Expensive. Happy with my M1 Macbook Air.

I wait so long just for it to be so expensive

Getting rid of the Touch Bar that changed icons based on app context is not cool. I love it on my 16” 2020 MacBook Pro

Pretty much everything I’ve been waiting for. I was surprised to see the HDMI, headphone, and SDCard slots come back, I had already resigned myself to them being gone. Intel hardware has stagnated for several years and I hated the Touch Bar. Placing the order today to replace my 2012 first-gen retina. I’m getting a $200 trade-in for a 9 year old machine!

Expensive
Awesome

They have really pushed it back up to Pro status which has brought that level of price.

I have a new M1 Air with 1TB storage I got 2 months ago. Debating on swapping it for the Pro

Plz tell me it's touch screen. I haven't seen the videos yet.

It’s going to have killer GPU performance but no games to play on it

I broke my foot a few weeks ago and sitting at my desk in a cast is incredibly uncomfortable still. But, the work I do can’t really be done from the couch as there is too much paperwork involved that I prefer to physically spread out. I am a true solo. So, I am my only accountability. I’m usually pretty good about getting going, but I’m stalled out. Send me some tough love to get me going today.

I’ve spent 4 years in Big 4, with about half that time in FDD. I feel like Corp Dev is what I ultimately want, but am wondering if a stint in banking could be worth it. If I’m not interested in PE or other buyside alternatives, is the pit stop in IB worth it?
Mainly wonder if IB is a must have box to check, or if you can work your way up the ladder without.

Additional Posts in Consulting

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.

Need advice and pep talk because I’m certain I have chronic imposter syndrome :( Background on me, I have about 6 years of work experience post college but have gone through many companies because of layoffs and/or reorgs. With that, I’ve bounced a lot with different industries and have done different roles for a year max. My current role is about to be my longest (thank goodness, hitting about 2 years) but I feel like I’m not a SME in anything but I feel embarrassment for myself (Cont.)

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....
