McK Super Day coming up and it’s over Zoom. I typically use noise canceling headphones for work but I look funny with them on camera. My laptop’s audio isn’t great so I want to use headphones (so that the interviewers can hear me well and reduce background noise), but at the same time I don’t want to look like a gamer on interview day 😑. Do I need to invest in some AirPods? I’ve used bootleg ones but they always fall out of my ears (there’s nothing I can do about my funky ears unfortunately)

The headphones probably aren't as bad as you say

They’re worse! I look like this (on a good day, maybe an amateur gamer. On a bad day, a brand new, clueless new hire at a call center). I’ve never tried pairing my headphones with a full on suit either. I want to laugh just imagining it lol

I recommend AirPods. The smaller size gives a more put together look.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
