I use the Eisenhower Matrix (also sounds impressive to the interviewer). President Eisenhower at different times was the General in the US Army, the Allied Forces Supreme Commander during WWII, and the Supreme Commander of NATO. He had to continuously make decisions about which of the many tasks he should focus on each day.

The matrix has four quadrants:
1. Do first - to be done the same day
2. Schedule - important but not urgent
3. Delegate - urgent but less important
4. Don’t do - neither urgent nor important but can be done last if time allows.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Let me know if you have questions about it!

Real talk: how long does it take you to review and provide comments to an agreement.. say a Stock Purchase Agreement (I know these vary wildly)? I recently found an invoice in which 1.5 hours was charged for reviewing/ adding comments/ revising to a full set of VC financing documents. I don’t think that work could be completed in such short a period of time, if doing a thorough job. I really don’t want to be slow at my work and need to know the appropriate time spend. Thoughts???
