I'm sorry to hear the news about layoffs. If you haven't been affected, I hope it stays that way. Otherwise, good luck on your exit process and job hunt fellas. It's not an easy job.

Men and women, ladies and gentlemen, guys and gals - make the sentence longer.

Of course I'm addressing both sexes. I'd rather say thanks guys. Instead of going PC with guys and gals.

Whenever people use "PC" in that derogatory way, I like to replace it with "kind and respectful to people," which is what it means. Now OP's comment says, "...instead of going 'kind and respectful' with guys and gals."

It wasn't derogatory. PC - politically correct. That's what it is.

When I say "thanks guys" I'm not being unkind and disrespectful to anyone.

And when I say, "thanks guys and gals" - it doesn't increase the kindness and respect I convey and mean.

It's an effort to keep the written and spoken language simple and free from bloatage. Less words conveying the same message.

So is guys. But it's used and understood.

Any insight appreciated, thanks!

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
