9 AM meetings seem early af now, and all I do is roll out of bed. How the hell did I ever wake up at 630 to get into the office by 745 for 8 AM meetings?

Clearly none of you are in industry. I’m lucky when I don’t have 7:30 meetings and 8am is absolutely fair game. At least anything after 5 is a rarity.

I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

I want to get my PhD, but all of the programs I want require a full time commitment for the first year. What are my options? Is a sabbatical an option? Or would I have to straight up resign?

I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at.

I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
