It seems pretty easy.

Just a lot of shouting and grunting and sweeping and pushing and hoping

It basically sounds like what my borderline feral children do when they come home from school and get ready for bed

Try it and I bet you won’t think it is easy. I find the strategy fascinating and difference if a cm can mean a good vs bad shot. And the Canadian cheating scandal this morning.

I tried it once at a Curling club in MN as a team building exercise.
It was much more difficult than I imagined.

The best part of recreational curling is the distance between the beer keg and the ice. It is ridiculously fun and social.

Fun to play
Harder than you would think
But not the most strenuous of sports

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

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.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
