Does it get better (even slightly)? I am a first year M&A, and so far I don't necessarily mind the long hours but the unpredictableness just grates on me. I also don't feel like I'm learning anything: make this PowerPoint slide blue not red or make this chart in Word not have word wraps (all stuff I just immediately delegate to our document formatting team). I'm a little bit older as a first year (had a corporate job before LS), and these sort of tasks drive me nuts. Is 2/3 yr better?

Anybody sit for the CIA exam? If so what was the process like for you? Level of difficulty, time required to study, materials used, etc. thanks!

Would you ever join faAng even if it wasn't the role you wanted, just to get a foot in the door for a lateral switch soon after?

For ex consultants without finance backgrounds who transitions to PE or Growth do you have any recs on podcast books to read that helped you build your PE/Investing knowledge?

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Any resource or people out there that know of or have received offers from PE Ops roles with carry? I very much like the idea of PE Ops and believe my experience is a great fit. Just heard that carry might be rare for those opportunities. Thank you!!

Need help, I have relevant experience and good reputation among team. I want promotion in this cycle to manager level but the thing is the seniors I have, managers and senior managers are with PwC SDC for long time, so they are not ready to promote me with 4.5 years of experience. Can you please guide me on how can make it work?

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?

Does Google value FAANG experience over consulting? Say if a person is trying to get into Google from Apple, will it be considered easier?

So... I have questions for change/org effectiveness practitioners who have successfully leveraged their experiences to acquire high paying, high level roles in industry. How did you do it? What was your path? What would you recommend to others so they can make the most of their careers? I’ve included my reasoning for this Q, below!

Hi All, what should be the years of experience to get Software engineer II A designation in Bank of America ?

Where's a good place to start if I have a real estate background but have become a self-taught software developer and want to shift.

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Any career advice for someone trying to leave ITS transfer pricing?

What can I do/learn/work on to get into MS as senior software engineer. Currently working as firmware developer in IBM ISDL.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

Looking for a client facing role within HC/HR consulting.

First year analyst @ current company but in an internal role. I have a Bachelors from PSU in Labor Employment Relations.

Hope to get a referral.

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

What are some important questions I should ask about associate life and integration to a firm?

Partners: what are the costs of hiring a new associate? Why is it better to retain than just hire someone new?

Lateraling to a v20 firm next week after 8 years elsewhere. So nervous! Any tips?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

So, like, at what point are the partners you work for narcissistic and at what point is that just your perception, man? Had a miserable interpersonal day today and I’m wondering if it’s valid—or if it is valid, if going somewhere else is going to be any different.

How old is the oldest 1st year associate you know in Big Law?

I’m a mid-level/senior (read: pigeonholed) patent prep/pros associate who is getting burnt out by the grind. I refuse to accept that the only options are keep churning patent applications, or to go in-house to manage attorneys who churn patent applications. I would love nothing more than to expand my practice, but the legal community doesn’t view us patent folk as real attorneys. Is there any hope?

When does the recruiter-candidate relationship really end? Everyone says ~6 months but is that 6 months of radio silence? Or is that 6 months from when you authorized to submit apps. Do you have to reapply after 6 months? Nothing is really clear. And what’s to stop someone from just terminating the relationship and reapplying by themselves. If it ever comes up, can’t you just explain that it didn’t work out with the recruiter?

I know I am hella late to the party BUT I am a first year associate at a V20 firm and am ridiculously curious about when bonuses drop. Anyone know? And by bonus I do not mean an iPad. I will chuck that right back. Just another excuse to have a “flexible work environment.” No ma’am. Not in 2021. We not playing no games anymore.

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

I am so tired of assistants/secretaries who can’t do nothing. I might as well do everything myself. I don’t know why they even get paid. Couldn’t even put in a TOA/TOC. Ridiculous. *I am very nice and respectful to my secretary* It is just frustrating.
