Anyone know about the culture at Braze?
When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

Yeah it’s tough, went through 10+ interviews with Google since February for 6 different roles, 2
final rounds and they ended up picking another person for HC...had a few other opportunities in parallel but also similar outcome for most. Final rounds but didn’t make the cut. Continuing to be optimistic though and continuing to interview...
Yes
I’ve been passively trying on and off for 18 months. I get contacted by recruiters all the time for other consulting roles, but I am trying to switch industries, so it’s been tough. I did finally get contacted about a dream role last month, but I didn’t get it after the interview :/. Still, I’m hopeful something will come if I’m patient.
Piece of advice - try not to mentally check out of your current job. I got promoted this past year while job searching.
I’ll also say that I’ve become really picky. I only apply to 1-2 jobs per month max. The job is going to have to be awesome to make it worth my while. (This is why it’s taking so long, lol)
I’m in recruiting and I’d say apply for more than 1-2 jobs but instead be selective with which interviews you go to if you really want to make a move. A phone call with recruiters can open a door to roles not publicly posted or jobs other places as recruiters that are good at their job help network good talent with peers
Absolutely. My project sponsor is a tool.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve had more than a dozen interviews and phone screens in the past few months and nothing solid has really materialized. Trying to break into an industry role but finding a good fit is tough.
Yup
Recruiting working too well but feel compelled to wait for the perfect fit vs jumping at an opportunity. Have shut down 2 job offers in the last 2 months.
Same here. I've been trying to jump to Deloitte but have not had much luck despite folks considering me as a "strong candidate". Glad to know we're all in this though.
Consider it a blessing
At what level are exit opportunities the best? C and above or just depends
I look at every new project like a new job and try to be more and more picky
