Got an offer with MBB on west coast but I have some time off before. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Looking to take advantage of the time to do something different and/or fun.

First of all, congratulations on your offer! Maybe travel or focus on something that you’ve been wanting to learn?

Chill. Travel. Do something you always wanted to do.

Does back end knowledge team jobs at MBB require casing interviews?

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

One year ago this weekend my mother was dying of Covid 2000 miles away from me. On Mother's Day we were told to make a decision to either consent to an invasive surgery that may do nothing or put her on hospice. She died on her own while my siblings and I tried to decide. I need to crawl into a cave this weekend until this holiday passes.
