Can I please get some advice on how to break into a corp strategy or BD&L role fresh out of PhD? I'm wondering if I should focus on teaching myself the skills of the job (financial modeling, more advanced data analysis, etc.) or focus on gaining more relevant internship experience, or both.

Hello - what is the EYP role for 5-6 YOE? coming from US and think it might be junior mgr but want to confirm. Thank you.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA?

Can title be negotiated?

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?
