Hey! I did- while interviewing I found that nobody cared about what I did before because I was still fairly young and as long as I answered the cases well that’s all that mattered . Since being in the job it’s been an advantage on one or two projects but also not something putting me really ahead.
Obviously hours will be way worse with significant loss of free time. Also I used to be friends with my colleagues but not anymore (due to travel and different work cultures).

MBA! Bunch of folks at my firm with agency backgrounds who joined post-MBA and do great work in our marketing and sales practice!

Would you all say you’re invested in good projects if the market cap remains the same recently, but your portfolio keeps going up and up? Or is that dumb logic.

WTF does this mean?
