How is the area around 30th st station in Philly? I’m taking the Amtrak train into there and trying to figure out where to stay. Any suggestions would be great!

Stay in center city. It’s all students near 30th st. Rittenhouse is just a short walk/Uber away

Many hotels in and around Center City (that's how we refer to downtown in Philly), which is a short way off from the 30th St Station. The area is fine, but like anywhere in the city, there are weird elements you'll come across at night.

Yeah, in Philly you go a little too south, a little too north, or a little too west and you'll be like what the heck is going on here damn.

Any chain hotel downtown is fine

Hotels are in close proximity, 5 min Uber. Avoid the Ritz, there is always pubic hair on those beds. The quality/service isn’t typical, hence why price is lower. The Four Seasons is super nice, use your corporate discount

Old Town is also an option, it's just a little but out to the east of Center City and has some decent options e.g. the Marriott there is kinda new and has one of the better hotel gyms I've seen. And it has a bit more nightlife if you're into that sorta thing

Old City you mean.

Why does the street, and people in general, care so much about the technicality & formal announcement of a recession (2quarters of negative GDP)? Q1 was heavily negative GDP and now FED Atlanta revised Q2 Fcst to 0.0% growth. Let's be honest with ourselves, we are in one now. Why does nobody think this narrowly and wait till data release day and then finally screech "wE aRe iN a RecEsSioN"

Networking/LinkedIn question: Do you feel like you are the one who always reaches out to people on LinkedIn to stay in touch and build your network?
I'm always on the look out for my next opportunity or passively job searching. To that end, I believe in staying connected with my network through out the year and not randomly approaching them for a position/opening. However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
