Currently an M&A tax manager at a Big 4 and have been feeling pretty listless the past few months. Thinking a lot about what my next 5 years will look like. Pondering a part time MBA at a top program and looking for advice on how this could play out. I fell into this role somewhat accidentally and stayed longer than I expected, but am doing some soul searching to figure out how to set myself up for long term career satisfaction. ✨List of pros and cons in comments…✨

For those who pursued MBA or MHA several years after practice, how did you use your degree?

Hi pals! Anyone here currently working at Accenture open to referring me to an Account Exec role ?

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?

Hi fishes, I have an interview tomorrow with factset for Client Solution Advisor. Any tips for the questions they'll be asking? And if ajy of the factset employee can tell me the work we will do in this role will be good.

random ask, but if you work for MBB what title do you use for “ associate partner”. I understand at McKinsey it’s associate partner- partner- senior partner. But at BCG associate partners are called “junior partners” - would anyone be able to confirm this?
Also what’s the hierarchy at other big fours?
Appreciate any help you can offer

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
