@A1 and how many people died because of that?? Say what you will about property but Harvey has so far taken MANY less lives than Rita did because there was no evacuation.

Because they have a democrat for a mayor, ignored the governor because local leaders were giving them horrifically bad advice.

They also chose to live in flood planes. Same decision, just less urgency.

They would have had 3 days, it took 18 hours last time Houston had a mandatory evacuation back after katrina.

@A1 *Rita

@BA1 idk that seems pretty harsh - most of Houston is in located in 100 year or 500 year floodplains

People in Houston are more prepared for flash flooding than their capacity for being able to move people around and out the city on poor flow designed highways.

OP agreed that it's a harsh reality that some lady says she didn't evacuate because "we just didn't have the money". I would advise those impacted receiving insurance payouts and other aid NOT to rebuild there, although a 100 or 500 year flood plane is eons better than actually below sea level and protected only by a levy built by the government, as the case was in New Orleans.

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work.

Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

What would u do? 3 YOE HCOL city and I have 2 potential options:
1) move to a boutique healthcare strategy consulting firm in a similar role as I have now (client facing consulting role).. 120-130 base + 20% bonus
2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.
