Thank you so much! Could I email you my resume?

Friendly reminder that Arlington is fairly close to Fort Worth but McKinney will be a drive

Yes… I remember the traffic. Trying to find somewhere in the middle, but I think McKinney will be a haul no matter what…another friend told me to find work first, then schools and home. She has a 2 hour commute each day in DFW.

Look in Flower Mound for all three. We are happy with SPED and saw success with autistic kids my youngest was friends with. It's as close to halfway between Arlington and McKinney as possible. My commute is less than hour everyday almost anywhere except farthest east parts of DFW.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.

These family members conditions made me reevaluate how I want to spend my life. I am 35 this year and I can’t decide if I should take great vacations with my kids or keep living a frugal life. Do you have the same dilemma?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
