Stab2: He dropps you off at your gate, helps you with your luggage and wishes you a safe trip. He pulls into the parking lot and begins to silently cry at all those moments he hated his job and wanted to do yours. You stand in line for coffee with lack of sleep last night, cursing the job you have and yet liking it for all the reasons you want.

My guess is a lot of these guys live south, do their one or two early AM rides to the airport and just go home for a couple hours until rush hour passes

Can they not pick people up from ATL? Traffic on the way home isn't too bad if he has a passenger

Legally no, but they do it anyways. The law is changing in June I believe

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.
