Anyone knows best and cheapest way to get COVID-19 done in NJ to travel to India?

Just watched the exchange between Jim Jordan and Fauci in the House hearing. Also checked the comment section at both CNN and FOX. Boy people are so divided.

The current solution sounds like a compromise between both sides: you can go out; you need to wear mask. Neither side will be satisfied by this and will get more divided while cases grow.

I just want to shout out to my Deloitte brothers/sisters who were laid off without any explanation. Working with an ex Deloitter, he is very impressive, not sure why D laid him off.

Sincerely,
Ex- Deloitte

How easy (or difficult) is it to go from GPS to Corporate consulting, esp when all of your prior experience revolves around government?

The fact that I got a prompt from fishbowl telling me to 'level up' by starting a convo in the introverted consultants bowl is hilarious to me. Do they not understand how introverts work?

What topics do you bring up when you’re networking? My conversations skew bizarre because I sincerely don’t want to be talking to people to network. “So where do you work?” can’t be all of it.

Got transitioned out at my company, for not “clicking” quickly enough with some types of ppl (generally got no problem with it). So why even hire introverts if you expect them to be extrovert anyways?

Wondering what other high paying (6 figure) jobs might be out there that have the same level of intellectual stimulation as consulting without all of the schmoozing and social obligations. Any ideas?

Where are my fellow INTJ's? What service area did you find yourself in and how do you like it?

My senior manager told me the other day that those who are aggressive and domineering are the ones who get promoted; not the quiet, introverted ones. Maybe it’s because I work at Deloitte?

2 cons were talking with me and one accused me of derailing every conv topic he brought up. I can’t tell if I changed the topic or if the topics were so far off for me I brought up the closest tangent

How do you all get prepared for meetings that you have to lead and get decisions made? I hate them with a passion and do better one-on-one with a client than a group.

I hate giving presentations. Any tips for feeling (or at least looking) comfortable and confident?

Thanksgiving dinner underway... I ducked out to take an extended trip to powder my nose. Anyone else hiding from unwanted chatter?! 😎

Have you ever suspected yourself if you have mild Asperger’s? What are the signs or symptoms?

Anyone dreading when this pandemic would be over? Working from home is such a nice change to all the unnecessary noise

Anyone here deal with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the face when in social settings? I’m active and not overweight. Just trying to find some solutions.

My ex husband was an extrovert and alcoholic. He went out with drinking buddies or anyone who would join him several times a week. We grew apart. Why is love so blind? It should have been obvious...

Sometimes I struggle with the balance between “pushing myself out of comfort zone” and “being comfortable with who I am”. Anyone feel the same way?

I thought I had figured out how to mostly manage being an introvert and doing this work. Then I went from a project of 15 core stakeholders to one with 45… 🙃🤬😱

Anyone feel like they regret being in consulting? I’m a serious introvert who wishes instead of going to school for business, I did something more technical and ended up as a developer. It could be isolation making things worse, but I’ve come to realize I really hate talking/facilitating due to social anxiety lol. But I feel it’s too late to do anything about it (I’m 27).
