Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!

You worked hard to build up that savings so that it would be there when you needed it! There is no shame in that!
Congratulations on the new role. Guilt, shame, and even grief can accompany joblessness. It is OK to feel those things while being proactive about settling into your new role and rebuilding your savings. Happy healing.
In a thirty plus year career, this will be a blip :)
Never forget that you are whole and human and worth so much more than capitalism can ever provide.
You’re not alone. We will get through this.
This is why we work as hard as we do-so life’s inevitable challenges don’t leave us high a dry. Go crush your next role and don’t give it a second thought.
I have found guilt and shame to be useless but turn that around into resilience and grit and on to the next role, congratulations!
If you held out for a great job then there is no shame in that - good for you! I was in the same boat and quickly accepted the only decent offer right at the and of my severance period because I was worried about burning through savings but I now regret taking the job out of fear more than anything. I hope it doesn’t burn me long term. You did the best in your personal circumstances so don’t look back and only forward. Onward!
