Happy to chat through and answer any questions - I came in as an experienced hire from industry in an internal strategy role. Happy to be helpful however possible!

I also joined as an experience hire associate but wasn’t in consulting before. I think the interview process is largely the same as any other associate interview - they will probably want you to be able to reflect thoughtfully on your year of experience and why it makes sense to change roles though.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
