Chilis or applebee and why

People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.
My patience for this job is waning… I’m 35, single, no debt - Made some decent investments last year in some AI chip stocks and now they’re coming to roost.. my brokerage account is now more than my 401k. I feel like my life is 90% work and 10% everything else. I wonder if I should take some extended time off (6mo-1yr) as I would love to actually have space for things during the week again and explore / grow in other areas of my life. Is it time?
I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?
Can’t speak on behalf of Chili’s but Applebee’s mozzarella sticks gave me such horrible gas once that my wife made me to sleep on the couch for the night. (Quite frankly, she wasn’t wrong.) Thank you for letting me share my perspective with all of you. 🤝
Haha that’s brutal. Glad you and the wife made it through that 😅
Here's the thing. Chili's is the new golf course. It's where business happens.

Chilis. Chips and salsa (get it free for 3 months when you create an account) and their $5/6 margarita of the month.
Chilis hands down. Nothing on the Applebees menu can touch honey chipotle chicken crispers
Wow chilis is the clear winner 🌶
The last time I had Crapplebee’s I got the runs. Chili’s is better, no runs.
Chillis of course! They’re underrated
Chili’s 1M%
Chilis - have a couple salads I like and much better drinks - both are trash though
Depends on if you’re a ribs man or a riblets man
Applebees for me
I’ve never been to either
Gen-X
Chilis - chips and salsa are salty goodness, bomb margaritas, and the margarita chicken is surprisingly tasty
