Hey Fishes, recovering consultant here 👋

I left McK after burning out, my body was waving red flags long before my brain caught up
I’m now trying to build something for people like us, grounded in that experience, and I’m genuinely trying to understand something (not selling anything here!):

When did stress cross the line for you? How did you know? Was it physical symptoms? What solutions didn't work?

Anything you’re willing to share will help me avoid building the wrong thing. Thank you! 🙏

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

Thanks!
