Context: 6mo into finance-as-a-service consulting role. Studied finance at a top 10 school, had internships in PE, Commercial Real Estate and was invited back by real estate firm to build out a model (Data Engineer was their title of it). Joined consulting because i could not get a finance job for the life of me. It’s not that i dislike consulting, it’s just not my passion. Can anyone offer any advice? Market is tough right now and do not know how I should proceed

What do you wanna do long term?

Down below… thank u!

I enjoy crunching numbers, doing analysis, modeling, etc. I modeled something for a firm 2 summers ago and I loved it. I love intricate and complex problem solving, especially crunching numbers. I feel like you don’t get that in consulting.

Long-term I would love to see myself in asset management or in a distressed debt role (talk about complex problems)

My buddies started a consulting firm after working at traditional firms. They’re growing rapidly and a lot of their work is modeling based plus some accounting.

Shoot me a message and maybe there’s a fit
