I’m doing it, I’d rather use Mac for personal use. Not as easy as PC but doable

I got a MacBook Pro. I love it. Unless you’re going into heavy financial modeling role and plan to be practicing a lot of in-depth excel use (and no, that does not include much of anything besides IB/PE - consulting “models” that reach their limits at index/matching will work fine), you’re fine with a Mac. You’ll get a work computer when you graduate anyways from your employer, so pick a laptop YOU want. Don’t skip out on a dope laptop just because you need to use a VPN to access crystal ball for one group project. Just my two cents (also competed my BBA with a MacBook and had no regrets).

How's everyone doing? I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

My husband yells at me in front of my 2 years old, even when he is scared. He needs to express his anger out before he can shut down. I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...
