Notting Hill! All good, am social distancing but leaving house for walks and grocery runs! I keep going to the gym but not sure how long it’ll take before it shuts down 😩

Continue social distancing. A bunch of benched/unemployed consultants ain’t combating nothing besides depression and self pity.

You can follow the guidance and focus on containment. Be a responsible human being and community member. Lend your voice to encourage leaders to do the right thing. That should be everyone’s focus right now. Practice some self-care & wellbeing. Donate to causes that need cash right now.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Would anyone from Big 4, MBB, and Kearney be willing to give me some idea on why I’m not getting any first round interviews? Even with referrals I can’t even get a phone screen. I have great work experience with documented success. But it is 2 years of FT, 1 year of internship, and just graduated from a non-target MBA. Is it I’m asking for too much for associate?
