I thought Accounts had an actual job to do.

I thought Account Teams existed to make my life hell. Then I had a succession of great Account Teams and came to realize what a team can accomplish when it works together. Don't get me wrong, Account still occasionally gets under my skin-I'm just better prepared to help them help me.

Lots of other roles get under my skin too, LOL:) It's exactly what FCB said - if great and competent people and team work who cares about each other's roles, then it's the best. I've sat with all folks on my teams to understand what they do, I've had art folks be shocked I want to see how some things work in Photoshop, I've had others in team thank heavens they don't have to do what I do because they couldn't deal with it, etc. It's about humility and also not discounting other people's job just because you don't understand what they do or where they're coming from and it's about genuinely caring to help solve a situation or issue

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
