1. Don\u2019t worry, they will make sure you know.<\/strong><\/p> \u201cI work in consulting.\u201d Sir, this is a Wendy\u2019s.<\/p> 2. Tumi carry-ons at the airport.<\/strong><\/p> Complete with a smug look that says, \u201cI\u2019ve managed to get my airport trek down to a solid 43 minutes\u201d. <\/p> 3. They\u2019ll be finishing slides as they board the plane.<\/strong><\/p> And loudly sending voice notes saying, \u201cI\u2019ve sent the revised slides to the client\u201d.<\/p> 4. They\u2019ll use wonky consulting terms.<\/strong><\/p> Caveat. AOB. Circle back. CAGR. Deck. Deliverable. TARGETS. And the worst one: PIPELINE.<\/p> 5. They\u2019ll dramatically look at their Hublot, Audemars, Breitling, etc.<\/strong><\/p> Then they\u2019ll look a few more times\u2026<\/p> 6. They panic if you catch them sitting in economy.<\/strong><\/p> And give you a 2-hour explanation as to why they\u2019re not flying business.<\/strong><\/p> 7. They\u2019ll act like they solved climate change\u2026<\/strong><\/p> Because they once put together a report on the subject. <\/p> 8. Their favorite topic of conversation is comparing hotel chains.<\/strong><\/p> Or airlines! <\/p> 9. And they\u2019re ultra obsessed with points and upgrades.<\/strong><\/p> 10. They pack away breakfast buffet foods for lunch. <\/strong><\/p> The best way to pocket more of that per diem. <\/p> 11. They\u2019re fixated on weekend plans and brunch on Friday <\/strong><\/p> 12. They often give unwarranted opinions on Silicon Valley\u2019s latest.<\/strong><\/p> As well as virtually everything else.<\/p> 13. Go on weekend hikes to try to feel alive<\/strong><\/p> And it never works. <\/p> 14. They look malnourished.<\/strong><\/p> Surviving on coffee and client insults takes its toll.<\/p> 15.
