Assume everything at LAX will take 2-3x as long as a normal airport would. Do three Hail Marys before calling your Uber. Toss a virgin into a volcano or your bag won’t make it.

Depends on the time you are flying in. If it’s a peak time, forget it.

Expect 30 minutes wait to pick up your bag. If you hit drop off at the wrong time, the line to check a bag can be 100 people long.

It varies. Just give yourself plenty of time always as a precaution. Especially on the way back with LA traffic.

United- it’s like 10-20 minute wait usually. Not bad. Check in shouldn’t be hard either.

Can you fly to a regional airport instead like Burbank or Long Beach?

A taxi will probably be the easiest, cheapest, and most direct way out of the airport. Otherwise take a hotel shuttle and call a Lyft/Uber from whatever hotel you get dropped off at. You can also take a taxi to the K line which just recently opened. Unfortunately it doesn't directly connect to the airport yet (2024? 2025?).

We discussed that results/outputs is better than billable time like in law and public accounting. Yet, his parents and others would view him as “lazy” but he does his job and makes a fantastic living. Time>Money and Results>Hours

Additional Posts in Consulting

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.
