Does anyone else cringe a bit when they see a former intern, or similar, have “ex-BCG”, “former Bain”, “PwC alum”, etc. on their LinkedIn headline? I don’t like it generally, and I don’t feel like an intern even counts. I truly hope it helps someone get a job, just cringy.

Do you find that your team members in India take more sick days than US? On my team in the US, we work from home if we get a cold but are generally still able to work. Being too sick to work happens to each of our US team maybe 1-3 times a year. My team in India takes 1-2 sick days per month. Are they actually too sick to work and that level of illness is more common? Or is there a cultural difference that you don't work if not feeling well?

Question for the ladies out there. As a male, when I run into female coworkers outside of work do you prefer an awkwardly formal handshake, an awkward side hug (though I wouldn’t side hug you in the office) or to awkwardly do nothing and start talking with no physical gesture?

My wife and I are not the best planners. We however do ok to save and have roughly 1.2 M in net worth between us (age 35 and plan to work till 60). We plan to save 100k every year before taxes and think that is more than enough for us to be financially stable. What I wanted advice on here is if it’s actually worth having an advisor? Most of my family and friends said no since their % based fee adds up over time. Anyone here who uses a planner/advisor who charges hourly?

People can talk smack about the consulting industry all they want, but it let me hit my fire number in my 30s. #Blessed
