[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is OP a part of the FIRE movement/lifestyle? I work with a woman who proudly is (and will tell you all about it) and wears it like a badge of honor but it can be super cringe and has affected her career. I like her, she’s super smart and friendly, but her obsession with thrift and the FIRE principles is insane. It is difficult to take her seriously or have her lead meetings with clients when she’s wearing battered thrifted clothes that dont fit, she cuts her own hair, and she brings empty takeout containers to take the free lunch leftovers home.

OP could be a good service partner or of counsel but unless she’s bringing in a book of business above her overhead, she won’t be equity partner anywhere. And that requires people skills and being presentable (and likable). [/quote]

Sounds like your colleague is on the autism spectrum as well. [/quote]

She probably is, and she's pretty much maxed out at the level and won't advance any further. [/quote]
