You know what is kind of sad? I've now learned that this one SM I have looked up to for the last year is kind of a mess. Nobody is perfect. Time for a new role model. Oh well

Take the best parts of your mentors and try to emulate in your own way. Know they're human and so are you, too. The best people I've found as role models are those who strive for excellence for themselves and those around them, not those who think they are excellent.

No point in putting anyone on a pedestal. Maybe you can gently help them.

Ugh, I kind of tried, but she tends to be kind of stubborn. She is now in another part of the company and I rarely see her. She once flat out said, "you should not look up to me." It was not in a humble way. I was like, hmm, wow, is that a red flag for her self esteem? I thought that she was a badass working mom! My husband always told me that she seemed immature and I now see it. Oh well. I will say that it is important for there to be female role models in the office.

I have had that happen to me. Looked upto to some dude and he turned out to be flat out psychopath. We live and learn and move on. My lesson was not to place my trust on people so easily. You actually have to go through stuff with people, before they are worthy of your trust and respect.

A1- that is really excellent advice and I totally agree. Yes, you can see people's true colors when times get rough. That is when I learned how pathetic she was. Very good lesson learned for the future.

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
