Is testing a sunset industry?
McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

It's the toxic "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality of people who have no grasp (through wilful ignorance) of how challenging things have become for the younger generations.

For real. This isn't post WW2 where everything was easy peasy anymore. It's infuriating how hard it is to do anything. Just getting your car repaired can set you back months
I don’t know. I remember watching game shows when I was younger, and so many people wanted to put money away for their kids' college. As somebody who had to figure ALL of that out, it baffled me that people actually did that. On a nicer note, I will be putting away something for my kids to help them.
Something will be better than nothing. Looking into the 529 plans as well.
It must be a cultural thing, I have never encountered that (in a Chinese household), my parents were so selfless they would give everything they have for their kids. I have already put money away for my kids’ higher education.

It very well could be. I'm glad you had that experience and that you're also saving for your kids. I think its the responsible thing to do.

Nahh, there’s a difference between teaching grit and just watching people suffer knowing you can help out, especially loved ones

I believe my family would never let me be homeless, but they definitely don’t help with debt. It’s just kind of how they roll

Right?!
It irritates me so much the parents that have the mindset of “when you turn 21 you’re on your own”. Like you didn’t bring these kids into this world lol. You should support them no matter what and help where you can!!
Kids won’t wanna help their parents when they are old if they don’t get help when they need it!
So with you on this
