If you were covering an engagement for a manager going on leave, what information would you want to know so you’d feel prepared?

If you were taking a leave, what information/ plans would you leave behind to make things easier to pick up when you return?

I feel like overall I would want to know timing, risk areas of that timing, any “tricky” items to pick up, who you usually call when you’re having issues on x/y/z issue, where you expect the team will be when you do come back, when you’re coming back. Honestly 90% logistics and 10% who the shitty people are.

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
