Yeah, I still regret not taking a one year title setback to switch to Bain two years ago. The world has hierarchies and they are broadly more important than they should be and are important in contexts where they should not be.

Pick BCG there’s no debate here . MBB still vastly ahead in terms of comp, exits, prestige, promos, support functions, benefits etc

Yea I'd say take BCG. I was a lateral hire from another firm and I did get a hair cut for my title . But mbb stamp still matters a lot for exits (while titles matter less). Also, if you're good, they'll fast track you anyway. So you'll make up time later down the road

I am trying to practice a version of intuitive/mindful eating - honoring my body’s hunger cues and not sticking to a timeline or plan as to what and when to eat.

Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA
