DC folks stay safe ❤️

Making ~$105k in Chicago (bonus included). Looking to go to either California, NY or Boston. What is the lowest salary increase you would take? The cost of living index might not be realistic (150+ in California or NY and 120+ in Boston). I know there are a lot of factors and assumptions but just want to get a gauge / ballpark estimate from diff perspectives. (Looking for strategy and ops in big tech... for now... )

Is moving from Product management to management consulting a right move given the future growth and compensation ? I have around 11 plus years of IT experience largely in Product Management.When I see LinkedIn profile of management consultants I see few of them get hired on C level positions in other companies but do not see that for Product manager except starting their own startup.Need suggestions if i should keep this transition dream or not

LA moms to be: Any physical stores specifically in LA or SoCal that I could see items up-close and personal? Big box stores or boutiques are both welcomed. 🌴 (I already got BuyBuy, Target, etc)

Anyone with experience with the snoo and any feedback on it? Have a friend that offered to let me borrow hers, so no cost considerations to think about, but have read that it could cause a flat head/other issues and just curious as to what experiences people have actually had with it. Thanks!

Argentina vs Croatia!! Who is going to win ?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Has anyone rented office space over the last year so that you didn't have to be stuck in your home all day? Was it worth it, or did you just feel lonely there?

Online when I research MBB partner salary it seems most things state 600k base and then only increases in bonus. Is this true? Or does a partners base comp also increase with tenure?

How risky is it to bring CBD/THC gummies back from CA to NYC? My friend wants some for her anxiety and I know it’s not 100% legal but does anyone really care?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Are any top consulting firms hiring for experienced analysts currently? I know ACN and some others are cyclical for resources 2-3 years out of college, but I’m looking to make a move sooner than fall

I am currently waiting for the job offer for a consulting firm but I was told it could take several months. Between now and then, I have plenty of time for myself. What should I be doing to prepare myself for the new job? Any recommendations for newsletter/industry reports/books/ coursea courses? Thank you all!

What work would you do if you knew you were financially secure (like a couple million dollars in a trust fund but not infinite money)? Talking to my buddy who is graduating college and he has no idea what he wants to do but has enough security to do anything.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Any thoughts on getting a degree from Harvard Extension School? I’m thinking of getting a grad degree in Management Info Systems instead of getting an MBA
