Gonna be honest, both of these roles sound like they’re going to continue the cycle of Consulting-esque burnout, but unfortunately these are my strongest options.

MSFT is a snooze. Does customer success even have quota targets?

MSFT all day. Culture is a million times better including stuff like PTO and health benefits. Unless comp is drastically different I would recommend MSFT. Spouse is there and it's been great.

Amazon ops is going to be rough, many classmates did that internship and didn’t want to go back. Plus it’s a post MBA job in my opinion, assuming you already had 1-2 yrs consulting experience under your belt

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.
