Anyone find it difficult to balance family/friends when you get a chance to squeeze in a weekend at home? I feel like I'm losing touch with a lot of my friends, but still...family first, right?

One day you’ll realize we will die in 80 or so years and none of this matters. You’re really going to give up living this one life you have (unless you really believe in the afterlife) to do a sub $10bn transaction that also won’t matter in 5 years?

There is still no cure to cancer. Just look around you how many ppl do you see hit 90 at all?

Pretty much give up hangout with friends. Or majority of my friends are not “we need to hangout”type. But family, yes. Some times I even find it is a waste of my time to hangout with my partner. Why? Don’t even have time for myself.

Prioritize actual QUALITY friendships and relationships (including family). Keep your circle small. It will be better in the long run.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
