Everyone from a barista to the CEO of a startup has a quarter life crisis at 25. It's not new, you're not alone. Hell I freaked out and bought a house at 25 because it felt like my life wasn't "progressing". It goes away, just try to enjoy the moments. I echo finding a hobby, talking to the family more and trying to think more in "we" than "me" in your dating life.

^^ good point. To add to it, don't get caught up in the crisis because once you hit 28-30 time starts to speed up and then your 36 with a couple babies.

like

It's because your seeing what life is really like? Honestly man, if you are industry now and have time, find a hobby that will occupy your time. If you are anything like the typical consultant you probably need to be busy or otherwise engaged all the time lol.

Dating life is lacking, family relationships could be stronger. I feel like I'm having a quarter life crisis. Has anyone else been in a similar place? Any advice?

Just join consulting back again, at least you won't feel left out.

Apart from that, I'd say travel the world and find yourself - it don't matter where you work as long as you feel good about it and clearly you're struggling.

I think my brother is an idiot when it comes to his dating life. He recently started dating someone that the whole family loves - really down to earth, great personality, educated, hot and has a career. I just found out my bro is cheating on her with his ex (who is toxic/manipulative, stole money from my mother & doesn’t have a job or trying to get one). From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead

My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

Hello everyone, I am a fresher and I recently joined a management consulting firm(3 months) with 12+LPA and I realised MC is not for me.
I tried giving it a shot for the first 2 months but then I am just dragging there after. Anyhow yk how it's in MBA, campus placement leli without a thought plus lack of experience in everything. It's tough out there.
I am desperate to switch to creative/marketing/branding/advertising. If anyone could help/guide/refer me in the right direction that'd be great.
