What's the best way to give feedback to leadership when there is fear of retaliation and that they will turn it around on me?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

Agreed to serve as local counsel for another attorney in my firm (different office). Answered complaint and then the case fell off the rails. Turns out firm has a conflict of interest that was missed in initial check, client has been instructed to retain a new attorney, court has ordered us to withdraw and client to produce documents by Wednesday. I keep reaching out to the attorney who I am assisting to ask if I can file my withdrawal and for the name of the new attorney and nothing. (Cont.)

How do I set myself up for success in the first 30 days of my new EA role? What questions should I be asking? How often should I be meeting with my executive? 2-3 times a week or daily morning touch base calls?

Dealing with other humans feels like the most difficult part of work. How do you guys go about keeping everybody on your side while doing great work too?

Who at your Firm do you most admire and wish to emulate as you progress through your career? Include traits/actions of the person. Or an anecdote that highlights what you admire about them.

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man). We were chatting and I mentioned that my brother’s future husband is so nice and really a great guy, and we already consider him a member of our family. Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

Had a steamy dream about my manager last night and now I can't look at him the same.

Hey fam, exiting to industry (finance & fintech). I haven’t updated my wardrobe in literally FOREVER, and wanted your recommendations for good business casual / business formal clothing brands and inspiration.

How do you feel while interviewing? I always feel self conscious and think of ways to make myself be more masculine by altering the way I talk and use body language.

Can’t tell if I’m developing crushes on my coworkers only because they’re the only people I interact with (on zoom) in quarantine 😬

I have a manager that does not seem to understand mental illnesses, disorders, etc. He thinks I am making excuses rather than trying to explain things (I have diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression) and I’m trying to take ownership for issues but also help him understand what I am describing better as well. We are sitting down for a conversation later this week. Any advice on how to gently educate or help with his understanding of neurodivergence and other mental health considerations?

I wish I didn’t have to spend so much of my life asking my partners in other departments to do their jobs. That’s my daily complaint, thank you for listening.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

What are my chances of successfully winning a racial discrimination claim? I manage a Data Science group, for months I’ve had serious difficulties getting anything approved by finance (more than any other department in the agency), last week the CFO finally snapped at me on an email that started to itch the expression “My Guy” where he then proceeded to demand excellence of me, etc… We are piers and we have never had a relationship. Thoughts?

Does anyone sometimes just want to shake their clients??? It's not my fault you decided to have kids with an asshole, please don't scream at me when you can't kick them out of your life because they're mean to you.

Do you think the military industry is sexist? I met more women in the air force than in other companies and none of them is a very high rank

I want to thank my manager (she/her) as eoy nears - any holiday gift reco that might not seem overboard but still shows gratitude?

After 12 rounds of me vs my adhd - its still a LOVE/HATE relationship. I conclude I’m in the wrong career as a result. I love being smart, excelling, having random super human skills. But my career/stalemate with my own mind makes me feel like I am the biggest loser fuck up ever. All the time. I 1000% understand why work isn’t working out. I empathize for all involved > they probs deserve. Thrilled to figure this out but OH F$CK this is gonna get BAD bad before it gets fixed. Commiserate?

When you're so unhappy at work that you get diagnosed with depression.

The number of times I’ve said “Thanks” when I actually meant “F*** me, I guess I have to do this”...

I sometimes wonder what goes on under the skin of those "perfect, well-dressed, good-looking, high-performing, never-stressed" usually male attorneys. I get the impression that many are hiding things.

Could anyone comment on the data science / ML opportunities at BAH? I'm trying to get my hands dirty with leveraging deep learning in defense, or recommendation algorithms to catch bad actors for the government. I wanted to guage if the work is really there, or if it is hyped up?

Hi Folks,

I need some help in deciding whether to switch. I am a fresher with 3 months of experience at a funded PBC. Current base is 9 LPA. The work and the team are really great, and I have a mentor who can comfortably focus on me for the foreseeable future.

I also recently cracked another offer of 13 LPA base at one of the Unicorns. I am really torn between running after good pay or learning from a good mentor, it's so early in my career.

I could use some advice from the senior folks.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Wait! Most people in this group aren’t mbb! So, this group isn’t how we can network and figure our next steps?

I want to find a finance job in Europe that pays at least $100k USD but all of the postings are either half of this amount.. or will reject my application. Any thoughts on good companies to go to as a financial analyst? I’d be willing to go around $80k if it meant relocating. I have about 3 years of experience.

Got a verbal offer from a big agency a week ago and HR said written offer will come by EOD but no email. They did background check last week. Followed up last week no response, what would you do?

Contracting fees - how did you come up with them? I figured out a baseline that I would need, but is nearly half of what my friend charges for freelance. am I missing something?

I’m in my late 30s i’ve had a mix of industry and agency experience in strategy. At what age do you get labeled “ The agency guy” which makes it difficult to transition back to in-house? 

What career options are there for someone wanting to leave that agency social/display life? What type of keywords are best to use when searching on a site like Indeed?

Would companies be annoyed if I decided a position wasn’t a good fit for me after going through the final round of interviews or received an offer from them?

I’m graduating next spring and am starting to reach ut to recruiters to build some connections, whats the best way to do it? What do i even write? Should i gush and flatter them or play it a bit cool? I’m so lost. Advice much appreciated💕

How do you overcome a present 'gap' in resume (few months to a year) to prevent it being eliminated by recruiters' screening?

My teammate and I don’t seem to be a good fit. I’m trying my best to bring a lot to the table, always “yes &”, they just aren’t open to collaborate conceptually.

Started w the “tough crap, make it work” mindset, but it’s fading.

Some mentors and friends in the industry suggest I ask for a new partner. Is that something that’s feasible for a junior to ask? If so, how do I even go about doing that? Our agency currently has established teams, there isn’t much mixing and matching going on.

Is there a polite way to ask which role/post someone is reaching out to you for? I've been spamming apps out there (~2-3/day) for the last month or 2 and this company reaching out doesn't ring a bell.

Has anyone ever used a business/executive coach?

I’ve been a Digital Content Strategist for 4 years and I want to take the next step, so I’m wondering whether coaching is worth it.

Just started at an agency out of college last month. The agency is experiencing layoffs and my team was cut in half. I’m not sure that I would want to stay, does it look bad to leave so quickly?

It’s only been a week and a couple of days and I’m already dreading work for the rest of the 300 plus days of the year. It’s not my company ( mostly) it’s the industry I’m in. I think it’s just wrong
