24, one year in with my firm and just no clue what to do with myself. I have some passion for the music industry in general, studied a lot concerning health & healthcare but not sold on a MD...just feeling stuck with indecisiveness on top of the current climate. Tips?

Sounds like general life stuff. The good news is you’re at a huge firm that allows you space to explore the things you’ve mentioned by pursuing interesting projects and extra curricular “+1” stuff - at the very least, it provides funding for you to explore your interests outside of work. Put a plan together of how you want to use Accenture to help you learn yourself. Engage a mentor to help you with that process.

Accept that your dreams are mostly that (dreams) and you should focus on the stability and options provided by the career you have and how you can improve within that sphere. Pivots are risky, especially if you're uncertain.

I have a non business background, and I often noticed that to go a bit further on certain cases or distinguish yourself from others, some knowledge about the industry/sector can be good.

I’ve been applying for jobs and internships in my field (looking for jobs in media production, social media, music, entertainment) for months with no luck.

I have film PA experience, but other than that my background is in retail. Any advice going forward?

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
