When I do poorly, I get bad ratings which leads to less money. When I do well, I get more work dumped on me, which leads to less time. There’s no winning, is there?

There’s a grey area... where you do mediocre work and get less dumped on you but because of your networking skills you’ll get proper feedback and that’s where you operate.

Your “less money” is totally enough for 99% of the US population. Time to cruise and be happy.

Was thinking just that. Less money on a high earning salary, with less work but not fired sounds like a sweet spot to me. Just need to not be just bad enough.

And on some excellent personal performance years the market looks bad (covid, war, financial crash and what not). It takes more than one or two strokes of luck to get the prize.

When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
