Hey not related, but would you be open to provide a referral to LEK? 👍

funnylike

I hear there’s a job opening up soon

Let me know if you want a referral to Lockheed

What type of consulting are you doing now? What industry?

You could look at marketing, program management, or possibly biz opps with that experience. One thing about industry is that they oftentimes look for you to have several years of experience in a specific thing so start looking at roles at target companies and make sure you can align your resume with their experience requirements.

What specifically about consulting don't you like?

Really it’s just the long hours / WLB for me. There are some more complications like lean teams here at LEK or dealing with tight timelines, but those are okay

Yea let me get a referral before you bounce please

Get in the line, I worked hard for this one

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

Does anyone have the 2020 SHRM books for sale or to borrow? My job won’t contribute towards my certification. I’ve already paid for my test. I have the books from 2015 but I’d like to study from the 2020. I tried finding them online to purchase but sellers of affordable books aren’t responding.

I’m a first year that’s inching toward second year. Partners in my group say “sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is the best way to learn.” However, I feel so lost. I feel like saying the above is just an excuse for not wanting to take the time to actually teach new associates.
