Merry Christmas to you all.

And thank you for the voices of sanity this year!

I’m a single dad with 3 kiddos have a nanny but know how much are can take. What should I do?

What is grade 10 in NTT Data? I have 6 YOE. Is it the right grade to join?

How much of an issue is age when looking for a job at 57? How do you minimize the issue/spin it on a resume or during a call/interview?

Thoughts on delaying KG vs risking repeating it? My son (4, Aug bday) has never been in school but is so ready. Because of covid he never had preschool and we were horrible about teaching him stuff. I’m afraid he will struggle bc most kids have been to preschool or daycare. Thoughts? Also worst case - is it a bug deal if he has to repeat KG (versus me holding him back and putting him in Montessori).

We're always looking for new ways to make things easier for our customers and clients, but sometimes I just want to take a step back and breathe.

Does anyone feel that women in the same level as you are exclusive about their office friends? I’ve become friends with a bunch of guys but the girls have formed their own group without me - don’t know how to join in? Any thoughts?

Is there any cooling off period for getting promotion in tcs. Like the time period between 2 promotions.

What’s the craziest thing an MD/VP/Associate has ever asked you to do?

Today reminded why I used to hate making in-person appearances. An older male attorney sat down next to me on a bench and started making small talk. He then proceeded to make comments about my age “you’re about 20 something, right?” “Did you use a rolling backpack when you were in grade school?” and “what year did you graduate from high school?”. He had the audacity to ask me if I’m licensed to practice law. No, I just enjoy spending my Friday afternoons waiting around the courthouse wtf.

Hi everyone, a question to the tech industry at large.

Why are people so hesitant to hire disabled candidates?

I am a visually impaired practitioner in South Africa, with 7 years of experience, and as soon as recruiters or business owners hear/read that I'm disabled, the conversation gets awkward and I never hear from them again.

Which pension plan does KPMG UK use? I’m US based but needing to rollover my existing UK pension due to new job / new independence restrictions and trying to align plans. Thanks!

What type of work does McKinsey Digital (and the equivalent capability at BCG and Bain) really do? Is it high-level technology strategy? Or more hands on technical work?

In the spirit of “would you rather”, would you take Wharton with 75% tuition scholarship vs Harvard at full price? Assuming you are not trying to go PE/VC.

Anyone here has recently done laser hair removal? I had a consultation at LaserAway and they offered a package of 8 sessions to cover full leg + brazilian + underarms for $3.900. This is higher than what I was anticipating, but since their website has no info about prices is hard to know if this is a good deal or a total scam. Would love to hear how much you paid for a similar service. I’m in California if that helps! Thanks!!

Soho House membership in LA worth it?

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

53 here and thinking about the future - looking at a major decision point at 60 and then seeing where I am at that point. Opinions and plans on transitioning to “the next phase”?

Anyone else have trouble separating who you are from what you do? I think a lot of our generation built our self identity around our work. If I take my work away, I'm not really sure who I am.

Any male 🐟 that can share the experience of starting alpha blockers? I take it at bedtime and feel like I have a head cold in the morning. Dizzy all day too.

Has anyone here ever tried negotiating “at will” employment terms in the US? I’m curious what specific terms folks have asked for and how the potential employer reacted.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

Would you date a 30 year old? If so, why?

Do you use or have you used First Command Financial Planning? If so, what’s your experience with them?

Any thoughts on the put down, “Ok, Boomer”

What are the benefits of a trust in estate planning for a single person with assets around $2m?

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

S/O, kid and I getting the Pfizer vaccine on Monday. Parents got there’s last month. Wish us luck

At what age did you exit Consulting? Do you think all the traveling has affected your health adversely?

We're aiming to live long enough to spend it all. If we die younger there is a substantial estate and only nieces and nephews. I have three topics that I'm requesting your thoughts on before I engage an attorney;

How many of you have had to curse out our Millennial/Gen-Y friends about calling us old and inept.
