Long term? Big 4 by a mile. Senior partners make 7 figures, that doesn’t happen if you’re working in audit In private

I currently work in operations in-house at a private equity firm. I’m tasked with due diligence as well as value creation within our portfolio of brands. Thinking of making a switch to consulting, likely within a firm’s PE consulting practice. Do I have a chance of getting a job at any of the big 4 if I don’t have an MBA and didn’t go to a target undergrad school?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hi! I just got converted to full time as a intern, and received this email about 401k which I don’t quite understand. Does the 3% means the match that company gives to me for free? So I don’t have to contribute anything to my 401k while getting free 3% match money? Thank you!!

Hi all- has anyone had experience applying for a first time credit card? I've been living in New York for 5 years and just moved back so have zero credit history in London.
