I go to a small gas station in a small town - the county seat of one of the smallest counties in TN. Went the other day. Was in line to buy gas (pumps don’t even have card readers)- and this old man slides by me, smiles, and says, “Got me a pizza! Now getting me some beer!” Love the energy. It was also 2pm on a Thursday. I said: “Sir, damn, I still have 3 hours, lucky you!”

Few months ago XLM was the star ....it’s worthless now

Outside of practicing with a partner, what are you guys doing for prep? I’ve looked at LOMS but wondering if it would be enough.

Thanks

Is it unusual to have a partner midway through a small engagement hand over his partner responsibilities to a Sn Mng (not on the engagement) and force the existing Sn Mng to report to them?

Most of my family members think all I do is write addresses on boxes and toss them in the mail. Is there anyone else who has this problem? It feels like people think of logistics as unskilled labor

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

I have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

What’s the band for an SC salary at Deloitte (non MBA) in a HCOL city?

Has anyone tried to do the Rice online MBA while being a junior corporate associate? Does anyone think this is doable? I want an MBA because I eventually want to pivot from law but the opportunity cost right of completely leaving my position is too much.

Hi partners, do you have an MBA? What are your thoughts about getting an MBA for someone who already works in consulting? Thank you :)

What are M7 MBB recruiting timelines ? Considering applying right now to MBB, but if I get rejected I’m going to do an MBA, will I be blacklisted from applying for summer internships if I get rejected this fall ?

Tuning into the ACMs anyone? Thoughts?

Big fire anyone?

Dollar Generals and the like are plagues on small towns and their businesses. It pains me to see the parking lots full in the back country. No healthy food, and I’ve been told that the locals in the place where I’m WFH always spend their whole paychecks there, especially on terrible food

Tyler Childers music around the bonfire anyone?

I can’t count how many conversations I’ve had with urban dwellers since getting into consulting about living in the country. Literally just explained how septics tanks and well water were real things to a coworker this morning lol. Any of you still live out in the sticks?

What’s our member count in this bowl? Maybe can throw this in another bowl to get more country discussions on here

Anyone considering relocating to more rural area in their current job or taking anther job to do it? This pandemic helped me realize how much I hate city life, and I’m considering such a move and wondering if anyone else felt the same?

Who here has been tearing up some boiled peanuts? Not those old nasty ones they overcook in gas stations either. I’m talking fresh picked and fresh boiled green big boys. One of my favorite eats this time of year!

Sorry for the barrage of posts, but this one is worth telling. Couple months ago, I found a gator hanging in my pond. I live next to a swamp so it’s not uncommon to have one wander through occasionally. This one was a little too big for my liking though. I have 3 dogs so I was worried Wally might try to eat one of them. I’m not fond of jail so I did the right thing and called a game warden to get a nuisance tag. Took 2 weeks to get it and by that time, Wally was nowhere to be found. Cont.
