Go to Business School or take a PE offer (Megafund). Post MBA goal is PE (which I know is hard to pivot to from Consulting) but also quite concerned about WLB at this particular fund

Struggling between two opportunities: 1. Digital Healthcare and new ventures with labcorp. 2. Strategy opportunity within cloud/AI/software with a larger firm (think Dell, HP, IBM).
1 looks like slightly better WLB but bit lower pay. Which one would you choose and why?

Hi Fishes, good day! I currently work for Oracle Cloud ERP, as a cloud Analyst ( 1 yoe ). Although, I want to move into cloud engineer/architect role. Seeing the current cloud market, I've started learning GCP. But, now I have a doubt that since I'm already in Oracle Cloud, should I just continue in OCI or still try and switch to GCP?

I have 16 months of experience in ZS. Should I go for CAT?. Doing an MBA will add value?

How would you feel if your recommender did not acknowledge/thank you for your gift? We have a really good relationship and he’s given me a lot of growth opportunities.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Can anyone recommend some small or mid-sized law firms in NYC that are reputable and could make for a good lateral opportunity for a second-year M&A associate who enjoys working at a law firm but wants to get away from constant 70-100 hour weeks? I’m happy to work hard, but staffing shortages at my Big Law firm have run me into the ground and I’m ready for a change.

Hi fishes,
How many of you have an MBA in HR. And how important an MBA in HR is to excel in the field of HR. Because I'm pretty mba in Marketing isn't that important to get you a Marketing job.

Are you killing your career if you drop down from big law to mid law? 4.5 years in and I can’t deal anymore. Not even sure what my career goals are so maybe doesn’t matter. 2 cents?

The prestige and cachet of many firms is no longer sufficient to recruit and retain top-talent. Would a shift in culture (to align with tech) make banks a more desirable option?

Hello,
I have worked in healthcare for almost 4 years now. I have experience in managed care, utilization management, and clinical administrator coordinator. I love my job and the pay is fair but being single and on my own it is not enough to live on and enjoy. I make about 55K and am really hoping to reach at-least a 75K+ job. I also have my Bachelors degree in Sociology! Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for jobs so I can make higher pay and actually enjoy my hard work earnings?

Has anyone worked in federal consulting? Thinking about exploring that as a path going forward out of change work specifically @2YOE. Which would you pick and why?

To peeps who work for Elon Musk - what's the WFH situation? My boyfriend is interviewing for a job in Elon's company. He was told the role was on-site only. We're not sure we want to move right now and the comp is not really worth moving but the role itself is appealing to him. Do you think it's worth going through interviews and trying to negotiate working from home?

Hottest strippers in NYC? go.....

Is anyone here into crypto? I want to learn more but not sure where to start

Im at an agency with a lot of layers, each one micromanaging down (sometimes bypassing each other and me on the way down.) What’s the best way to manage up while not being seen as an “unnecessary layer to be bypassed” to everyone else below?

Anyone here who has recently completed CPA?

What are people’s thoughts on coinvesting in your fund? My fund is offering this and I need to decide. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I’m also looking to buy a house so I had been saving up cash for that.

About to join a private credit shop and wondering what to brush up on before I start. What work would you typically give to a private credit analyst in the first two months ?

Went to a networking cocktails last night with LPs. For some odd reason there were quite a few young attractive women mixing it up, but who couldn’t explain what they did or where they worked.
Turns out the organizer hired models to do the rounds because otherwise “there would be too many dudes”. Maybe I’m getting old but I felt more, not less awkward and uncomfortable 🤦‍♂️

Any PE shops give teams benefits from their port co’s? A buddy at L Catterton said he gets nothing, not even free equinox lmao

T2 consulting (ie non-MBB) PE group->MM/LMM, is it possible? Finance major from top 20, BB IBD internship if that matters

Deal execution analyst at mega fund —> MBA —> investment professional at MM PE?

Is this a logical progression?^^^

From the outside, I always thought of PE firms to be well-oiled machines where everyone is working hard but with a clear purpose. Now starting at an LMM as a senior associate I feel kind of lost. It’s chaos - every person above me wants something else and there are constant discussions, bickering and politics being played. Is this representative of other (LMM?) PE firms, or did I get unlucky? It feels like a tech startup lol.

How easy is it to move up market from LMM as a VP?

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE. Is this a reasonable move? I know IB lifestyle will suck, but I don’t want to find myself in a spot where I dislike what I do in a few years and feel like moving to IB may increase my chances of landing a better gig in the future ( as opposed to sticking to FDD)

Do most pe firms require an MBA to move past the associate role? Been reading conflicting views online.

Any insight would be great.

Non MBB, finishing fin/acct MBA and looking to pivot into banking/pe. 10 yrs sales prior in unrelated field. 20 yrs military. MBA is non target school since military/state funded programs are free.

Any advice on where to start looking that is realistic? I'm not willing to hump 80 hours next to a 22 yr old undergrad for the same pay, but also 100% understand I'm taking a huge side step in this hopeful transition

What are some industry agnostic growth equity firms that are open to consultants?

best consulting friendly consumer focused PE/GE funds in terms of work-life, comp, promotion etc.?

Are you happy?

Honest thoughts on best qualifications to go after to break into PE from consulting - should I go after ACA/CFA/CAIA? I feel I’ve only got the patience to do one of these 😂

A lot of the posts here are US focused so hard to gauge proper benchmarks.

Does anyone have an idea on total comp and WLB at the associate/investment manager positions at UK MM/LMM funds? I.e the Foresight’s, Livingbridge, Inflexions of the world. Thanks!

Anyone familiar with total comp for Blackstone Life Sciences or Bain cap life sciences (associate/post-mba level)? And is it more in line with PE (since it’s Bx/ BC) or VC (since life sciences/what i would imagine early stage companies)?
