At what point do you decide to pivot and go do something else? Been stuck in a data analyst role wanting to do financial crimes work for the last year as my firm has been unable to get the work. I enjoy the balance but going to work bored each day is unsustainable for me. When do people usually call it quits and how do you start?

Buddy, please if they pay you well, its just a job, im in a meat grinder every day, while not boring, its extremely grueling do be doing this week in and out, chase the paycheck and have a life outside of work.

If you want to pivot, then pivot. I just think in this job market it is way more challenging than people think it is. It isn't really a great time to be pivoting to something else.

Feels like most people were tryna run hard and fast away from fin crime / KYC /AML back in the day, but I guess times change.

Why was that?

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?
