Currently an analyst in private management and thinking of switching to portfolio management for a big tech company (mainly for the life style). I am scared I’ll be missing out of the Advisor path which in theory has unlimited upside and good WLB. But I look at my current advisors and don’t necessarily like I envy them or feel like I am learning anything from them. Honestly feeling lost. Anyone has thoughts/tips/opinions? Anyone works in portfolio manager at a tech company and want to share?

Good morning, hope everyone is having a great week! Does anyone have any advice on breaking into an analyst role? I am currently a Senior Customer Success Manager, with a background in Operations/Process and Project Management as well. I have always enjoyed the analysis pieces of my roles and would love to expand my skills to show how qualified for a position in data analytics. Thank you in advance for the help!

Does anybody have any trusted site for exam dumps for the General ledger 2022 certification?

Let's say I'm a former analytics specialist who left the field several yrs ago for a top 10 MBA and strategy consulting at big 4. How would I parlay this into finding *non-tech* AI/ML/DS roles like strategy or product?

I don't want to use R/SAS/etc daily again, but many places either want me to be a DS/engineer which doesn't suit my interest, or require more recent technical management experience, which I don't have.

Starting my tax LLM (GT) this August 2021 part time. Should be done in 3 years. Are chances switching from big4 to big law after graduating with my tax LLM pretty low since I would have been in Big4 over 5 years by then?

Boomerang to Big 4?
I switched from Big 4 to a mid-sized firm a few months ago. The sole reason was for for a good pay raise. However, I'm not loving the new job as much, because of lack of resources, outdated technology, and work opportunities are not what I thought. Is it crazy to go back to my old firm? I really liked my coworkers there, and could perhaps ask for a better raise since I left. I maintained good relationships with my old team. Is it bad to leave after only a few months?

I like to pursue in the data science field. I have business Analyst experience but to switch to data science field could you guide me on what should I learn? Where should I start?

I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

I’m currently in sales and got an offer from BCG. Now that I accepted, I feel like grass is greener on the sales side - but I also feel like I HAVE to at least try consulting before I decide it’s not for me. Thoughts?

I moved from FTE at a big brand tech company to a contract role in a smaller big tech with an aged brand. It's a good move because I'll learn a ton in the new org and now actually have better career prospects. Still, the brand and stigma for contracting are making me feel insecure :/

I’ll be joining McKinsey & Company very soon as an Expert AP & I am excited. I got so many personal welcome messages, which was nice. I’m entering the firm with dedicated sponsors & I feel supported.

Does anyone have any thought on JD/MBA programs? I really like Kellogg’s shorter 3 year program vs a full four at HBS or some of the other schools but wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat.

My undergrad degree is in gov but I currently working on consulting for PE right now, with dream goal to end up in VC or PE post-MBA. Practice tests have gone well for both GRE & LSAT but lower GPA from a public Ivy, so not sure what’s feasible.

This is some good TV right now...

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

Born in the US and lived here all my life. Am I screwed regardless?

Anyone have a list of US headhunters for LMM/MM PE? (Or know of ones that are particularly consultant friendly?)

Hi,

I’m approaching YE compensation discussions and was curious to see what folks/the industry are paying for institutional middle-market sales/distribution/business-development roles. I have 3yrs of experience with the same firm and am currently working as a sales analyst for the institutional sales team in NA. I have experience with traditional long only solutions, real estate (primarily value add funds), and a sector specific hedge fund. Any and all feedback is welcome!

I am no longe mad just want this to be over with.

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager. I would’ve jumped on this opportunity if they asked me before. However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?

Anyone in a remote equity research or asset management role that they found as a result of working with a recruiter?

If so, what company did you work with?

Does anyone recommend a particular recruitment agency? The local ones by me are not great, I do not want to move though.

Hi everyone

I'm in a business development role based in Asia. May I get your thoughts/pointers on the CAIA?

I'm aware that the CAIA is not as popular in Asia compared to the CFA. From my knowledge, there are no CAIA holders in my current firm within the Asian region, despite dealing with alternative investments.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts regarding the CAIA, and study tips if you have any!
