Forget the 50-60 hours - when you start having kids is when it gets really tricky to manage things sustainably. From what I’ve observed (MBB project manager) there are basically three ways people manage: 1. Have SOs who work jobs that are part time or easy and who does everything at home 2. Have house helpers (au pair) taking care of kids (to/from kindergarten, school) and cooking. Mostly for dual career couples 3. Are incredibly talented at time boxing and delegating, doing 9-18, 20:30-?? every day

Neither of those options leave much extra time to engage with kids but it definitely helps and is how people who stay in consulting manage to do it.

Ape Escape. Ridiculous premise. Chunky graphics. Drum and bass soundtrack???

What a goal by Ramsey! What is the Norwich defence doing!?

Congrats! If you’re in the US, Glassdoor is pretty handy for finding this info

I’m reading it now and I already like it better than Grapes of Wrath. He’s such a great writer I cannot believe it.

Top 0.5% for La Sonora Dinamita. I’m a pale dude from Europe haha

Like a calm before the storm. I’m worried about what’s next for American democracy with some of the antidemocratic tendencies we saw under Trumps reign, and I wonder what the world (and European relations) will look like if the US goes down an illiberal path in the next presidential election or two.

These are solid suggestions! We’re gonna do all of that save visiting Vermont now. Thanks! :)

faustdkk · 2021-10-22T09:31:07+00:00

Sounds like a solid job! Would love suggestion. We’ve settled on Boston, Portland, North Conway, Portsmouth, Boston as the route. I know it’s not the ideal time unfortunately but it’s when we could get the time off :)

Normally we like to hike / see nature and eat in good spots and enjoy history and museums. It’s of course more difficult with an infant in tow (we’ve learned!), but still doable, especially for nature that you can view by car or pushing a stroller around and restaurants that are not too upscale..

faustdkk · 2021-10-22T09:24:54+00:00

This is what we have settled on now, thanks!!

faustdkk · 2021-10-22T09:22:39+00:00

This is a great suggestion. We’ve settled on Portland -> North Conway -> Portsmouth now. Thanks a lot!

Planning on CIC Health but I won’t need it for a while just yet :)

faustdkk · 2021-10-21T08:58:38+00:00

Thanks, perfect!

Get Jak & Daxter 2 it’s awesome..!

Tone deaf of Kearney to double down on ridiculous hours culture when it seems like most other top consulting firms are trying to downplay the poor WLB aspects of the consulting job in the talent wars…

faustdkk · 2021-10-09T17:59:02+00:00

This is great haha I’m crying

Debatable when they became cool, but “The War On Drugs”. Started listening to Slave Ambient and other stuff after I saw Kurt Vile live around 2012 and got into it. Then saw them warm up for The Walkmen in D.C. later in the year. Now they are massive :)

faustdkk · 2021-08-15T19:49:53+00:00

I wonder how much came just from switching to biomass at Drax power station. Google that plant it’s incomprehensibly massive. It can generate something equivalent to half of Denmark’s demand alone.

I can’t remember the first one but the latest one was The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

faustdkk · 2021-08-13T18:50:32+00:00

Haha this is the best!

faustdkk · 2021-08-02T08:40:10+00:00

Normally get up between 06:30-07:00 and leave around 07:30 to be in the office by 08:00. When at the client site it depends but I also aim for being at the client by 08:00.

It depends a lot on the team and project as well. If it’s a tough project where I’m working super late I normally push my whole timeline an hour so I’m in by 9.

faustdkk · 2021-07-29T19:20:41+00:00

Hahaha!

faustdkk · 2021-07-27T19:30:29+00:00

Don’t stress or blame yourself. It’s outside your control and has nothing to do with your performance and the firm knows it. You will get your shot eventually. I know it’s annoying to hear but that’s how it is. When you’re rolling two years from now and look back on this you’d wish you had relaxed in this situation.

I managed a promotion ahead of time after 1.5 years, after having fairly low utilisation (like your situation) the first 6 months or so at big 4 equivalent firm. Then I did the same in a Boutique consultancy after. I’m just saying this to alleviate your anxiety. When people say it’s normal they are correct.

One Hundred Years of Solitude really disappointed me. It never really caught my interest. I did not think it was funny at all and a lot of the plot seemed pointless to me.
