Best ways to stay entertained on the road? Sometimes when I’m bored on the road I have to remind myself about why I love my job and why quitting wouldn’t be a good idea lol

Podcasts or audio books, I used to do delivery for Peloton, on the road 10-12 hours a day. Also some comedy standup sets, you could literall be laughing your ass off while driving.

Just stay safe though.

I love listening to music on the road, it's the best way to keep me entertained without losing focus, in some cases I use audiobooks.

One of my tricks is to plan ahead and bring along a few snacks that I can munch on in between meetings or car rides. That way, I can make sure I'm fueled for a productive day, no matter where I am! Other than that, taking the time for some deep breathing exercises or yoga can also be great for calming down and staying focused during long days.

Podcasts, spotify, and language learning material. There are a lot of great podcasts for beginners of a new language. It's a fun little challenge that keeps me engaged.

I know the feeling of getting bored while on the road, but it’s important to find ways to stay entertained! One way I like to stay occupied is by bringing audiobooks or podcasts. They help keep me distracted from a long drive, and I also learn something new in the process.

I like to appreciate my surroundings. Take a break from driving every once in a while and explore places you've never seen.

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
