Bain & Company Bain & Company Do you have any insights into what they are expecting in the second (last) round? I saw that there are two cases and a presentation. Are they more interested in professionalism than the "analytical" skills assessed in the first round? Do you have any more insights into the presentation?
Many thanks in advance

I just did my own thing and dancy dance and met my husband 8 years ago at a geek bar halloween party. Started dating 7 years ago and married for 5 years.
What a gorgeous story!
I jump from one person to the other
And then back sometimes 😂
Until my current partner, every single person I dated eventually blamed me for my disability actually disabling me. What I mean is that at first everyone is on their best behavior, but eventually, many people will decide that the person is the problem and not their condition. I’ve had people say “every issue can’t just be your ADHD,” as if it’s something that we can turn on and off. People often don’t do even low-effort work to better understand us. Those people do not deserve us.
I guess what I’ve learned overall is to prioritize your own wellbeing, don’t tolerate those who lack tolerance for you (you cannot fix them, I promise), be in therapy, and don’t lose hope.
Okay this is probably overshare but here it goes. I’m struggling to be in a relationship with a consulting job. On one hand, I absolutely love my job and the opportunities it provides me, on the other I have to focus so hard to be distinctive that I can’t have a LTR not because I can’t find women but because I just don’t have the energy to pursue and love the women I date. The trade off that I’ve made is I now work with short term or FWB during weekends and the job takes priority over everything. Let me know how you worked this out.
It has impacted me. Before I was diagnosed especially, I had partners who would get very frustrated with my behaviors. One in particular was bothered by it and in hindsight I really wish I knew what was going on before we split. It was heartbreaking
That’s a heartbreaker for sure. How is it now? What did you put in place or communicate to make it better?
I love the last part of advice. That’s a mantra for many of us in the bowl I’m sure. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate.
When I’m on the apps and juggling multiple potentials I can’t keep conversations straight with the right dates. Eg: was he the one that told me he had a bad day? Did I already tell this one about my recent move or was that someone else? Was this the one who said he liked to go out dancing? I think I navigate it pretty well for the most part by asking kindly (“did I tell you that I recently moved or was that *my friend* I was talking to?”) but it’s definitely tripped me up in the past.
Almost like there needs to be a back up Kanban for the app roster 😂
