How often do you all travel to Cape Cod for the weekend? Is it worth it?

100% of the time I travel to Cape Cod, Newport, Portland, or the mountains of New Hampshire, I feel different in the best way. It is always worth it.

Also consider the North Shore (Rockport, Manchester…): very cute, nice beaches, possible to do a day trip only, and overall less expensive

This is great but….the drive is painful and ferry can be expensive and then you are beholden to others schedules….

I don’t go every weekend but if you go to Falmouth/sandwich it’s a pretty short ride from Boston and very easy to swing it. But agree with above — the cape is magical and I always feel better when I come home.

Every. Weekend. Completely worth it to me. First real financial goal was to buy a Cape house.

Where did you buy?

Look at Bourne sandwich Falmouth Mashpee cotuit. Towns close to the beginning. So you are not beholden to rt 6 traffic mania.

In consulting I always felt a cape /vacation home was key to stress/life management when hard to get away on vacation and work life is intense. Even if you go to cape for the day driving over that bridge is a stress reliever.

I’ve had mine fifteen years so math was better back then but can still be a goal

Also know your area. For me “walk to beach” was key. Others prefer in town or near boat spots.

Good luck!

Actual question for Trump fans: what is your defense to the statements in The Atlantic article (see attached)? If your defense is they’re anonymous, how about corroboration by independent reporters and their sources? What about the on-the-record statements by Kelly, Mattis, and McRaven?

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
