BDRs: Can I get some honest reviews and experiences from your time as a BDR? I’m making the pivot from 5 years in the sports industry (plus 2 years exp of direct sales at Spectrum). Just received an offer from Zoom ($21 an hour base. Seems low imo?) Negotiating this week and want to see if it’s worth it. Thanks everyone

Teams/Zoom optics concerns (limiting client:firm ratio on virtual calls) are limiting the quality of work and underlying relationship/trust building within and across engagement teams. Anyone else find it difficult to wait in the hallway for the second-hand outputs of big meetings?

Anyone done zoom whitening? Looking for a provider, my dentist only does bleaching trays.

Should I just directly Slack someone in Sloan adcomms asking them whether they’ll send admitted and/or enrolled student a gift? I was really looking forward to that book man.

What is typical of the hiring process at midsize or biglaw firms for lateral associates? In other words: how many rounds of interviews? how long are the interviews? do they ask for references, and if so, how many? are they Zoom, in-person, hybrid? if it's for a specifix practice area, are the questions area-specific or general "tell me about yourself" questions?

Anybody have experience with final round interviews at UBS for their internal consulting group? I have a final (3rd round) interview later this week and it's just a 30 minute skype interview with the US group leader to my understanding.

What boundaries do you have in place as a FL? I just started and I feel like a hot mess with too much to do (business things, new calls, client work, slack, multiple emails, timesheets 💀). I’m so tired.

I had a tentative hearing on a matter. The matter was settled and we asked the court to waive a hearing and just sign the order based on the papers. The court neither let us know they were waiving it nor gave us the time / zoom for the hearing.

Should I assume it's not happening? The hearing was supposed to be on Friday. I need to know if I have to prepare.

Pre-covid times were better. There was work, after-work, laughter, office crush, cribbing on traffic etc.. It was effortless in finding and connecting with new people. It has been over a month that I am in Hyderabad. I was excited to go to my new office, talk to managers and colleagues who never showed their heads on zoom meetings. Things have turned over. Nobody is interested to come to office anymore. Social life is almost equal to zero. I was happier at hometown with parent around.

@new hires! What would you want to do in a virtual happy hour? (Not having one isn’t an option so pls don’t say that lol)

A department lead (my level) has a rude communication style on Slack, criticizing work on public channels. However in a live conversation he’s great to work with. I called him out saying I wanted us to stop bickering on Slack esp as leaders and he shouldn’t bring morale down publicly this way. His response was around “I communicate however I want / the employees should get the message straight / they shouldn’t be coddled.” 🤦 What would you respond to that? We’re talking live soon. Cont

Anyone else hate the idea of taking an in person depo now? Zoom is so convenient although I do miss the travel time and billing.

After 3 months of having to use mobile Skype instead of desktop I can say the only good thing about it is I can ignore messages and people will just think it didn’t go through. Otherwise it’s garbage.

Consulting. They say you don’t do it for your client. You don’t do it for the miles or perks. You don’t even do it for your comp. You do it for the guys either side of you, your engagement team, your band of brothers.

Do you agree?
