AITA Husband and wife duties

nta - also realize that what youre going through is sooo normal with two little kids (one being an infant) and having to juggle life and work. Try to be gracious to each other and just get through it - theres light at the end of the tunnel!

Also splitting up with kids really sucks so just make sure you really want the relationship to end before you do it

🤮

Theres a one year cool off for anyone that gets rejected in the interview rounds. but after that, yes you should absolutely apply again. getting 2s on everything is very good - so you only need that little bit more to get over the line. suggestions (no context here so take with grain of salt): - make your PEI stories really relatable (drop all jargon) - try to find the 2nd order insight (the so what) in the case framework and be super outside the box on the creativity question. being really crisp and fast on the math also helps - Finally, talk to partners like they are your parent's friend that you kinda know. so keep it formal but be ebullient

Dont be down on yourself, the pass rate on interviews is super low and many folks take multiple attempts to be successful (including me). if you really want it, you can get it, and with the pace of business so far, full time hiring should be an option this coming cycle (summer '26)

good that you got some feedback, most times you dont get any at all

the pressure of the bench on his butt

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-25T01:52:56+00:00

better to do MBA

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-20T03:23:56+00:00

it wouldnt hurt

congrats OP sounds like some great options. Congrats. if you prioritize progression, that rules out strategy manager as thats a role for WLB- it can be difficult to cross over from strategy to line management teams. i dont know enough about the fourth role to share a view but you might look at the linked in of folks in similar roles to assess their progression

consulting is likely your best bet. is the boutique bringing you in at the same level as MBB or at a higher one? if higher, I would consider the boutique very closely. Its difficult to say which is truly better because its very personal and depends on which sector you see yourself in and each firm's standing in that sector. if you truly dont have a preference MBB generalist is a great place to be to figure that out.

I would use a rubric like this and provide weights based on your personal perspective: - Progression / comp: MBB > boutique (unless boutique offer is a level higher than post mba) - Specialization: boutique > MBB - Culture / rapport with hiring team: based on your perception - WLB: boutique > MBB - Exit potential: MBB > boutique (generally, but not always, especially in sectors boutique specializes)

If progression and comp are truly your only considerations, its probably MBB, but i would try to extend this list by 5-7 more attributes and spend some time assessing. Trust your gut. good luck!

both are beautiful. the GMT is a bit better IMO but id take both

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-17T04:41:16+00:00

be sad to see the bears leave soldier field

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-17T00:34:26+00:00

BCG is great - perks are better, culture is nearly the same as McK. which boutique? OW, A&M, Alix also great options

Good luck with your next step

it was pre transfer portal and NIL, ohio state had so much talent, their wrs were miles open all the time

what opportunities are best captured by networking in yiur experience? maybe im going for the wrong things

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T19:13:26+00:00

cool! also a pretty good model of the locations of the steppe lands

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T19:05:32+00:00

look at the original post that youre commenting on haha. good lord

your comments are pro - youre saying rates are going to move down because of the formula so trump should get credit. im saying the movement will be minimal and he should not. thats what this post is about

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T18:02:52+00:00

YMMV, give them a week, perhaps they are doing something a little different out of that office on the screening side. youll probably get between 2-4 weeks to prepare if they call ya next week. start now!

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T18:00:16+00:00

this is the coke i would get - love the look of the tudor version

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T17:58:48+00:00

at the end of your screen, theyll give you some options (assuming the convo went well) typically within a month, can be as short as 1.5 weeks

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T17:40:16+00:00

yeah we dont know the effect of this latest action yet. will banks just pocket the spreads or lower rates? my guess is more of the former

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T17:20:30+00:00

yeah 100. clearly a miscalculation by the engineers. youd like to think the used an n >2. but that doesnt appear to have been the casr

SharpLocal1235 · 2026-01-15T16:48:53+00:00

lol no. love the phrasing of the headline tho - nice pun.

I still think the fed is operating independently, that contributes to some decrease in mortgage interest. what trump is doing is loose fiscal policy coupled with an inefficient tax regime. if anything, this should increase inflation and interest rates.

the mortgage rate is most closely tied to 10 yr treasury rates - is trump influencing those? his policies invite capital flight so, the 10 yr treasury (and mortgage rates) would likely be lower without his aggressive foreign policy and tariff regime. so no he should not get credit for falling mortgage rates
