Interviews

So I’m a second year consultant. Like most, I was disappointed with compensation this year and am pretty bearish on my future earning potential here. I’m currently interviewing with a big tech company (not FAANG but close) for a position with substantially higher pay as a business analyst. I really wanted to stay til SC/M but the money is too good to pass up. I guess my question is: are there any major downsides to exiting to industry “too early?” Has anyone done it and regretted it?

Deal Advisory to IB analyst interview coming up. What is the most efficient way to prepare? It seems like there is quite a lot of information to know.

Oliver Wyman fishes: How open would you be willing to talk to me, someone who is looking to apply to the campus hire full time analyst? I have sent out 10 LinkedIn messages and cold emails to alums at from my school, but received no response. Many of them are also in the APEC region whereas I’m interested in applying to US offices. My school is pretty good but not a target for Oliver Wyman. I’d really like to learn more about the firm and if you think there is fit, would appreciate a referral.

How do i go about applying to a consulting job at Accenture?

I want to get out of tax and was applying to basically any job in the finance/accounting world that didn't involve tax compliance. I just got a call back for an AML/KYC analyst at a large bank. Its seems like a glorified fact checker. Can anyone provide insight into this type of role? Salary, expectations? How do others perceive this role? End game is Forensics with FBI so I think it would be a great stepping stone.

Interviewing at McK for Sr Analyst position.

Hi! Does anyone have any advice/good resources on becoming better at case studies? I.e. if a company wants to roll out x, then figuring out which metrics I’d want to look at, etc. those kinds of questions. I have an analyst interview soon, and feel good about the technical part but not so confident on the case studies part. Thank you in advance!

First Senior Data Analyst interview coming up.. what should I expect?

Would it make any sense to lateral from an Operations role at a BB to a RFA analyst role at B4 after I’ve already done 1.5 years as an analyst at the BB?

What career options are out there for a 3rd year analyst at a no name M&A boutique? I'm not really getting lateral interviews, PE won't take me and my grades are too low for business school. I'm turning 25 this year and I am afraid I am running out of options. Also from a non target and I've exhausted the alumni base.

Has anyone transitioned from B4 to tech? Interested in Customer success or PGM. I am curious what the day to day actually entails and what level you were able to exit to.

Looking to exit consulting. Currently an analyst in SF and I will be applying for roles in big tech (FB, Google, Square, etc). Since I have multiple areas of interest, is it okay to apply to multiple job positions at these firms since they are so large, or should I stick with only one or two roles?
