Are there people here who are in say big 4, don't see themselves there in the long term and want to give a shot at MBB or other reputed strat firms but somehow that doesn't work out? What is the possible solution? Is moving to industry the only option?

One way is you can try for other consulting firms like LEK/S&. Another way is to move to buy side firms(PE/VC) if you’re interested in finance or companies like Meesho/Zomato/Groww/FAANG if you’re into tech

In terms work culture and benefits, I have heard Bain is the best (BCG offers more pay but the culture isn't good, Mck is more prestigious but pay is a problem). Thoughts?

I don't have any exposure to LEK, A&M, etc. So not sure about them.

Try industry but it is no less difficult for strat roles as you will b mostly competing with MBB

What are further growth opportunities once you get into Chief of Staff role? What would be the exit strategy?

DUSI1- Why is Mck pay low? Any data to support ?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
