What is the nature of the role? I love where I am (consultant at Bain), but when I think about what I actually really enjoy doing it is more on the analytics side. Exploring options for what might make sense for me as a next step

OP look into Two Sigma, looking for guys you
You are guaranteed an interview, but will need to prepare. Heard very quant shop style of interview (ie Optiver/ Jane Street) and makes FANG Product look easy
Gl OP, I think you would be a good fit for Two Sigma

Thanks A1, I’ll definitely have a look at that! As I mentioned, I’m still very much in the exploratory phase of thinking of my next steps, but suggestions like these are great 😊

Just an FYI, ACN1’s mentioned some of the really intense firms when it comes to algorithms development. Not to say you can’t do it, but this is likely going to require years of dedicated study and practice beyond what online resources can provide.

Good luck!

Depends what you mean by analytics heavy. Do you mean BI/dashboarding type work or deploying production models?

Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?
