McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.
How I’m feeling right now..

Not, in theory, we are all equal in the eyes of the law, but we well know that high-ranking politicians and soldiers are not judged the same, and throughout history, it has been shown that if a person is famous, they are not judged the same.
It has never touched me as a police officer, but I do feel that they have special treatment, I have heard of colleagues who have arrested celebrities and are almost scolded for prosecuting the crimes they are committing, which seems crazy to me because we are not police for something. ?
Whenever they ask me that I remember the video of John Snow, talking to a policeman, in which he exceeds the speed limit but the policeman tells him that if he tells him if he will live in the next season he will let him go, that advantage does not have one common person.
Of course, history has shown us that celebrities have advantages. The clearest case of this is OJ's trial, everyone knew that he was guilty and due to media pressure he was released.
Personally, I would not treat a celebrity differently from other people, that is, we are all equal by law, whether we are famous or not, whether we are rich or not, now the issue with politicians is extremely different, for arresting a politician or son of a politician you can have a big problem being a policeman.
Yeah, a lot of celebrities commit crimes all the time and they rearely ever go to jail, only when it's a huge thing. Most of the time, they don't really ever get punished for their actions.
I don't know exactly what you mean. We've seen countless celebrities go to prison, some even for years, so I don't really think that there's a pattern to see if they're privileged or not.
On the one hand, some argue that celebrities are often targeted by the media and receive harsher punishments than the average person due to their fame and notoriety. On the other hand, those who argue in favor of holding celebrities to higher standards contend that they have more influence over public opinion and therefore should be held accountable for their actions.
The most persuasive argument in favor of holding celebrities to different standards is that famous people have greater access to resources and privileges than regular citizens. Because of their wealth and celebrity status, they often have access to better legal representation and are less likely to face serious repercussions for their actions.
Because of their fame, many celebrities are able to use their platforms as a way of avoiding accountability for their mistakes, which is highly unfair. Furthermore, those who argue against treating celebrities differently cite cases such as the OJ Simpson trial where the celebrity was acquitted despite overwhelming evidence against them due to factors such as jury selection and other biases based on race and class.
It seems clear that although not all celebrities should be held accountable for every mistake or crime committed, there does need to be an acknowledgment that when someone’s fame gives them a platform for good or bad reasons, there needs to be a level of accountability associated with it in order for justice to prevail.
