I was blindsighted and laid off back in August.. I wasn't too sad as the place was very toxic. However, being a single mom and the way the job market is.. its been a Rollercoaster of emotions. On my journey I've been nearly scammed twice, gaslighted and received 3 offers on the table. I used this time to really figure out what is important to me. Within a week life takes a curveball and everything I have hoped for came to fruition. Have faith, be positive and MANIFEST. Everything is

possible.

That is wonderful to hear! The scams are all too real right now. I pride myself on being very aware, and there were a few times they almost had me! Congratulations on everything.

Oh wow I’m sorry this happened to you. I can’t imagine being scammed from a job opportunity and being laid off. I’m glad you got a job offer and remained to be stay focus and positive through it all. Congratulations!

This year has been a very trying year for many of us. Keeping the faith has been a real test for me. I almost landed this awesome job but was ghosted after the 2nd interview with the owner. Not even so much as a cliche rejection email. Just nothing. I've reached out to them twice but nothing so yeah, trying to manifest my success by staying positive and optimistic that a closed door only leaves you further up the hallway.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”
