I was in Athens in August. When you use Uber, you get a taxi.

I used uber, it just routes to a regular taxi but at least you don’t have to figure out billing.

Taxi… I will add that taxi drivers at Piraeus are sketchy as well

Take the train from the airport to Syntagma

Ok. Tried both. I will stick with Uber. Both Uber trips were fine with no issues. Both cars called were taxis too as mentioned but we had the assurance of the fare (and usual convenience of calling and paying with the app). The one time we just hailed a taxi, he took us without our agreement to see the changing of the guard, kept saying I won’t charge you extra. We got out at the changing of the guard and asked how much we owed him. He asked for three times what the Uber to our hotel should have been (settled for twice). And we still had to call an Uber since we were nowhere near our hotel.

Not sure for in town, but to get to/from airport from downtown, airport bus is a great deal at 5 euros and runs very frequently

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

I’m in Deloitte human capital and want to eventually (but sooner rather than later) move to industry doing internal talent/people stuff. My coach recommended getting SPHR or equivalent. Thoughts?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

One of my junior associates recently resigned and I've been trying to make an exit myself for several months now. The job market has been really competitive but I am getting closer to getting a new job and moving on. The firm culture isn't great and work-life balance is non existent. My physical and mental health have been suffering, so I really don't think I could stay. How did you avoid the guilt trips from Partners/Senior staff trying to get you to stay?
