SM. - what role do you currently do and what will you do there in the future. Interested in this right now as well.

Most firms offer counseling sessions and provide recommendations.

I've had very good experiences with one particular career coach (former S& partner, pre split) who understands the consulting profession very well. Happy to DM you his contact info.

FAANG all day. Does that help?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
