So I’m an MBA student, struck out of MBB and consulting internships in general. Still in the running for PM roles but I still feel defeated because I thought I’d have a chance. Does prestige matter in the long run? I know i can apply again for full time next year but man this process is draining. Also just feeling like a failure in general

Thats the thing, I haven’t heard back, but i know other people in our class who heard back a week or two ago regardless if they got offers or not. The holding pattern of hell sucks. I did more cases than most people and usually performed well. I felt fine during the interviews too but thats why i want feedback

A ton of people get picked up year 2 especially at m7

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you.

I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?
