When you go to a team dinner and they want to order “family style”.....

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

Congratulations!! You are getting that email, call and a meeting to announce the highest salary you have ever received in your career.

Is a 900k net worth for a single person at almost 40 good or terrible? I see posts from our US counterparts on net worth and salary and feel so behind yet we have such a high COL in Toronto.

Got an offer from OW entry level London.

Does it make sense to join if I don't really have much passion for FS?

Other offers are EY-P, Marakon, LEK, OC&C

Any thoughts??

Most of my bowls are currently all about lay-offs and long times in between client projects, regardless of industry/function. Am curious if we sustainability folks are feeling it as much as the rest of our businesses? Have you seen steep drops in commercial activity or do you feel the upswing in ESG continues to buck the trend?

On average, have you seen VCR and CTR are inversely correlated? (When you click out on a video player, does that stop the tracking for quartile completions?)

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

Currently at 170 pounds (5'9 height if that matters) and want to go to about 145. Any thoughts on how to do so in a sustainable and non intrusive way to my lifestyle? I'm okay with it taking 6 mos.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate.
