I don’t know what happens between M and SM but Ms = great communication, SM = horrible communication with no context. Do SMS just shift focus from when they were Ms so their comms are bad or do the good Ms all leave for industry?

I don’t tell my spouse how to spend their time or energy. We talk about goals, and I ask “how do I need to support that?” Or “what does that mean we need to change in our routine?” or “Do we need professional help to accomplish that?”

All these posts about spouses telling each other how to look, what to eat, or how to spend their money or time, baffle me. If I told my partner what to do, they’d be resentful and think I was crazy. I would too.

Am I crazy for feeling this way???

Thanks for sharing! Again, just for fun and curiosity.

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

How do PPMDs make sure when you are replacing an incumbent, you don't get handed down a broken system ? What sort of knowledge transfer and contractual framework do you get the client to agree to and how do you negotiate on that? I feel clients are not always honest and hide a lot of landmines which a consulting company can walk into and blamed for it.
