If I could choose any superhero power to help me at work, it would definitely be mind reading! It seems like everyone around me thinks I already have that ability!

What superpower would you choose for your job, and why?

My preferred superpower would be time travel. Going back and fixing things, or jumping ahead and being able to understand how to proceed, that would work for me. Would also work for my stock market account, come to think of it. I don't think I'd want the power to read minds, with most of my colleagues I would prefer not to know what's going on up there.

Time travel is a good one. Working with stock markets it would actually be ideal!

I would love to be able to see into the future. It would make it so much easier for me to make good decisions for my org if I knew exactly how things were going to play out.

Yes that's definitely a good one. Decisions would be so much easier.

Mind reading? Pointless. The real power is making meetings vanish from the calendar.

Love that 🤣🤣

Freeze time! Not just to get work done, but sometimes that mental time out, make a few exaggerated faces, and then get back to the day.

Exaggerated faces 🤣 love that!

Time travelling either forward or backwards depending on the situations, or reading people’s minds could come in handy for different scenarios.

I want to be like Samantha on Bewitched. Just twitch my nose and have coffee come to me. Or the ability to pop in and out when needed. Or..... to turn that nasty employee into an unfavorable animal. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

From a vault ranking perspective, is it safe to assume V100 is all sweatshop big law?

Want some sort of work life balance and wondering if the “lower ranked” big law firms offer this? Could just be my fantasy though…

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.
