Anyone else play Clash Royale? I can’t be the only one. It could be cool to have a clan of attorneys (or not 🤓). I was thinking of naming a clan “.1 Per Game” since games are 0-6 minutes long. Any interest? 🫣

This is so cute.

Is the game worth playing? I ask out of genuine curiosity as someone who plays whatever the newest comp movement fps is for fun bc hobbies are important (d1 on b06 ranked rn after reset, msg me if u want run ranked) and would take it up as a hobby as long is it's not a gacha in terms of getting into it at this point

(I have two young kids so can't take on an expensive hobby at this point and have been a whale or at least a dolphin in the past pre kids and pre leaving private practice and halving my income unexpectedly)

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA.
