I started in September, I now have about 2 really close work friends (I can send memes), and a few other close acquaintance. Super awkward at first because I’d try to initiate the conversation or try to host virtual happy hours. Now, that small group of us, we’re close and have been able to connect well. It’s hard but it’s possible :)

Yes and No. I say that because I had a preexisting relationship with a third of them due to interning. But, the others are very MIA.

Started in March and not a ton. Some Directors and Up will probably know my name pending success of an internal project. But otherwise only people I really know are on my long term project.

Folks who’ve left ClearView, how is life on the other side, and how long did you stay before you jumped ship? It’s a week where I’m burning, and the fact that I feel so isolated during it makes me want to quit consulting altogether. Would also like to talk to some of you if possible. Never thought I’d say this but I honestly feel unhappy in my job, and I wonder if it is just WFH related - and whether it might get better once the office opens up.

Y’all just a quick vent - I am 10 weeks 4 days and just really f*cking tired of being tired and nauseous. Work is like pulling teeth right now with a difficult client and a director/partner who aren’t respecting boundaries particularly well with some utilization BS on top of it. I have anxiety and ADHD just normally and this is our first child (but second pregnancy after one miscarriage earlier this year). Just uuugggghhhhh. Tips for coping appreciated.

Hey YC bowl, need my weekly talk down from going to law school. Inevitably facing yet another week of mostly enjoying what I do while somewhat tolerating certain aspects of consulting. Not totally unfulfilled not totally unhappy. Decent WLB. Just cannot shake this law school bug. Haven’t been able to for years. Sort of encroaching a point where I’m not sure I’m even headed in my career in terms of developing hard transferable skills. For example, I feel like I don’t have an actual vocation. Lol

Offered job @McDonalds for 90K with a 5K sign on bonus. Currently making 85K. Bonus structure at McDonald’s is 14-30% and a much better WLB. Torn on whether jumping to industry would stagnate my career or if I should look to hop to a different consulting field before joining industry (currently I’m in TP w/interest in strategy consulting). Speaking with a few different companies this week but McDonald’s wants my decision by Wednesday. Offered the job last Friday 9/23. Thoughts?
