Inherited an Acura NSX from my uncle this month. It's a sweet car but I don't really need another one. Smart to hold on to or try to sell? Considering just saving it for when my son is able to drive (3 years), but who knows if 90s cars will still be cool to him then.

What happened to Jason Peterson? Did he move into a bunker to avoid all of the haters?

Has anyone transitioned from general corporate (M&A and CapM) to Tech Transactions? I'm a first year looking to do so. There's no TTG in my office, so it might require a change of geography. Could I leave to do this after my first year (I've heard it's very hard to lateral before then)? Thanks!

It’s been one hell of a year 😔 I lost my MIL and my aunt who was more like a mom to me within 2 weeks of each other in July. Yesterday, spouse lost his grandfather. I’ve never fully grieved the loss of my aunt nor MIL. I became a workaholic, recently joined Deloitte and losing a loved one again is just too much. I’m not trying to let it impact my work but it’s so much. I’m trying to keep it together

Hello Fishes,

I received offer form Mindtree and I have accepted too. They have given me joining date as 15th November. But in my current company they extended my lwd. I requested my spoc from Mindtree for extending my joining date by a week. I haven't heard anything from Mindtree after the mail and spoc is not attending my calls now.
Do anyone faced similar situation and do Mindtree is very stringent with extending joining date??

TIA

Upstairs neighbor is super loud because he has full hard wood floors and walks around like he doesn’t care. I knocked on his door for the first time and told him he’s being super loud and asked him to be more mindful. He agreed, but I don’t think it’s going to change since he’s just walking. My complex has an 80% carpet rule that he’s not following (I literally saw nothing but hardwood floor in his place when he opened his door). I’m trying not to be a Karen about it, but my whole apartment…

Hi energy fish, I’m currently in the process of breaking into the energy industry. My education is in energy engineering but I got sidetracked. Now, what is better as a pivot point for later exits and continued career path in energy: A) joining Guidehouse in the energy team or B) joining a T2 in the energy team or C) joining MBB as a generalist but network my way into energy work? TIA ❤️

I’m jealous of all the support & praise Simone Biles is getting for stepping away from competition to focus on her mental health. I’m on the edge of my breaking point and wish I could press pause and step away with the same support.

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

Which credit card do you think is the best for ME consultants?

I tried so hard to get referrals from ME consultants, here and on LinkedIn. Everyone just ignores, don’t even ask for resume, very strange. I applied to MBBs anyway and heard back. So if you also find it hard to get referrals, just go for it :)

Would anyone consider referring me to Bain/McKinsey/Kearney/Oliver Wyman in Doha or Dubai? Consultant in London wanting to move to ME.

Anyone referring to Technology Consulting roles? Happy to make my case!

Am I a back up for the firm?
I passed the first round of interview at a t2 firm in the Middle East but they put changing the time for final round interview. It has been more than two months and my final round slot still cannot be confirmed. They say that it is because of Christmas time and things. Is this normal? 
Am I just a backup for them? (like they would only let me interview if they need people desperately.)
Is it even good to join if I get the offer given the situation?

Anyone knows what’s the total comp for a senior consultant in financial services at Accenture Dubai ( 5 YOE) ? Thank you
