This sounds silly but how would your managers handle you being late to a meeting bc public transportation was delayed? I’m a little nervous

First off it's not a silly question but a very legit one. My advice would be communicate on time that you are going to be a bit late and you need more time so that they can know how to proceed without you or at least until you get there. Just make sure it does not happen several times because now it won't seem believable moving forward. Plan your time to wake up earlier than usual if you expect traffic or any form of details.
Best Wishes!

I'm never late, so I think mine would be understanding. If that's true for you too, I'd expect the same from yours. Just give them a heads up if you know or think you'll be late. It happens and shouldn't be a huge deal.

I'd suggest calling or texting the office as soon as you know there's a problem. I think anyone understands that public transportation can have problems and there's not much anyone can do about it once you're stuck in the mess. If it's something that happens often, you may hear suggestions to find a more reliable route, but if it's an isolated event it probably won't mean much.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
