5 YOE at strategy& started out of college, should I expect to take a heavy pay cut when exiting to industry or PE ops?

I am sooo done right now. It’s not the workload, it’s not the hours,it’s not the crazy clients without controls nor processes...[I love audit (yes, I am a nerd and yes, I have a life outside)] (cont)

Leaving VC in SF after 4 years, spent 2 years in IBD. Got industry offer for Director level role in strategy / Corp dev M&A at a late stage pre-IPO unicorn (Series D+) at a MCOL city. 200 base, 20% bonus, additional 40k/yr options. So $280K range all in starting. I’m currently making $250K in VC here in Bay Area. Job is in a MCOL T2 city (Boston/Dallas/Austin/Chicago) so I won’t be living in expensive Bay Area. Evaluate my offer please!

Has anyone worked as a medical assistant for a temp agency? If so how was it? Likes? Dislikes?

How does getting a letter of recommendation work? Are there specific prompts they should follow? How long should they be? Are we, the candidate, allowed to see them before they go out? Thanks!

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Thoughts on BCG Toronto?

Hello 👋🏾! I’m new here can you please like my post so that I can DM?

Any tips about companies that pay for MBAs in Italy or Spain?

Tip for anyone taking the CAIA exam, get UpperMark. Was using willey and was abt 1/2 complete and borrowed a friends test bank … night and day much harder and honestly was more like what I expected

I made an announcement during our team meeting that I'll be taking another job offer. My petty boss said, "Well now that we have a little more budget, the rest of you will be getting raises!"

Got a job offer from a client yesterday and a phone call from the Project Lead 2 hours later telling me the client is interested in us doing another project.

Orion: do any of you have any experience with this brand? I like the look.

Looking to purchase my first real watch and I think I want the new Omega Seamaster 300M. Should I get black or blue dial (I will wear this every day) and is it okay to purchase from a Gray market dealer to save over $1k?

I couldn’t talk my partner out of buying a vintage watch. It’s a 1970s manual Vendome model that we got from Analog Shift in SoHo. It’s been a month since she got the watch and now she’s noticing that the watch keeps losing time even after winding it a couple of times a day. Any suggestions on what should we try at home for any quick fix?

Recently received Star&r award. It's my first time getting it and I know that I can choose a voucher. How can I utilize it best? Need suggestions.

Is chasing promotion is a losing game? Is it better to get the experience I need for the exit instead of just killing myself doing everything the firm wants me to do so they can consider promoting me?

What are the equivalent Google S&O roles at other FAANG and non FAANG companies?

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time? Prod Management seems like it would be more insulated from layoff pressure (so long as your P&L is in the black) though even that could come under budgetary pressure.

What would be an example of 'layoff-proof' exit opp?

How does search work at McKinsey? If it’s up to x weeks paid to find a job, how will they know if I’ve already accepted an offer? I’m trying to strategically declare search so I can have a backup offer and use my time to find something better, but I want to make sure that I don’t get in trouble lol. It’s also difficult to multitask finding a job and working on studies since you’re around the clock.

Thinking of going on a sabbatical and using the time to dust off resume, get certs and find a new position.Anyone else recommend this? Currently being distracted by billable work that adds 0 to resume

Sitting on two AWS vs McKinsey offers. Which would you take?

Hi all! I will potentially get an offer from LEK and/ or Clearview healthcare soon and would like to start deciding which is best for me. Which do you all think would be best in terms of versatility of projects and exit opportunities, culture and overall experience at the firm? And why? Thanks for the help!

Planning to leave my firm for another job? If i started that job while im on the bench here, would my current firm find out?

How are you able to make time for interviews when working in a demanding consulting project?

If most product manager jobs (not straight out of college) require 2-3 years of Pm experience, how do you ever get that experience without working in PM? 🧐

What do I need to include on my LinkedIn for recruiters to reach out to me?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.

People who've exited to international organisations (NATO, UN, EU,...) how was the transition?
Was it difficult to get in?

If an industry employer told me they would make a decision within 7-10 days of my interview, and yesterday was the 10th day but I didn’t hear anything. Is it safe to assume I did not get the job?

How would you answer the following question.

Why do you want to join EY?

Planning a switch from D to EY for a higher title and more pay. As my comp at D is shit.
Interviewing for exactly same kind of work in same industry.

Anyone run into the same flight attendant on two different planes?

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.
