This bowl seems very tech driven - looking for exits and setting realistic expectations on possibility of non-FAANG. What other startups do you target and what are potential things to look out for?

My company is now displaying!

Campus kid I was helping out with interview prep had his first round with EY today and asked me to refer him to EY. I just can't. 🤔 Also, I moved to industry, so I'm not even with EY anymore. 🙄

I need some advice, Wife forced me to buy her a $68,000 car with 1000/monthly payment for 6 years. We need to sell now due to potential move out of country. Best offer from dealers is 52k. Meaning I have to cough up the difference or keep paying 1k a month for something we don’t need. How can I reduce this liability??

Just "wolf whistled" instead of saying my name on a client call. My young female client took it as a compliment.

Late night thoughts - I cannot figure out when to throw in the towel on consulting. I just switched to a Big 4 role two weeks ago and I feel like my stress has shot up significantly. I hate traveling for work and I want a role with good WLB. I know two weeks is nothing and I feel like a failure for giving up so easily but I feel I'm just not made out for this kind of life. Should I just suck it up and stick it out for two more years for the exit opps?

What are the hidden truths or ‘unspoken rules’ people aren’t told about consulting when being recruited to [insert your firm’s name here]?

I wish every Sunday could feel like this. When you've just rolled off a project and in the pleasant shade of some beach time

How much difference is there in the exit opps between having big 4 on your resume vs just a mid-size? For both advisory vs audit/tax? At BDO and feels like I will be at a huge disadvantage in the future....

The delta gate told me that I hit the jackpot although I paid the full price for my first class ticket.

Has anyone been called in for a random “Talent Discussion” before with a partner or principal? The topic is confidential and I have to come into the office. Is this good or bad? Just not sure.

Protip: Compose your emails *before* drinking and set Outlook to send them later in the evening. This way, it still looks like you're working late when you're really passed out on the hotel bed.💤🍺🍸

Top product consultancies? Are those typically niche firms?

Is it ok to ask a client to start meetings at 10 AM because junior team member has childcare responsibility?

Why do I give myself so much work...?
