☆ A phone call between Trump and conservative tech billionaire Peter Thiel reportedly turned 'pretty contentious'
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Haley Tenore | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Tech investor Peter Thiel had a heated phone call in recent months with Donald Trump, Puck reported. Thiel's public support for Trump wavered in recent years, and apparently, Trump noticed. Apparently, Trump was "fuming" because the former president had supported Thiel-backed candidates like J.D. Thiel even left Facebook's board of directors to give his full attention to supporting Republican candidates, including mentees J.D. A year later, however, Peter Thiel took a step back from politics and no longer planned to support candidates in 2024.

☆ I'm a former senior leader at Amazon. Mentorships can be a waste of everyone's time unless you do it right — here's how.
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Brandon Southern | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +9 min

I've had the opportunity to mentor several people during my 20-year career in tech as a senior leader at companies like Amazon and eBay. To start your mentorship off right, come prepared with specific, time-based goals for what you'd like to accomplish. Without knowing why you want a promotion, what the promotion duties look like, and when you want to achieve a promotion, your mentor won't be able to give the specific feedback you need. Without this practice, not only will you not make progress, but you'll end up re-hashing the same conversation from the previous meeting. This will be a waste of time for you and your mentor and quickly result in a frustrating and unsuccessful mentorship.

☆ Inside the private-equity recruiting tornado that just hit — and why it may be turning some young bankers away from a career on the buyside

Private-equity recruiting for 2025 roles officially kicked off Friday, including at Apollo and TPG. Many of those bankers had barely started their current investment-banking jobs, and others were still in training sessions for them. As always, the firms were recruiting first-year investment banking analysts for jobs that won't start until 2025. Midnight interviews are not uncommon in private-equity recruiting, nor are "exploding offers," which demand that candidates make a decision before leaving the interview room to prevent them from shopping around. $300,000 offersOver the years, on-cycle recruiting has crept up on candidates earlier and earlier.

I also reserve mornings — the time when I'm most focused and creative — for tasks that require deep concentration and decision making. I implement two-way-door decision makingThis approach is a staple of how I think and approach decision making. It allows me and my team to move quickly throughout the day, maximizing high-velocity decision making. Here's how it works: I always assess whether a decision I'm making is irreversible — a "one-way door" decision that can't be walked back. Jeff Bezos used to say that around 90% of decisions we make are two-way door decisions, and that not treating two-way door decisions like one-way door decisions is the key to unlocking speed.

☆ Increasing Law Department Diversity
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( Michelle Graham | Practical Law | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +17 min

Create a law department DEI committee consisting of diverse law department employees to:evaluate the law department’s DEI status; develop a plan and a budget to increase or maintain law department diversity; and monitor and promote the success of the law department’s DEI initiatives. Incentivize law department employees to refer diverse candidates for job openings by paying them a referral bonus if the law department hires those candidates. Retaining Diverse Law Department EmployeesWhile recruiting and hiring diverse employees for the law department requires continuous effort, retaining them once hired presents another challenge. Discuss initiatives the law department has taken to increase and maintain DEI in the law department, such as creating a DEI hiring committee. (For more on how law departments can improve DEI at their outside law firms, see Increasing Law Firm Diversity and Increasing Law Firm Diversity: Presentation Materials on Practical Law; for general guidance on working with outside counsel, see Working Effectively with Outside Counsel Checklist on Practical Law.)

▼ + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Leigh Thompson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

She says women should 'quiet negotiate' by using subtle behaviors to set themselves up for success. Specifically, I define quiet negotiation as planning, initiating, and directing impromptu-appearing conversations with key players to improve your economic and psychological well-being at work. Here are three keys to success with quiet negotiation. I witnessed this recently when Mala, a young sales manager at a corporate real-estate firm suggested rethinking the regional sales strategy and faced immediate resistance from more experienced (male) sales managers. In this way she used a form of quiet negotiation by harnessing data to advocate for her idea and capability, gaining further credibility in the workplace.

In this story, a virtual assistant and mentor shares her $5,000 monthly budget. But less than two years since launching her virtual-assistant business, she's ready to teach others what she's learned. She'd have to hire a virtual assistant of her own, build online courses, and hire experts in other fields to speak with mentees. Along with the accountant, Mathis has also hired a virtual assistant, whom she pays $1,545 monthly. When Mathis shifted from full-time virtual assistant to full-time mentor, she needed to reshoot her brand images.

And class C listings are usually one- to two-bedroom apartments, with nightly rates ranging from $100 to $250. Meanwhile, I've noticed that bookings for my class C and B properties have decreased in recent months. If not, they should focus on targeting business travelers with class B or C properties, which I'll get into a bit later. Instead of choosing your next Airbnb near Disneyland or national parks, I would focus on locations that will accommodate business travel — in other words, metropolitan areas.
