Bcos of it's capitalistic emphasis on productivity, the "live to work" culture, etc. High achievers thrive in that setup.

Yes its better than in Europe. Over here (EU) things are normalized more, the playing field is levelled to a certain extent. In US you will make hella $ if you’re a top performer.

If you’re not very fortunate or not a hard worker, you most definitely want to be in Europe.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Hey fishies, I have a friend who is interested in becoming a consultant but he’s taken an interesting path, would love your advice on any good angles he could take for applying/ types of roles. He has a bachelors in science (chemistry maybe?) from H/Y/P and after undergrad he took a less traditional route and was working as an instructor for things like tennis, piano, snowboarding, etc.. He’s a really smart, personable person who I think would be great in consulting. (Continued)
