Sometimes I just don’t wanna subject the sophistication of the Oxford comma to lists like “tires, oil, and lube” and whatnot. It’s got that certain je ne sais quoi that I don’t want to offend.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
