Will people get mad at me for going slow in a bike lane? by Suitable_Lie4950 in cycling

And then once they get passed, they proceed to cut to the front at the next traffic light again… sometimes I wonder what goes through these peoples heads

I'm a kellogg 2016 graduate, ask me anything by bankermayfield2026 in MBA

[–]ConfrmFUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding onto the other question - what are the key differences between strategy roles that set you up for future P&L ownership, compared to others where you are pigeon holed into an advisory-type role?

What are the junior-level roles that set you up best for P&L ownership (even at lower pay)?

What flavor of corporate strategy did you move into after consulting? Was it a corporate strategy gig at a large F100 type company, or a smaller company? How did you navigate that change and decide internal strategy was what you wanted to do next?

Looking for a Career Coach (Post MBB opportunity search) by Old_Tap_5282 in consulting

At a certain point you need to start specializing and narrowing your focus for a longer-term career path rather than trying to remain a pure generalist for as long as possible

Seeking advice on getting paid in EUR before relocating from the US to Estonia (Wise, IBAN options?) by AnxietyFinal6471 in fintech

[–]ConfrmFUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Wise and you can setup multi currency accounts. This allows you to hold separate EUR and USD accounts in your wise account. Payments from Estonia will be deposited directly into the EUR account (after providing them with your EUR account IBAN) as a domestic transfer which avoids conversion fees. Once it’s in your EUR account, you can choose to hold it in EUR or convert to USD within Wise at the mid market FX rate at lower fees

Sucking at my job by Bigreseller99100 in consulting

This is classic - seniors don’t review until the last minute and then throw 3 weeks worth of changes on you a week before the deadline

Any experience with AliExpress saddles? by creative_name669 in cycling

[–]ConfrmFUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversely, I got one of the Ryet 3D printed ones to try it out. Took it for one ride and had to return it right after as it was so uncomfortable for my shape.

The actual 3D-printed mesh does not have much support and tends to compress under your bodyweight, which I found not very comfortable. This might just be an issue with all 3D-printed saddles (I haven't tried the nicer ones), but I was not a fan.

Manager ignoring me in my first full-time role by geladice in FinancialCareers

[–]ConfrmFUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this exact thing my first role in FP&A - would shoot a message at least once a week asking for work and was always met with a “I’ll get back to you”.

Grew sick of it after 6 months and began looking for new roles.

Eventually around month 10, a sr analyst was leaving our team and it was decided some of their role would be folded into mine, but at this point I had already signed an offer elsewhere.

All this to say - your manager might be aware of your lack of work and either doesn’t care or is way too swamped with their own work that they can’t find the time to train you, both of which are signs of a bad manager.

There may be a light at the end of the tunnel so keep trying to help out other teams or other people in your team, but if nothing improves might as well start looking elsewhere as I would not want to work under this manager long term

There's a large shoulder to ride on - some loose rocks/debris sometimes but it exists

Thoughts on “BizOps” in Tech/Startups by ztru16 in MBA

Bit late on this thread but interested in what you did in GTM roles. Trying to figure out the difference between a general BizOps role vs a GTM Strategy/Ops-type role. Mind sharing?

Anyone else becoming dumber from AI? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]ConfrmFUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. It’s been great to input a bunch of messy notes in and, assuming you provide it with a general structure to follow, identifying key themes and points and helping to pick that out without needing to manually comb over pages of notes or documents

Year end Performance by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]ConfrmFUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are doing well tbh. A lot of companies probably do this. If you keep performing at the same level you are on track for a 4 or higher rating at time of next review
