What do consultants do? I see Consultant titles pop up on here all the time and wonder what do y’all do? What are you consulting on? Seems interesting but i I googled and am still confused.

Girlsplaining consulting: companies in their flop era hire us for ungodly amounts of money to yessify their problems and we usually use PowerPoints to do it

We also gaslight companies into thinking something else is wrong and we can fix it but really it’s just more PowerPoints :)

Have you ever copied a friends paper but reworded it so you don’t get caught?
But you get a better grade somehow.


That’s what I do at work, but for “tech strategy”.
I just say what you say but make it sound ✨cool✨

My work is kinda like if a company had a life coach slash therapist, but one who did most of the hard work of change FOR you. So it depends on what a given client is struggling with or needs, then the goal is to basically fix that for them in a sustainable way so it stays fixed. And they pay us money, and they more or less get to take credit for the positive changes (or blame the firm for negative stuff).

Consultants are frequently someone who has experience in things that a client doesn't, and who comes in and solves a problem or manages a project that is temporary in nature.

The client pays more for the convenience of having an expert for a specified amount of time so that they don't have to hire someone, when having that talent in-house is either too expensive for the long term, or because that talent isn't even available locally.

Additional Posts in Confession

When I’m in a heated argument with someone close to me, I want to isolate from them and can be perceived as giving the silent treatment or being short. But on the inside, I go through sad thoughts such as feeling like my presence is a burden, that I’m an annoyance, and dont want to bother you again by reminding you of my presence, and would rather leave you alone😢.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

My uncle I met a week ago suddenly died. He hid his heart condition from his wife, my aunt. He was having tea in the morning when he had a stroke. She did not have a last word or consider the possibility that he’d pass away so suddenly and soon. She is beating herself up over how he left and they didn’t have a chance to talk that morning. Fishes, sharing this so you call your loved ones today and not take people for granted.

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...

180k condo in booming area close to downtown or 85k condo in the suburbs?

I make 150, with no debt (car, student loans, etc), graduated 2021, and want to ensure I can invest and live comfortably. The total payment/HOA difference between the two is $1250 and $550 per month.

I’m thinking the appreciation will be much better in the 180K condo, but I think the 85K condo will allow me to invest in more rentals.

Weirdly enough renting in the same areas would be $1500+ for a smaller place🤷🏽‍♂️
