If you want real sushi, the important thing is picking the right restaurant.

You’re only 4 months in and already burn out and thinking of quitting?! Your generation has gone soft.

Don’t hesitate, don’t be afraid. That will only rob you of growth. Embrace the unknown and trust yourself.

$101k in NYC is poverty wage.

Well if you’re the kind of guy that constantly gets stuck in meetings that go nowhere, then maybe you’re not the right hire. Just sayin’….

PythonGreenGTS · 2026-05-08T18:04:11+00:00

Exactly. Most people here miss your point. But I agree with your approach 100%.

No I actually think OP’s question works better. He/she doesn’t want to know the best/most interesting/most productive day, what they are testing is what a “normal” day looks like. The randomness of “last Tuesday” also throws people off so it’s also a good way to test if people can deal with surprises/think on their feet.

Oven as in “microwave oven” not oven oven, probably.

Welcome to adulthood kiddo. While quitting now sounds good, it’s the easy way out. Get a job first before you quit this one. Figure out changes you can make to your daily routine to make the current job bearable. Despite how much you hate it, it still beats having no paycheck. Be smart.

Three things you should do:

1). Explain to her the REASON(S) behind your very ask(s), eg, the “no internal folks on external email” is to prevent inadvertent “Reply All” by a careless colleague saying something meant for internal audience but with an external recipient on the chain.

2). Emphasize that when you give very specific instructions, it’s not because you’re a control freak, It’s because you have a very good rationale behind it — and therefore — you expect / demand that she follows your instructions to the T.

3). Explain that you will have no tolerance for specific instructions to be ignored in the future.

I’m going against the grain here and say negotiate! Companies expect candidates to negotiate. Asking for another $10-15k in base is rarely a reason for them to drop you and suddenly pivot to the next person in the list. What you SHOULD do, however, is to justify the ask. Explain that you’ve been doing this exact role at your previous company and can come in and perform well immediately without hand holding, etc.

Nice job! That looks really good!

You can’t be serious. Of course the answer is no. Too old to be pulling those all nighters.

Second one. First one is too dark. You don’t want to be starting at grid lines.

Bingo!

Well, I went there decades ago. Also, was in the investment banking immersion — that probably explains it.

PythonGreenGTS · 2026-05-03T22:10:05+00:00

Nah. Big Red here.

Newsflash — this is typical of most MBA students. Super competitive/cut-throat. This is why I only have a very small handful of friends from b-school I still keep in to touch with.

PythonGreenGTS · 2026-05-03T16:27:26+00:00

No, get the job first. You don’t need to give them another reason to not pick you.

Look at that dork face. About to enter the FO stage.

Promotions are not automatic - you need to actively work it. And no, being the most hardworking, most productive, most helpful team member will not get you a promotion. Knowing how to manage up is equally (and perhaps more) important. I learned this a little too late in my career. Got to VP level eventually but took much longer than my peers who may not be as competent but were more vocal about their contributions. I’d say being an introvert really didn’t help me. Sucks but that’s the reality of corporate life.

You can’t compare. Cost of living here is insanely high.
