I know, I’m just like this. On my current case, my EM makes me feel like total shit, while the partners/APs are giving me lovely feedback (thank god it’s a balance or I would shut down).

I do a few things:
1) I solve for people that make me feel like a success (whilst challenging me to be better) - there is a huge difference in style which I know impacts my mood and motivation so try to optimize for teams that make me feel good
2) I always say in team norm sessions that a bit of positive feedback goes a long way, and I know about myself that if I feel like I’m performing well I’ll be far more confident and motivated
3) I keep a ‘happy emails’ file on my computer, whenever anyone says something nice to me I save it there. Then when I’m made to feel useless I can read through and remind myself I’m not.

Would love any other’s advice?

You really aren’t as bad as you feel you are right now, you’re just in the thick of a tough environment ❤️

Whats the expected range for fixed costs (rent, childcare, other family activities) for a family with 2 under 2? Targeting at least a 2br/2ba apartment in either Manhattan or Brooklyn. Would be great if you could share your profession and approx. household income, that allows you to make your ends meet! We have a consultant and a medical resident, so not hurting but also not abundant discretionary income

Gainesville looks pretty dry in terms of good options from what I've seen: would be looking for mid-price + a nice practice facility.

Hi ENFPs!

What do you do when you’re in a new city by yourself (for work)? Do you explore activities / restaurants / etc. solo? What’s your approach, especially given the short timeline for a study?

Hi everyone!! This is exactly the group I've been looking for. I'll be starting my new (and first) consulting job at ZS Associates at the end of the month and I'm so nervous that I'll crash and burn. I'm very proud to be an ENFP, but the flaws that come along with it (distraction, procrastination, disorganization) seem like a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure if I should spend this next month trying to change my habits or if I should just embrace it. Anyway, what advice do you all have?
