Any fish at United/Optum open to help with a referral for a MD completing MBA Healthcare program currently Administrative resident/Project Manager at major health system?
Thanks for your help

I have been doing mostly ops/pmo projects at Deloitte and don’t have much knowledge of finance, but somehow got an interview for an associate role at a well respected family office. Interviewer is an MD in direct investments. I have no idea how to prepare and not embarrass myself. Interview is tomorrow. Pls help. 😭

I am an MD with more than 18 years of drug development experience. Would love to provide clinical development and scientific consulting to startups or investing companies as a side role. Does anyone has any thoughts on how to begin? I have never done it, but will like to explore that path.

Currently working in Corporate Banking supporting the finance of M&A transactions but have been speaking with a few MD’s in Transaction Advisory Services with RSM. I eventually would like to move into a strategy based role like Corporate Strategy/Corp Dev. Is a move like this common? Or would a move like this be taking a step back?

MD wanting to break into consulting. Applied to McK via referral 2 weeks ago, still waiting to pass resume screening. Need partner on how to start intense preparation. Done MConsulting prep YouTube videos, cases on McK website and found fishbowl in process of finding direction (joined today) but still feeling lost on direction to really prepare. Any one in similar boat want to connect and work through together? Thank you!

I’m interviewing for a MD/exec level role within industry.. big jump in pay etc. I’m through the first and second round (recruiter, then hiring manager). Now there’s at least 5 more - stakeholders, other direct reports of hiring manager etc.. ending with one more interview with the lead if all goes well.
My question is what might be the sorts of questions and conversation with these other stakeholders?

Any thoughts on TPG’s REPE group? Interviewing for an associate position in SF, talked with a couple VPs, still need to talk with an MD and take the modeling test.

I work at a boutique (currently ~14 bankers and 10 back office roles).

Joined in august. Since august, 3 senior bankers (MD / VP) 1 HR director, and now 2 analysts have left for great opportunities. To be honest I’m happy and like my role, plus it’s too early to think about switching firms already.

I am now the only analyst left, we have another one joining in January. Any advice on how I can leverage this for comp discussions at the end of the year?

Are there any PA attorneys that can tell me about the CLE process right now? I may want to waive into the PA bar, but I recall years ago that they were very strict about CLEs, including signing in and out to go to the bathroom. In the age of virtual CLEs, not sure if that's still an issue. I practice in MD, but have had to turn down a referral or two in PA. I want to see if it would be worth it.

Thoughts on staying in IB longer term to VP/director/MD level vs. exiting at the associate level? Seems like total number of exit opps get cut down but quality of exit opps is higher (ie. senior level in PE/corp dev). Considering this option if enjoying/managing life as an associate in IB at my firm

Interviewing with LEK next week for the Associate role and it’s my dream job right now. What would you say is the best way to set myself apart and increase my chances of getting hired?

P.S. I got a referral from MD

Partners, need recommendations on how to look for my next career move. I have 20 yoe, currently an L9 with FAANG, comp between 750-1mm, came from b4 where I was a md. Most of the position I see on LinkedIn and other sites are junior level. I am looking for CXO / senior exec level roles in tech industry. Don’t have much network that I can reach out to. I understand the senior level roles are not advertised anywhere.. so how should I get in front of executive recruiters/hm? How can I get noticed?

A couple days ago was emailed by my SM who cc: another SM and our MD on the account. They were thanking me for all the hard work I’ve been doing. Our MD said it was great to see a new team member playing such an important role. I replied bla bla. They then talked about how they world set up time to talk about my future on the project. For context I’m a campus hire 3months in on a tech implementation. I don’t see myself on this project long term doent align with my end goals. Should I express

Which role would likely have higher comp potential. MD at BB bank (client facing group but not a “banker”) or MD at ACN or big 4?

Could you share some advice/insights on pros and cons to moving headcount from a regional strategy role to a global capability network role within the same function.
How would this impact my comp, career trajectory (MD path), performance (impact of lower chargability), etc? What are some key questions I need to ask? (I’m a SM new to ACN USA)
Thanks

What motivates to stay in consulting other than making it to Partner/ MD level?
To Partner/ MDs- whats your goal after you reach to this position?
I feel consulting is only driven by sales

Interviewing for a Slalom industry MD role, managing and growing a portfolio. Anyone know how base and bonus ranges look? (Managing a 20mm industry portfolio?)

Will be up for a promotion to a corporate finance manager position soon bumping my salary to ~$150k. Is an MBA worth it to continue to grow within corporate finance? I feel like I dont need an MBA to grow at my current firm (looking at the MD profiles) but I dont see myself working here forever. Reason i am hesitant is because of the high tuition of programs and the salary outcomes are similar to what i am already making if i plan to not go into MBB/IB

Hey guys, I’ve recently started interviewing for a position outside my firm. I was wondering who makes the decision to hire? Is it the interviewers (MD’s, VP’s, analysts) or is it the recruiter that reached out to me who gets the final say? I’m crushing it with the directors, Vp’s but not really talking too much sith the recruiter. Please help

Currently SM at Deloitte - well rated - received a decent hike in pay putting me in the upper 200s / close to 300K with bonus included. Considering Slalom vs. Publicis Sapient for a role. What’s the MD equivalent at both companies? I have 22+ years spread between consulting and industry.

I have an MD referral at Acn but the recruiters have not been reaching back out to the specialist helping me find a position. Should I apply directly to the job posting as well?
