I sighed when the client presented more work/scope, I was not on mute (30+ people on call, with many directors from client company) . I’m thankful my sailor mouth didn’t follow with “oh fk off”.

I did that once. It was 8pm on a client interview and we were about to hang up before my client asked his stakeholder another question. I let out a very audible “fuuuuuucccckk”. They paused for 2 seconds, then kept talking.

Our call finished on time with everyone agrees that it’s Friday 🤯

I was talking but realized I was on mute the whole time! Wow - egg all over my face ammi right?? Kidding. Zoom is a terrible place and I have never once found anything funny there.

We’re currently transitioning from Skype to Teams. So we have both and when you’re presenting on one, it doesn’t turn the other to presentation mode. So I was presenting to a practice leader on teams and my relative who also works at KPMG Skyped me to say her ex tried to add her back on insta and slide into her DMs and then she wrote #thirsty and it all showed lol

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

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?
