Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Kind of a weird question, but if you have status at hotels is there any way you could finagle either free or discounted multi-day parking for hotels near an airport? Don't want to have to rely on ride sharing from my home if there is a stronger likelihood of rides near a hotel airport parking space. I am speculating that it still turns out cheaper than hotel parking. This is not for work so I wouldn't be able to expense it.

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.

I got fed up with tax. The last few years, I noticed that I lost my belief/desire for this career due to the absurdity of it. The pandemic has just shown there's no need to make our lives easier. Government can pass massive and sudden reg changes and we should all be happy to play catch up in an abnormally stressful and agitated environment. Firms will be happy to continue working us to death as if we were just cogs in a machine.

Please...Wake me up when this all ends.

Just saw a girl on LinkedIn with “MBB offers recipient” in her headline 😅
