Domestic > OCONUS.

Don’t @ me. Idgaf. You know it’s true.

Need to also look at BB, MM, etc.

Deal advisory at big4 - you get more exposure to a larger range, quantity and size of deals. The flip side, you are focusing on more specialized aspects of the deal (i.e., due diligence, carve-out, integration).

After i cleared all the rounds. HR told me- initially we were hiring for 2 positions one is filled already & other one is in hold due to recession. After 2 weeks i got a call from them asking me if i am still interested they have re-opened and now i am again waiting for the offer letter they said it will take 2 days for approval from finance

This just concerns me -
Will there be quality work after i join?
Do they really need me? Will my position be valued?
Should one join such a company?

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.
