Been lawyering for five years now, with only one-two week vacation that I took over two years ago. I’m married, husband is also in legal. Work has been pretty much all I do (no hobbies). Need to get away from all of it for a week or two to reset because of extreme burnout. Anyone travel alone for a week or more and any suggestions on where to go to decompress solo? Not looking for trips that involve a lot of socializing or sightseeing. Just peace.

Canyon Ranch. I prefer Tucson but Lenox is nice as well. You can treat your whole self, mind, body, and spirit. I always feel evolved and re-energized after.

Oh wow! Where are you flying from? I can usually find good flights from NYC but not gonna lie, the distance from the airport to the resort eats into a long weekend. You can fly into Puerto Rico or Martinique and then take a small plane to the closer/smaller airport but I haven’t tried it. You can also take a helicopter from the large airport to the resort for like $500 but your luggage goes by road. Haven’t tried that either!

Have had friends go to all-inclusives alone and really enjoyed it - just naps on the beach and time to read/watch movies uninterrupted

I also second an all inclusive. I just came back from Punta Cana and after laying on the beach for a week with a novel, I feel wayyy better. Pick one with a clean beach and good food.

I went to a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere a few years ago and it was recharging. No internet or cell service, all meals catered, and hanging out with animals.

We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
