Coursera is good. I would focus on one skill at a time and really dive into each one.

Looking for some advice. Currently just got promoted to senior consultant at a big4 (2.5yoe) and received an offer for a boutique consulting firm. Compensation is 40% more and it seems I’ll have more opportunity for growth at this new company. I want to eventually break into tech so I’m not sure if going to a boutique firm is the right choice. Hoping to hear some of your experiences. Thanks

Thinking of pivoting (in the next few years) from a big4 consulting firm making decent money to something more meaningful (to me) and hands-on but maybe seen as “lower”. I’m willing and able to go back to school or relocate for a new career, and as long as I can pay bills & save some, money isn’t a huge deal to me.

Some (def not all) ideas I’m spitballing:
Forestry services
Bartender
Mechanic
EMT
Seasonal work in national parks
Pilot
Electrician
Radiology tech

Talk me into/out of it!

What matters?

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?
