I have just been telling my partner that all I want is a job lol. But in reality, something useful for the next stage, I.e., if consulting a nice carry-on. Something for a hobby: new camera lens, golf apparel, ski jacket, etc. Or something that you two can enjoy together: a nice trip, couples massage, a really nice dinner

A nice jacket is what im asking for

I think non-inclusive teams aren't revenue-efficient, but also aren't morally bad. Most just want to live in their bubble and not have their lives disrupted. If people want coworkers to talk football or cricket or fashion or LGBTQ+ rights with, that's entirely their prerogative. Companies and teams aren't just money printers, but also communities. You can't expect to fit into all communities.

I'm trying to choose between IBM Corporate Strategy and Innosight. I like both opportunities. Innosight pays more, but I've never had a big brand like IBM on my resume. Additionally, I'm worried whether Innosight's exit opportunities are slimmer than IBM. Would anyone have some advice on what I should pick / how I should think about this?
