What's the biggest piece of junk science that you think is commonly accepted as true. Mine has to be that intermittent fasting will help you lose weight and become more productive.

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.

Anyone have recs for a Nephrologist/Kidney doc?

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

My job just announced mental health benefits to help end the stigma: 25 therapy sessions for employee+family a year at no cost. 🍾🍾🍾

Ive been using botox fairly consistently for 10 yrs and m happy with the results. However, for financial reasons Im thinking of taking a break for 12 months to save the extra money.

Will stopping botox for 12 moths undo all the progress I've made? (I am afraid of rapidly aging like the Nazi from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - nightmare fule).

Also, any adfordable akincare products I should use during the 12 months?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Failed REG by 2 points... I feel defeated and honestly don’t know if I can do this anymore

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

Would be great to get more SG lawyers to talk about working in SG law firms. Think it will be a great avenue to get advice, share experiences and commiserate together

Recently I got an offer from Airbus. How will the work culture and learning over be there?

I know I've been low-balled in terms of salary. But if there is a good culture I'm happy to take it.

Any feedback is good fishes!

Hey everyone - applying in R2 this year to Harvard, Stanford, Booth and Kellogg.

Graduated in 2017 from a top state school, GPA 3.88 and GRE 321 (quant 162, verbal 159) w/ 5.5 writing score. Asian female at a Big 4, worked in healthcare consulting and was fast track promoted in 1 year before switching into strategy/innovation consulting. Trying to pivot to VC and eventually raise my own VC firm targeting underrepresented founders.

What are my chances? Thanks!

Let me know if this interests you below. Thanks!

Anyone have advice on getting your foot in the door at Google or Meta for a Sales Role? I’ve only got 3.5 years of experience but have achieved Presidents Club and have had success at 2 “blue chip” organizations.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

What are typical exit opportunities from financial reporting?

Fishes who game - what are you currently playing? Which console?

What are the typical working hours for MBB? I’m doing just under 40h/week in a non-MBB firm. Still manage to keep clients happy and do internal work

Not thrilled about having to fly United for this engagement. No status on any airline- any ACN promotions going on right now?

Fishes who game - what are you currently playing? Which console?

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

What’s the point of _____ ?

Anyone battling codependent behaviour? I'm doing well in my personal life but find it really hard to set boundaries and overcome codependent habits at work. Anyone have any tips ?

Unless you find public sector work virtuous, what is the appeal of Federal? I have done a few projects and wanted to stick my finger in a socket. Slow clients and non-transferrable experiences.

Easier to fake it in industry or consulting? (I'm actually pretty knowledgeable but feeling imposter syndrome)

Any book recommendations for someone looking to get into a Product Owner / Manager role?

If you exit big consulting (e.g ACN, Deloitte, PWC) and go work at a boutique firm, do the big consulting recruiters stop reaching out since you left their world?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

Can someone explain why on one hand were laying people off and on the other hand I have seen 4 (completely full) orientation trainings this week?

Any Consultant here making professional music as a hobby or Side hustle? When and how did you start?

Career goals: anyone else feel like at some point you got on a treadmill and you’ve been continually speeding it up, but now can’t foresee being able to slow it down? Can’t keep this pace forever but don’t know what exits will be both forgiving and fulfilling.
