Bro that sounds like an absolutely hellish commute

That’s almost an hour each way in normal traffic. You will hate your life. Also the southern suburbs aren’t as nice.

My parents live in Stafford, so I have done the commute occasionally, and it is BRUTAL. The Woodbridge poster above is wrong- in bad rush hour traffic, I have had it take an hour plus to get from Woodbridge to Stafford (let alone how long it took to get from DC to Woodbridge).... if you will need to do the commute every day, you should stay overnight down there and test it out a few days

I'm currently in Woodbridge, the commute is not bad and it's not too far from Stafford.

Yeah the Stafford area never appealed to me...I think I’d rather be in MD if I was going to subject myself to an hour long commute

I have my final business case interview tomorrow with @QuantumBlack (McKinsey & Company ) (tech role) and I'm scared about the Personal Experience Leadership question.

I never led any team, at most I "solved problems" but that is part of the "Entrepreneurial drive" question.

I don't want to lie, what should I say if they ask me something about leadership?

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?
