In case it matters, I live in Southern California somewhat by the water. Thanks in advance!

Anyone here work for consumer companies in Toronto and open to sharing their experience?

By chance anyone needs it this Sunday. Don’t punish yourself for the things done whilst drunk. Chemically you are not the same person, your whole brain is altered, who could expect for it to make the same decisions. And Alan Carr is the book I always go back to - remember every time it gets easier because you know what to do and you learn!

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

"Count blessings/be positive/life is what you make it" peddlers: negative feelings are not chosen, this isn't a flippable switch and self-help comments definitely won't help if all the books haven't.

I keep meeting this girl
In flight every week.. I wish this project never ended.

Utilization may be my least favorite thing about Deloitte. It makes life challenging if you're stringing together a bunch of short-term, yet interesting, projects.

Anyone (guys) ever manned up and asked out that cute chick at the client? Not one of your stakeholders...

Random thought: I’m someone who works hard and puts a lot of pressure on myself to do the best I can do. I almost think that because consulting is so goal/utilization/time focused it makes me feel ..

My company promoted someone and didn’t give them a raise, citing raises they gave last year.

This is obviously idiotic of our management. The person took the promotion, and found a new job and left without giving 2 weeks notice. Stranded multiple projects for a new product of ours and our management is scrambling to help the clients and find someone to backfill his role.

I’ve never been more proud of a coworker. Management deserves this and deserves to fail.
