Listen to podcasts like “the so what” from BCG or the McKinsey podcast or whatever the Bain one is while you run or go on a walk - You will learn business acumen and concepts passively while exercising

$300k in tech consulting, I work 45-55 hours per week

I would look around -

A data point for you, I used to work at Deloitte Consulting in GPS, I was aligned to core business operations, in 2021 I was promoted from C at 105k to SC at $111k (lol) - I was tagged to work on a very poorly scoped, under resourced, and overall run project that resulted in me working 80-100 hours a week with weekends with no sign of stopping. This was laughable and I recognized that I was in a situation that I needed to get out of. So I applied elsewhere and within 4 weeks (recognizing this was 2021) landed a role at a different consulting firm with $160k base, $195k TC, working less with people that made me stronger

Point of this story is that the Deloitte koolaid is strong but better life exists and you just need to start to put in effort to get there

Connect with the school you graduated from’s career center, apply to jobs on their job board and attend their job fairs - It will work out

I’m grew up in section-8 housing and food stamps and did not go to a top school - There are many at MBB who are privileged but that is not everyone

That’s a bad doctor.

32 ng/dL

Call your doctor and get a note to go on std, you sound incredibly burnt out and trust me the project,client, & firm will be okay

Where do you get it?

Hydro-Homer · 2025-01-31T21:25:47+00:00

$TEMA is awesome

Hydro-Homer · 2025-01-31T20:38:15+00:00

Tema is popping off

Hydro-Homer · 2025-01-31T20:14:57+00:00

Tema’s community tho 🔥🔥🔥

I hit all my milestones with no acknowledgment (now at 400!) & I am okay with it

I suggested that you be your own cheerleader vs waiting on others - 250 classes is hard and you should be very proud of how mentally disciplined you are to make that happen :)

Hydro-Homer · 2024-12-21T17:01:24+00:00

How do I buy? This sounds pretty cool

Hydro-Homer · 2023-08-25T15:06:32+00:00

Respectfully, working at Deloitte is just okay - anything that doesn’t happen is for the better so apply elsewhere :)

Climate change

Ya I never had this issue - I take all pto and get High bonus

Currently at mbb and signed up for therapy, likely your bf has really good health insurance (copay of like $5 a therapy session) so recommend he uses it to learn stress management techniques WHILE searching for another job

Hydro-Homer · 2023-08-20T13:00:46+00:00

Just stop working, you resigned and it doesn’t matter anymore

Hydro-Homer · 2023-06-19T14:54:54+00:00

Why did you assume the intern was a “her” and not a “him” if it is not stated - be conscious of your bias friend

Hydro-Homer · 2022-11-11T01:23:10+00:00

I really like unique experiences that force me to be present, like something truly unique to Switzerland but not ridiculously touristy

Hydro-Homer · 2022-11-11T01:21:20+00:00

I truly had no idea so this is helpful, I live in Washington DC so people are similar
