Read the WSJ and similar publications regularly. And after reading each article, think for 3-5min about whether you agree with the claims made or not, questions you’d want to validate, and what the repercussions would be on the rest of the industry/market. After a few times, it’ll become second nature and you’ll be thinking this way when confronted with business problems in your job today and ultimately in the case interview.

I’m a junior and I have the opportunity to join the employment and benefits group as a specialist. The alternative is VC/M&A.

I’m under the impression that joining the EB group will still give me decent exit ops, has more manageable workflow (less unexpected dumpster fires like in deal-work), and a somewhat better WLB because of my previous point.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?
