It makes me laugh when people in consulting say Sunday Scaries #babies

Well to be frank, I worked in both industry and consulting. It works with both. I know consultants like to think they do the hardest job in the world, but maybe that's not the case. Difficulty is based on the he individual.

@D2, I should have been more specific - I meant when the person has a 9-5 job that requires no travel

Wait no way someone said that today and no offense but dude you still haven't graduated college and don't even have a job yet you can't talk to me about the Sunday scaries

I don't think we have the scaries due to travel. It's probably moreso having to face and deal with people and problems that we don't want to. Really not much different than what some people face in industry.

Truth

I think the term overall is dumb, but everyone I know says it in the meaning of anxiety from drinking and not sleeping all weekend. Like the "shakes" the next day after having too much to drink. Again, I think this is stupid.

It was extended before the recent announcement that TCs are going up but I don’t know if I’d be impacted regardless.

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
