Standing in line. This is my 5th market, and I have never lived in a place that looks so highly upon the concept of standing in line and waiting for something.

I think there is an extreme correlation between willingness to stand in line and age/years lived here

Ooo I hope this one gets spicy. I don’t know what is most surprising but my hot take is that Terry Blacks is completely overrated and there’s less lines and lower cost at Rudy’s 5 min down the road.

Also the Domain is incredibly overrated and idk why people want to LIVE there.

MAS1 yes, I think that one’s very overrated. The actual grocery part is small relative to sunset valley. I don’t need all the extra hanging out and bar and restaurant at my HEB like there is at Lake Austin location 😂

Migas. These are just scrambled eggs.

Why does everyone say that starting in Big 4 (or consulting in general) right out of school is great long term? Do other places (industry, tech firms, etc) reach out to you personally for good exit opportunities? Will probably be accepting my offer with Big 4 but I really don’t want to do this long term at all. How long should I stay (I want to stay max 3 years for my mental health, but again, I would like to project my career forward so not sure).
