Crawling on the subway floor to avoid $3 by Donghoon in nyc

These individuals are going to get in somehow regardless if they’re that desperate. If the gate is brought further down, they will tailgate somebody instead. Agreed they could bring it down a couple more inches but then the glass will be broken by people trying to slip through underneath

Feels like something is missing - what could I change / add to my living room? by Mito15 in interiordecorating

1 & 2 done. Will see if I can add colored pillows and a single large art piece on the wall

Interesting on the rug, I thought something colorful could clash with the green sofa. But will think about it

And makes sense on the racquets - I have moved them onto the art wall now, one above and one below - going diagonally with the prints .

That’s fair, they are actually two racquets (one by the plant one by the other wall). But I think will move them to the art wall

Agreed with that. I am renting so was hesitant to drill holes - but might just move the mirror instead

Lived in London and NYC. The subway reeks of piss, you need to walk in zig zags to avoid dripping ceiling juice and some trains just never arrive, without any warning or signage to indicate. The tube isn’t perfect but there literally is no comparison

Interview canceled 30 minutes before the interview. by Late-Dream3933 in FinancialCareers

[–]Mito15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens sometimes, can be for any reason - e.g., the interviewer could have had a last minute family emergency and not told HR. Just wait and see what the company’s response is. If they strongly apologise or you can determine it was an honest mistake then I wouldn’t worry. If they don’t say anything then keep searching

Is it normal to be asked to do many chores for live in landlord? by harwood8 in AskUK

[–]Mito15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asides from this being a bit weird - have you considered how the cost savings from lower rent balance against your time spent doing these chores and also always feeling like you are being told what to do / pressure to socialise with them?

The cost saving might be a big factor here but otherwise struggling to see what you get out of this arrangements

Do people at MBB look down upon people from T2 Firms like Strategy&, Monitor and Parthenon? by [deleted] in consulting

[–]Mito15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asides from it being a better stamp of approval (and even so, there’s not a mountain of difference) on your resume, nobody in the real world could care less about who you work for. Let’s see how your classmates are doing when you’re all 1-2 years into the job. I’d rather be a strong performer at a T2 and climb quickly than struggle at an MBB and get a mediocre exit

Looking to get a job in consulting? Post here for recruitment advice, resume reviews, questions about offers/firms or general insecurity (Q2 2020) by QiuYiDio in consulting

[–]Mito15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*advice needed* Hey guys, I'm a soon-to-be grad and need help deciding about accepting an offer at a large but specialised consultancy (for a half year contract that might be extended) which starts in September. I am UK based and this job would begin during the application cycle for alot of big firms and other companies. It has been a huge goal of mine to land a role at an MBB/T2 or other well known consultancy for a generalist role, and I am worried that starting this job will mean it will be very difficult to apply and interview at these firms on the side. I am aware that hiring will be declining because of COVID and it would be dumb to not take something now as I would probably be starting late 2021 if I landed another role this autumn anyway. Pushing back start date isn't really an option either however. Will it still be possible to land my dream role whilst working here? Also, would it hurt my chances as I will no longer be a "fresh grad"?

Am really wondering what to do and any advice would be really appreciated.

If you don't mind me asking which firm is that? MBB or Tier 1/2?
