I was like that, and I took extra time to think how I would solve the problem now. Often time, I noticed I do not have enough info to solve the problem, and I wrote down the info I need - that would be my question. And if I don't need any info, I know perfectly how to solve the problem, I could quickly play these back in the conversation to align.

Summarize what you hear back to the team (shows everyone heard the same thing) and then clarify anything you’re or maybe the team would be confused/unclear on (this can be information, next steps, activity owners, etc)

As your superior to talk you through their thought process when analyzing these issues or common footfalls they've encountered. Sometimes these things you learn from experience and the only way to fast forward is to try to learn from other's experiences

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

What's the best time to do an MBA (to have a good chance getting accepted for M7)?
I have a bachelor's and master's degree, have 1.5 years professional experience in internships (mostly consulting) and 1.5 years full time experience (PwC consulting). Just turned 26. So if I apply now I'd start with 27 and having a total of 4 years of professional experience.
Should I apply now to start an MBA in 2022 or wait an additional year?
