I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Kindly recommend some self help books!

How much do you tip in an higher priced restaurant? Went for dinner last night for 2. The bill was $220ish and I tipped 30%. My friend said I tipped too much and that he would've only tipped 10-15% because the price was higher. Thoughts?

I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money.
