So I am now in a top MBA and going into a tier1/MBB consulting firm.
I started my career in my families business we’re I worked really hard but did not feel very appreciated. I ended up leaving to live with my partner in another country and tried to enter investment banking knowing that I wanted to get an MBA. I had to take an internship and then got hired by a bank, soon enough I got fired but hired by a Big 4 ( start of covid) ended up getting laid off.

Once I got my pre MBA internship I was asked to not do my MBA from the firm and they would put me in a post MBA position. I declined. I did not end up getting the Investment banking job but a consulting one. I’m scared I’ll screw this up cause I have to move with my partner to a new location and I don’t want to get fired …

There’s only one way to find out. Go get ‘em!

I feel like a failure as a parent at times - my youngest daughter is extremely anxious about middle school and in the first week has already had two emotional breakdowns. She is so worried about people picking on her and not having friends. I have reached out to the counselor and principal with hopes to get her some support in school, but I can’t do anything to make it better. I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.
