At a boutique firm for just over a year, I know this isn’t the best place for my growth, but a promotion is coming. Am I better of sticking around or try to go to MBB or big 4 at an associate level?

I think boutique firms might be worth the stay if you’re getting a promotion. I would wait till I was a consultant or sr consultant. Then make the move. Growth at boutique after that can get pretty slow depending on your company

Hi all! I’m about to start my masters in Computational Finance and I really need to make my decision on what job I wanna do. I’m considering quant, data scientist and AI engineer but I’m still not sure what career I want to do. Can anyone share what job you took and what the daily tasks were like after you studied anything related to computational finance? And salaries as well pls (this is also important too😅)

Pls share any suggestions and advices as well!
Thanks!

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet. However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices.
