Be open to taking on any role and do not expect much coaching / guidance. You will have to be willing to push yourself to learn as quickly as possible

Do get all the I just moved tasks done ( assuming that applies). Pay attention during training. Meet everyone. Hope for a great first case. Be a self starter. Ask for help sooner rather than later, getting clarification is fine, but don't ask someone to hold your hand. Just jump in and do it, then ask for feedback.

As someone who is at a lower tier consultancy, congrats to you. Well deserved. Secondly, unlike me, be proud of where you are because you have a reason. Lastly, use that well-endowed MBB paycheck to ball.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
