I usually don't get things the first time they're shown to me. I learn by repetition. Complicated processes have to be pounded into my head. Am I screwed in consulting? Is anyone else like this?

You're not alone, it also takes applying theory and actually seeing things work before it clicks sometimes. Stay positive and confident. It all starts to come together eventually.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

Wondering if this is a red flag.

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.

What are your initial thoughts?
