Suggestions on how to spend the next year before starting MM PE gig? Don’t have a lot of modeling experience, any tips on prepping or is it mostly learning on the job?

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

How useful is having worked with the PE practice (deal strategy, CDDs, etc.) of a consulting firm vs any other one when trying to break into PE? I understand it's probably better to come from such units but I wanted to understand in which ways it helps. Is it actually irreplaceable skills vs understanding of sector dynamics vs pure prestige?
Ps assuming MBB/Tier 1 consulting firms

How can I try to get into VC? Particularly tough tech and things like robotics, automation, transportation, etc. I’m currently at T2 consulting in industrials and I’ve tried networking with a few VC firms in this space, but no luck.

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

How’s RGA for a CW?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Got laid off. Just started at the agency. Was so excited because it’s a great shop. Now what?

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

I’m doing pretty well professionally 🤷🏻‍♂️

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

Any good/cool small agencies (50-100) in Chicago?

Hi friends, I am reading this book ‘radical cander’ and was wondering if you have Fav way/ example of receiving and giving tough feedback? Or have any stories about feedback that have stuck with you through your career.

How does remote editing work? I haven’t ever made a TVC before so was curious about the process when doing it remotely.

I just noticed that I have a “touch base” scheduled for 9:15, then a “check in” at 11:00 on the same project.

I’ll let you know what the difference is when we circle back.
