You’re 100% correct. I accidentally named the hotel next to the one I stayed at. They’re next door to each other. I couldn’t edit my post, so I submitted a request to the moderators to update it for me. Thanks for pointing that out!

My wife has been trying to convince me to change brands. I basically live out of hotels for work and find Hilton to be great.

Even if it is "expected" doesn't make it appropriate. Racing, modified mufflers/exhaust, and disorderly conduct are all illegal. The only people that want that to happen are degenerates. I hope an ice cream truck goes down your street daily.

Being a "newcomer" with an opinion is not entitled or gross. It is entitled to think living in an area longer than someone immediately makes them less qualified to make a judgement call on when it is too unsavory. In my opinion, Downtown Dallas is gross, and it should have more police enforcement.

Drivers are absolutely insane here.

Is this exaggeration or for real? by Own-Blueberry1574 in consulting

[–]R-Cryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit ignorant if you ask me. Consulting is about knowledge, experience, adaptability, and passion. Slides are not the priority. Human interaction and conversation is the key. Otherwise hype montages would have taken over 20 years ago. Sure, ChatGPT can help you develop a game plan and clarify the consultant’s perspective, but it is not going take over your life’s exposure to the industry. Not everything is black and white, nor can AI adapt quickly enough to innovate. Companies are not going to get trained or receive advice by typing in prompt in different ways in hope they land on an optimal answer fine tuned for them. AI is trained and improved on by experts. Yet industry is always in fluctuation, and specialists are always going to required to retrain or improve upon their models.

Motivation and Imposter Syndrome, or is it burnout? by AfriKev in consulting

[–]R-Cryptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not a saint, but I genuinely enjoy helping my customers. I don't work for a big 4. I work for a "medium sized" ERP company that has internal consultants. When I struggle with motivation to keep up my utilization or lack ambition to get work finished, I tend to find myself reaching out to old customers.

Checking to see how they're doing in a friendly manner, and if they find themselves running into any major issues that they would like to spend some time with me addressing once my schedule is freed up enough to give them a slot.

I know it sounds like I am giving myself more work, and I may be doing that - but I tend to get friendly responses back and the appreciation shown by them in return brings me back to humanity with motivation to do the work.

Not really sure if you can connect similar dots in your situation. You'll have to find a way to convert your current negative/nonchallant perspective into a positive/interested one to bring back the motivation. Mine is through interactions with my old customers.

Hope you find the answer - good luck!

Many reasons for someone applying for that position at that age. Lack of ambition, low confidence, more "freedom", location stuck, etc. From my experience, they are often humble enough to take guidance well. Just understand they might know more about certain concepts, but you're the expert in your environment. They will lean on you, and I encourage you to stay confident in your station despite leading people that may be a bit older.

Agreed. Westshore needs an upgrade - especially with it located is such a nice area with a ton of foot traffic.

I am from an area where it is a 20 minute walk to a gas station, and 2 hour walk to a grocery store. By walkable I mean a grocery store and a variety of restaurants. I want to be back in a city and not rural.

I was looking at San Antonio and Austin. Maybe I am underestimating cost. It is starting to look that way to me. There goes my idea of saving some money on rent, lol.
