of covid-19. Whole agency at 80%. Because I'm on a junior salary in Manchester that means 80% is less than minimum wage. Do I have any rights?

I find myself not wanting to put the extra time in at the office, especially after traveling for depositions and court appearances. Any one else?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

How to be good at Sales and have a charismatic personality?
Any words of wisdom? Any great books to read? Any other recommendations?

Anyone have a good office chair recommendation? Really not trying to spend more than $150 but willing to go to $200 if there is a really good recommendation.

Thanks!

You’re given 5 minutes where your dog can speak/understand English. What would you say to him/her?

Anyone have a recommendation for stinky dog breath? Clean bill of health, “perfect teeth” according to the vet. Pup gets VetriScience powder for dental health and still - it reeks.

I’ve heard of water supplements but not sure if they help. Admittedly, could be better about brushing his teeth.

What is the fastest way to sponsor a pup?

How’s everyone holding up?

IFS rocks!! Missing my PwC peeps! 😢 😊 Wish you all a happy 2020!

Anyone get into defi? Projects seem to have better use cases than older altcoins, but I don’t know where to start

Would you rather get an MBA from any program of your choosing (all loans) or guaranteed 130K/year, 40 hours a week until you retire (no chance for raises/bonuses)?

Day 5 in consulting:

Is there an email I can use to contact delta?

Just started my 10 straight days of the “no pants dance”! Otherwise known as a remote week. Haven’t had one in a very long time.

Thoughts on EW MBA from Booth/Kellogg/Haas. Currently SC at Deloitte and want to transition to tier 1 consulting firms

Any idea how to save contacts locally on iPhone? About to leave my current job and don’t wanna lose these contacts once IT removes my account.. urgent please

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

Those who applied to JD or MBA (current interest in former) while working full time... What did the process look like and what was the timeline for you? How was studying for LSAT/GRE/GMAT and doing apps while doing consulting work? How did it turn out?? I don’t know anyone going through the process and could really benefit learning your experiences, what to expect and what not. Thank you in advance!!

Random Friday question: In your time as a consultant, how many client email addresses have you had?

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

I'm trying to buy a bigger than normal whiteboard for my home office: any recommendations?

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

Any idea why EY is not on the list of Vault 50 top consulting firms but it is on the prestigious list?

Has anyone moved states and changed their home office / region? (Personal choice not project driven)....If so, what's the process? What approvals are needed?

"You can't get rich working for someone else" the truth of this statement has started to sink in over my first two years on the job (and out of school). What's stopping many of you young folks without

Investment gurus - Appreciate pointers for resources (books, blogs, videos etc.) to read up on investment strategies. Just getting started and could use all the help. 🙏

Would anyone from Big 4, MBB, and Kearney be willing to give me some idea on why I’m not getting any first round interviews? Even with referrals I can’t even get a phone screen. I have great work experience with documented success. But it is 2 years of FT, 1 year of internship, and just graduated from a non-target MBA. Is it I’m asking for too much for associate? I’m currently at 140 base and am asking only just to match my base. Or is my experience not enough for senior associate?

So I have two jobs I’m in the running for at the same company. Position A offered basically the same comp that I’m making now, and I’m still waiting on the results for Position B. Position A would like an answer by tomorrow AM (I was told today, I asked for more time and they said no). Would you guys ever take a job at the pursuit of trying to switch internally in the company?

It’s always been a company that I’ve wanted to work at but making the same that I’m making now is what is stopping me

Are you partial to the folks who are attractive or look younger than you? 🙃🤐
