Don't see an A in STEM anywhere. Plenty of a-holes though.

As a former international student, I really pray it gets the STEM designation

Thank EY1. It’s about 24 months and that would be massive for accounting grads

My thought is that the STEM crap is based on supply and demand. US needs these positions filled to support the economy. It will continue to exclude accounting unless less Americans want to be an accountant.

That’s insulting to STEM

I think it could have potential over the next few years. I graduated in 2019 and was taking at least 2-3 data analytics courses/statistics classes a semester

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E. I’m overworked and underpaid, but gaining valuable experience I hope to pivot toward an eventual in-house counsel position. I recently was offered an opportunity to lateral to a national firm for a significant pay increase (150% salary increase, much better benefits, hybrid WFH options). Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?
