I’ve gone thru the same song and dance with multiple friends. You’re either in it 100% regardless of their shenanigans (because you’re their friend and you genuinely want to help) or you draw a hard line in the sand and tell them exactly how you said it - you’ve done all that you can / are willing to do.
Appreciate knowing I’m not the only one. 🥲
I’ve also gone through this with a few friends all who went straight to corporate finance / adjacent - they see the salary progression and the fact that 4 years post undergrad I’m making almost 2x them and they want to jump over.
I try to emphasize some hard facts: consulting doesn’t care about industry experience (mostly), I work more hours than they do, expectations/stress in consulting is likely higher than their role, etc. harping on some of the negatives. If they still want to attempt I’ll offer to review resumes/coach on cases IF I think they’re a good fit.
Some of them are not good fits. I’ve let them get declined. We’re still friends! At the end of the day I’ve consciously stopped talking about work/money as much as I did when I was fresh out of school.
