My SM. He just manages to win both us and the clients over and everybody respects him. Fun guy too and great to talk to casually

A&C

Dunno if best but my old senior should get kudos for always having a great attitude. Woke up chipper with a customer service smile for early meetings and then gunned it till 9 pm. The impressive part is, as far as I can tell, hes kept this up every day the entire time hes been on that project (like a year+). I want to bet its adderall, tbh.

Boss at previous job was a consultant in a previous life. Asked for input. Asked for feedback. Incorporating both. Great attitude. Came with the fun, too. Smartest person I’d ever worked with day to day. He made me so much better. Still reach out when we are in the same city.

It's always tough, but this year it has felt impossible to stay on top of grading. Sure, there are online quizzes the computer can grade for you, but that data is so limited. What about the steps they took to get that answer on the math problem? I need to see it to know what they missed... Between submission of blurry photos and going through the process of uploading, downloading, and squinting to see their work, it takes me 20x longer to grade work for my digital kids. #thestruggle

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
