Truth!

Consider it the love island and then you’ll feel the love and hate relationship with your work!

This is my current situation. I’m on an island trying to reach out to people and most of the times I get no response.

Sometimes, it looks like I might get some help but nah, those ships turn back around.

How do you manage burnout while also job hunting? Miserable after pushing so hard during the pandemic and got royally screwed over by my current company a few months ago. I’m miserable, near tears, throughout every work day. I’m job-hunting, but I’m in a niche field so the opportunities are few and far between. The thought of carrying on with this for months is unbearable, and even new jobs don’t excite me bc I don’t have anything left to make an amazing first impression all over again.

How to deal with being rejected from a consulting job you want?

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

I'd like to hope one day I could get into big 4 or even MBB.
