Thinking about opening up a bar. Found a beat up building that needs a lot of work. Might get it situated and repaired and then opening it. Not sure if i want to quit and run it or hire a GM. Any advice?

I actually know an alum from my school that did just this. He quit being a lawyer, got some silent partners, and manages now 2 of his own bars. Every time I see him he looks happy. He also said his legal background helped him with contracts, real estate, meetings, hiring. You name it. Our legal skills are quite transferrable. Good luck!

How much experience do you have running a business / bar? If you’re not too terribly experienced, I’d hire a trustworthy GM. You can learn from them and eventually take over one day when you’re tired of your day job or involve them as a partner going forward.

If you’ve never managed or run a bar/restaurant you should hire someone with experience doing so. Be an hands-on owner for sure, but get the place off to a good start.

Second what JLC1 said. I am in a family of restaurant/bar owners. Hard but rewarding work in a different way. There are many days I fantasize about quitting the BL grind and putting my energy into growing the businesses!

I had an interview with hexaware technologies ,
From my side I think the interview went well.
I gave all the answers, but the interview got finished with 17 minutes.

The guy told me what their stack is, and how many openings are there.
And he wrapped up the call.
He didn't mention anything, like hr will be connecting with you, or if there will be any more rounds.

It happened yesterday, what should I do. Should I follow up with the HR?

Curious if anyone has made the shift to Mckinsey from tech? I have an offer to come into Expert (but with expectations that I hit Associate Partner quickly):

Salesforce - 200k base, 40k (opening) + 50k (year 1) + 75k (year 2) RSUs, 15% Bonus

Mckinsey - 215k base, 35k bonus, 75k signing bonus

I know the salaries at Mckinsey skyrocket when you hit Partner - but the work-life balance and benefits at Salesforce cannot be underestimated - and my RSUs keep getting larger and larger...thoughts?
