Hi all, I recently received offers at LEK and EY Parthenon at the entry level associate level and am looking to hear some of the pros and cons of both. I have enjoyed my consulting internships and am thinking I might stick with consulting for a while. In the case I don’t want to do consulting long term I’d probably look to exit to PE. Thoughts?

I applied for an Associate position at CRD department focusing on Turkey (as I assume from the Turkish Language requirement) it is not even reviewed for 3 months... I'm an attorney registered to Istanbul Bar, working at a "big law firm" for two years now and I felt like this could be a great opportunity.

Best.

I’m a 2nd year going to trial on a team with just a 5th year and the (very hands off) partner. I have trial experience, she doesn’t. I’ve also been on the case for 2 years, and she joined recently. I feel like I’ve been thrust into a senior associate role, managing deadlines, delegating work, and reviewing the mid’s work product. Im very grateful for the opportunities, but also stressed to be working above my experience level/managing someone senior. Any words of wisdom to help navigate this?

Can someone share some insights regarding clients, exposure, exit opportunities between the two of them?

Position: Associate 

Anyone here ever gone back to school while working as an associate? I’ve always wanted to practice for a few years and then move into academia. I’m at the point where I’m ready to start working toward that transition and am considering doing an online PhD while I keep my role as an associate. Anyone done this or something similar? If so, what online program (university) did you do (attend) and what was your area of study?

SO was contacted by a recruiter for a research analyst position at a top PE. He’s currently in consulting, doing lots of M&A dd work. The recruiter said the position pays on par with their associates, ~250k. He’s also been contacted by recruiters for smaller PEs associate roles. He’s inclined to try the former, but wanted some advice on whether this is a good route to take. Looking forward to your suggestions, thanks in advance!!

Currently in industry at M and up for SM promotion next year with good trajectory into operating role. So pay is similar to associate but much better WLB.

Is it worth the jump?

Hi fellow fishes! I got a referral for an Sr associate product manager position at PWC digital and was invited to the first round (after vetting call).
I was wondering can anymore share more about the type of questions they typically ask in each round (heard there are 3 rounds) and your interview experience if you went through it recently? Thanks for your help!

I have a but of a situation. Just started a job as a Sr associate and found out a program manager was hired a month earlier who has equivalent exp/education as me. I like my job but feel that I shouldn’t be in a more junior role than this manager since we have very similar backgrounds. I interviewed for this role after they had already hired the program manager (I didn’t know at the time I was interviewing). Thoughts on what I can do?

Does your agency/company have a group project manager role? If so, is it equivalent to an associate director role?

If I run scrum/standup meetings for my team, go through our dev board (Jira), keep track of people's work in OPS and Dev. Does that mean I am in between a scrum master/PM? My position is pretty vague (Associate Engineer). I am kind of stuck in between technical and non-technical and really don't know where to start if I am wanting to pursue a career in either, BA/PM or scrum master. Any tips?

Can any EYP fish refer me to strategy associate position? I recently joined pwc MC with 1 yoe. Thank you!
