As an international (on visa) coming from Big 4 tech (software engineering), what would it take to switch to a financial consulting role? Is an MBA required? How are things post-MBA in regards to job openings (which provide work visa sponsorship for such roles)?

You sure you want to do financial consulting? RIP

Yes, I’m strongly considering it. Why do you say that though? Please provide insights & your current role.

I am at a T2 consulting firm. Recently, promoted to manager with 3 YOE and make 156k a year. I have an offer for a Finance Manager role at an industry job - 140k base + 60k equity annually. I am debating if I should stay and make it to director before exiting consulting or should I just take the industry job? I am getting very exhausted with long hours and late night calls and am looking for something easier. Not sure if it’s the right move.

Came across a job opportunity at a real estate lit firm, landlord tenant issues primarily. I am very happy with my current ID firm aside from pay, but I’m up for my first raise in March. I get interesting cases and most of the partners I work with are great. This new position would be a $25k salary increase (maybe more) and I have heard work life balance there is great. My current billables are 2000 which I don’t love. Any thoughts?

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️
