Decatur is nice and less touristy. Dinner at Iberian pig and drinks at brick store. Little five points is close and worth a visit.

If they still do the pasta flight at St Cecilia, it’s worth the trip. I love pasta. And iirc it’s in the Deloitte building so should be easy for fishies to give you directions

We really like walking around less touristy neighbourhoods to get a vibe for the community. We like nice local restaurants, coffee shops and stores. My wife is kind of a hipster. Night life isn’t a consideration anymore since we have the little one. Thoughts and suggestions?

I might try to AirBnB near the highlands. Most hotels are very business-centric

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
