Name, previous company, fun fact. If you don’t have a fun fact, tell them what country you want to travel to next

I would just tell them that I’m Ex-McKinsey. I might mention my name.

Hey Anaplanners - how do you describe what Anaplan is & what it does in the most simple/MECE way?

I’ve recently been staffed on a deal with a partner (& one of the dept. chairs), a 1st year associate & summer associate (I’m class of 2018). I’m being given the opportunity to draft the main transaction documents, run diligence & for all intents and purposes serve as the senior associate. I generally feel as though I understand a transaction timeline & am appreciative of the opportunity/ challenge but any tips/ considerations/ things I may overlook would be appreciated.

Need advice. My roommate has anxiety/depression and has been experimenting with drugs like ketamine. He’s always been super chill but freaked out on me violently last week over something small and made me feel super unsafe (I think he was on drugs). Found a new place to move to but idk how to tell him because idk how to react. I want to tell him the day I’m leaving when the movers come but I feel like that might trigger him too. Thoughts? I’d be ending our joint lease, I can afford it, he cant.
