The best roles for you will be determined by assessment, networking, and alignment. Assess your experience and training thus far to explore areas of interest, but don't prematurely exclude any opportunities. As you feverishly network, chemistry can cause chain reactions to help with the decision making process. When all is said and done: Who you are; what you know; who you know; what they do; and what opportunities lie in front of you must align with the best role(s) for you.

Not consulting. 10-30 years ago consulting paid top tier and attracted the best talents from Ivy Leagues when knowing excel and ppt was enough to get a 200K job. Now it’s a 2nd tier compensation career with poor WLB, boring brain dead work no company wants to pay their full time employees to do, and shitty exits in an increasingly technical world. My recommendation would be either Tech or Finance for anyone who’s motivated and ambitious

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Looking for tips from seniors. I'm at A1 level at a litigation firm, stepping out of the deer-in-headlights phase.

I often find myself in a more assistive role, either by my choice or the Partners'.
How can I accelerate my progress? What are Partners' and Seniors' expectations from year one associates?
