LA is a city with a lot of pockets and terrible transportation. What part of LA are you in, and what kind of recs are you looking for?

Any Korean BBQ joint, Phil’s BBQ, Poker at Commerce Casino, and tourist stuff around Hollywood and Highland (Universal Studios is $1.50 train ride away)

There is no Phil’s bbq in LA

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
