Stopping in Philly for one night...what's the best area to stay in? Would love to be walkable to a few good brewpubs, craft beer bars or breweries, esp. those with outdoor areas/beer gardens and in an area that's less urban and more residential ideally w. historic row houses. TY!

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

Anyone from Bain: can you comment on the local model? If you Qatar in Financial Services for example, can you stay in Ny. I like consulting, but not a huge fan of the travel.
