For supply chain company drivers: What do you do if you need a rest? It's known that people who are sleep shouldn't handle heavy machinery, but we are not allowed to take breaks or stop for long periods of time as it messes with the schedule, even if we drive 10+ hours at a time.

You should be able to take breaks. If you're under the impression that you can't, I think you should have a candid conversation with your manager.

I totally agree with the other comment over here. No work will be so important for you to jeopardize your life and health.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails.

Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
