Is the “Manager, Corporate Strategy” role in tech typically a role to aspire to post-promotion to Engagement Manager? Or is that a role more suited for SAs moving to industry?

How common is it for recruiters to misrepresent jobs to people like us? I had one sell me on a senior financial analyst role and was super pumped about it. Later last night was digging and come to find out it’s a SEC Reporting Analyst role, nothing like what I want and the duties are totally different.

How tough is it to lateral to a larger bank, or to exit into corp dev/strategy at a "large cap" company at the VP-ish level? I'm currently in IB at a smaller MM bank, but kind of trapped until I get my green card which obviously will be a few years. I don't hate my bank/team but I do feel limited by the bank (since obviously reputation/size dictates the deals the bank can win)

Received an offer as a senior fund accountant, but I’m not 100% sure fund accounting would be for me. I feel like it may limit exposure and potential future opportunities compared to a typical senior accounting role. It’s a great company so I’m having trouble making a decision.

Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

Which profession is your spouse or SO in? Did their profession play a role in you wanting to be with them?

Is it ever too early to make partner? I left a senior associate position after 2.5 years as I was miserable. I’m coming up on 2 years with a solo, who approached me about my interest in partnership. I’ve only been licensed 5 years.

2.5 years at Tier 2 or 3 consulting firm 🤷‍♂️ and looking to transfer to MBB (preferably). I know 3 people at M, is it weird to just hit them up and ask for a referral?

Has anyone gone from consulting to an executive office role? Any insight on the work? Interesting or mostly glorified EA work?

New AWMA... curious to know what a reasonable salary expectation is and what the growth looks like for an associate within a growing ensemble. For context, background is more analytical, taking CAIA level 2 in a couple weeks, then plan on pursuing CFA.

Anyone have experience working for a firm that has PE backing? The position and offer appeal to me as it allows me to get a very specific type of experience on my resume I'm not necessarily getting at my current role. However, I'm concerned as the PE backs another somewhat similar firm they will try to merge both firms in the future and get rid of redundancy in the name of synergy. If I do taking up the offer, what should I be on the lookout for? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know what the current atmosphere is like in McCann New York after they lost one of their biggest clients, U.S. Army? Does losing such a client deteriorate an agency’s culture/career prospects?

My boyfriend is finally able to get his covid vaccine next week after having been out of the ICU for having had COVID and pneumonia. I’m super worried about him and how sick he might get, as I got very sick from the shots after having contracted a minor COVID infection, myself, early this year. Has anyone experience this scenario? Any tips or things I should be aware of or watch out for? (Presuming he is going to not feel well and I’ll be taking care of him)

The TCS HR asked me to upload all the educational certificates, last hike letters, last 3 pay slips, ID proofs and past work experience letters before the salary discussion. To which I said, I will upload the payslips and hike letter for now as they are required for salary discussion. And will provide other docs post salary discussion based on the out come. Now, she is like "You seem reluctant to share basic information and hence we are not proceeding further".

New to Fidelity. Which core position is better, and why? SPAXX, FZDXX, FCASH? Looks like they have similar interests/returns for same tenure. Is that right or am I missing any key point of comparison?

Any BCG folks have any insight to the Pymetrics test? Is it used to determine whether I get an interview and is it something I can prepare for before taking?

Had a phone interview scheduled with a mid size tech from (~2K employees) for tomorrow. The recruiter reached out last Monday but was going on vacation so we couldn't talk until this week. Job Post is

I am looking to drop my series 7 and join an RIA. I’ve finally accepted that the BD environment is a terrible fit for me. I would like to join an RIA team because I’m just over 5 years in and I would like to have some mentors to continue learning from, but if I can’t find the right fit then my plan is to launch my own. Where to start looking for an established RIA? I have not completed my CFP yet.

Planning for Maldives vacation in December. Marriott properties (St. Regis, W...) look amazing value on points but the sea plane transfer is ridiculously expensive, more than a flight ticket from anywhere in Asia. Any other resort recommendations?

Who else is about to be stuck in SFO...

Question for consulting folks- how do you stay motivated after you got into your role for 2plus years? I can’t tell if I’m just getting lazier month by month or I’m just finding work less important. I am hopping this is a bump and I get over it shortly. Anyone else feel This now or at some point in their career?

Anyone with some interesting free investing e-book to share. I would like to keep my busy during the holidays reading to understand the basics of investing. Please help me!

I have an interview with the CDC and I wanted this job for a while now. Any insight on HR questions they may ask or how? Like is it situational? I know it’s a panel of 7 and that’s it. Anything else I need to know.

Hi Fishes, I have a offer from Deloitte of 14.68 CTC at Hyderabad location. But i don't want to relocate even after the pandemic also. Is there any chance they can give me permanent WFH . TIA

Just found out I passed on-sites (non-tech role) and am invited back for the final interview this week plus a prep call tomorrow with recruiters (along with other candidates). Can anyone tell me what type of questions are typically asked during the final stage? My on-sites were primarily GCA/hypotheticals and questions about my background, so curious and eager to know what to expect during this final round so I can have more time to prep tonight prior to the prep call tomorrow. TYIA!

Late night reviewing presentation and fell asleep and the yellow highlighter drained on to the hotel bedspread. I confessed.....or should I have demanded points cuz they drained my highlighter 😂

How tough is it to get promoted at ClearView? Heard some bad things about a culture of perfectionism and cutthroat promotions, expectation that you will have the expertise of the next stage before getting promoted, but when I went to campus events they were bragging how some people were promoted to manager in 3 years. I’ve been hearing from employees that many leave after 1.5 years because they feel under appreciated during promotions after high project burn. Is this true?

Transfering H1B from consulting(mbb) to industry (tech, managing role). Is it almost guaranteed or could there be issues?
