Hello! I'm currently an associate consultant in the United States. I was wondering if anyone has any tips/suggestions or referrals for a Project Coordinator or Junior Project Manager role? I'm currently studying for the CAPM exam and will apply for new positions in 2 months or so.

Used to be EXP on American, haven't flown them in a while and now no status. want to use miles for a flight, but they're charging $75 processing bc it's within 21 days. Any way around this?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

McK AMA. On PTO this week and next. What do you want to know?

Is Boston nice to travel to in the winter? I have a month off between when I graduate in December and when I begin work in February and always wanted to go to Boston. Plan on going for a few days then going back in the summer. I’m from NY so used to the cold. Worth it or no?

How much international travel do you do? How many YOE do you have? Do you travel business class?

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

I own a 1973 Chevy nova and and a 1988 Dodge ramcharger. Eventually I want to put a 6.6L duramax in the nova, and make it into a sleeper/fun weekend car, restomod the interior for comfort, convenience and tech etc. Then I want to put a Cummins in the Ramcharger and make it into kind of an overland/back country truck that I can still take down the road to get to the back country. Also restomod it for comfort, convenience and tech. Thoughts ?

Starting to get a persistent eye twitch. Hasn’t gone away for months. Advice?

Wanting to make a shift into strategy/mgmt consulting from HealthIT. Any good books out there to help prep? Looking for anything but preferably technical information to prepare for an interview.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.

EY versus AWS. Better culture , work life balance , benefits , long term potential ? I’m not talking about pay (AWS is about $80k more) just trying to gage the other factors.
