What is the meaning and purpose of life? It can’t be just repackaging old decks with new logos year over year!?

Depends on your perspective.

I find it hard to believe and I think even the science world is accepting, that this world cannot all be just “random.”

That would mean we are created and if we were created (by God) then there must have been a purpose for our creation.

Depending on which God you believe in, will determine your purpose. As a Christian, my goal is to continually open my heart to Jesus, allowing Him to fill my life with love. It’s only then, that that love can be radiated to everyone I meet. It’s easy to say you love someone, and to say you love your friend etc. it’s another thing to have sacrificial, compassionate and genuine love for even the homeless person on the street, and I believe this is perfected when we commune with God, which is our purpose.

What helped me with the pressures in consulting was keeping this perspective. It’s only a job. We have bigger things to do in life- show some love.

It’s art. It was a robot programmed to to scoop up that red hydraulic liquid if it pooled too far. In between working it also performed human like dance moves for the audience. The artists left the meaning open to interpretation. One interpretation out there on TikTok is the following:

“…how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives. to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed. How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves”

The meaning of life is not found at work. We work to be able to maintain and sustain our lives outside of work.

Not that’s not the meaning of life.

It’s to sell projects where other people do that.

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.

Is it possible to negotiate your consulting level when joining a firm post MBA? I did ~2.5 years consulting (analyst > sr analyst) then left right before I got promoted to associate. Left to a Chief of Staff role (1 yr) then did strategy & Ops at the same company (1.5 years). Getting my MBA beginning fall 2023 and thinking of doing consulting again after I graduate but I think I would be coming in at the level I was before I left which is off putting for me.
