My whole company is getting flown out for a anniversary celebration. However they are making us share a room with each other (2 twin beds per room). Would you go? This makes me feel weird having to share a personal space with a coworker

Wealth Management careers - how do you like it? I'm a bit unusual in that I'm a capital markets and M&A lawyer (stints at big law and in house pubco counsel). I'm just so over being a lawyer and want to pivot. I've always been interested in the WM space, but do people who do it (even starting on the bottom end) like it? I'm a CPA and CFA who had a brief career in finance prior to law. My spouse and I have also saved enough where this could be feasible. Curious to thoughs (comp, hours, QoL)

Flying home with my partner in the middle seat and I on the end. Trying to hack the system and get the row. It didn’t work. So when I boarded I asked the middle person if they’d like the aisle seat and she said oh yea absolutely. Her friend sitting behind us then chimes in can she have the window? To which I’m like oh man idk that’s my partners seat and the like the window, but I oblige bc I’m a push over. Moments later they ask the person sitting in their isle to sit in my isle…

Hi everyone! I'm an Executive MBA'27 student at CMU. I plan to do an internship in consulting and eventually transition into Management consulting. My plans were upended with rejections in the final rounds from Kearney, OC&C. I'm looking for suggestions on how to break into MC space as I'm very motivated to pivot ! I honestly don't know what the heck MBB folks look into but I'm very determined to be part of one of those firms. I'd highly appreciate your support and help !

Does anyone have experience, contacts or knowledge in general, on how to pivot into the experiential space. It’s something I am super interested in, I’ve worked on live shows like theater and concerts. I’ve worked with people in other countries that have done a lot of fun things in that space; like a giant snowglobe for McDonalds that was a working McDonalds in Poland. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

Anyone else have a kid who is obsessed with going to space? My toddler is absolutely obsessed with going to space and to the moon, and I am struggling with how to embrace her interest in something that I cannot make happen for her. She wants to be an astronaut for Halloween and I’m scared for her to put on the costume and then realize we aren’t actually going to space.

I overheared my husband ask in an interview about work life balance. He used the spacex model to describe a company with poor work life balance. Have you worked or are you working in environments like that? The interviewer also said that “you have to be part of setting that boundary” as work can always take up more time. I’m really proactive in managing this for myself. Hope you are too!

Has SpaceX become the new “must-own” investment? I’m surprised by the number of conservative and moderate-risk clients asking about putting significant money into SpaceX. Are you seeing the same thing? It’s crazy how many calls we received. And if so, how are you handling the conversation around concentration risk versus the excitement surrounding the company?

Does it almost feel like this is the best space to be in right now, with all the layoffs going on? I have a couple of friends who were in the tech and creative industries and got laid off and have been unemployed for a while now. I'd always feel bad that I didn't study hard enough to end up in those fields and make the kind of money they but I kind of feel good about it now haha.

Looking at joining a startup in the AI space (targeting a niche regulatory area) in a high level operations role (C-Suite). The company raised $5million recently but no idea what it’s valued at. Probably about 10-12 employees. My total comp today is $290k. They are offering $160k plus equity. How do I size up how much equity I need for this to make sense? Any ideas?
