May be longer than you’re looking for, but Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee are gorgeous (more so in October with colors). Also, Savannah and Charleston are charming cities with interesting COVID-friendly activities, like walking around and appreciating architecture/city planning.

like

How far are you willing to drive and what to you want to do (ie beach, woods, lake, etc)

Smith mountain lake is really nice! Also the poconos and chincoteague is really nice

Hike the triple crown down in Roanoke

There’s plenty to do and see in your own state and country

Canada! Montreal (10hrs drive) Quebec, Nova Scotia, etc

I think Canada border is still closed, otherwise I'd say Montreal/Quebec too

Asbury Park NJ!

It’s still hot so I suggest Acadia in Maine, cape cod, lake/hike in New Hampshire or Vermont. Asheville NC is amazing but again, the heat.

Check out all the little towns on cape cod and ferry over to Martha’s Vineyard.

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

Any sort of help/advice is more than welcome!
