It’s usually because the topic is something you should already know / understand and we’re annoyed we have to hold your hand.

Graduating in Fall 2021. Solid internship experience at D and a boutique consulting firm. Is it too late to try for MBB?

I was thinking of trying to lateral as I go to a non-target. Wondering if it’s worth applying now anyways.

Hi all! My hubby and I are were talking recently about starting a family. I just turned 29 and have been feeling like I’m behind with life, in a lot of things (work, life milestones, etc). I finally got a FT job last August after several years of contracts and unemployment so I’m grateful I have a steady income. I still have big career goals and want to eventually be promoted (wishful thinking).

My question is, will having children really hinder my career journey? Do I wait?
