Advice on FT Recruiting

Context, just wrapped up a PE summer analyst position at a MM PE firm. Great experience, training, deal work exposue, just not somwhere I saw myself full time.

They took a very small % of class for FT, and I did not receive an offer. I recruited FT for IB last year, so I am rekindling some of those connections + new ones. Does anyone here have experience / advice for FT IB recruiting? I understand it is an uphill battle, but possible.

Got an offer from a large tech PE company for their value creation team. Team is relatively experienced - however, their offer is lower than my current salary as a consultant at a T2 firm. I’m highly valued at my firm and my trajectory is already fast tracked. Would it make sense to leave in this case for the mere name recognition of this PE fund?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Hey guys. So I am an actuarial analyst who got started about three months ago. I had a chance to do a data scientist intern, which I really loved. I am three months into the full time position as an actuarial analyst and I am finding the job not as exciting. It certainly isn’t what I have expected. Does anyone have any experience of moving out of the actuarial world to the data science role? How hard was the transition? What are the steps that you took? I am seeking for advice and help! Thanks!

Step backwards? What is a ‘typical’ career progression from CSM?

Hi all! I’ve been curious if any entry level data analyst roles or anything similar out there exist that train you for the position. A little about my background. I currently work in Finance. And my former experience involved data manipulation but I never worked with any languages myself. I also have a 4 year degree. I’m starting to feel I’m not where I want to be at my age and want to transition into something that will get me to 6 figures or as close as possible. Open up advice!

Any insight into how to transition into a Program Manager role? My background is process improvement in the supply chain space and I’m trying to pivot into tech. I’ve worked with engineers/ technical partners in my current role which I’m working on leveraging as transferable experience. Any must know concepts, skills or interview prep recommendations would be appreciated!

For 🐠 in Seattle/ Greater Seattle Area, where is the best place to live for a 30M who likes to get outdoors but appreciates what the city has the offer. Also needs to be close enough to downtown core to commute.

Cost would also be a factor - looking at ~$3k fully loaded total housing cost with insurance, utilities, etc.

Open to downtown but noting that: budget may restrict options; also large population of transient folks from my prior visits.

Hi Fishes,

McKinsey/BCG folks - work wise, have heard a few times that the most apparent difference with both firms is the management style. Mck adopts a more top-down approach whilst BCG a bottom-up. Would you say this is true? Would love to hear your stories too!

AITA: We've followed all the guidelines throughout this pandemic. My husband and I kept the kids home when there was no vaccine available for anyone. When family members and friends were fully vaccinated, they were allowed to come over. When those 5-12 were eligible for the vaccine, we took our two daughters in ASAP. My son is 4 and we have immunocompromised family members, whether they act like it or not. For Christmas, we decided on rapid tests to allow for a small family holiday. (Cont.)

When’s the optimal time to apply for BCG as a lateral hire?

Hi! I'm a GedEd Middle School ELA teacher in Texas. This year I'm teaching 3 sections of coteach ELA and it's been a nightmare. I don't know if the coteach model is just a nighmare or if it's just the way my school/district has rolled it out that is making it a nightmare. Does anyone have experience with coteach? Any help is appreciated.

Self contained ASD room. Does anyone not follow school bell schedule? Do you start and end each hour like the Gen Ed kids ( 1st hr. 2nd hr. and so on)? If you don’t follow bells, how does that work for you and do you do anything different?

Hello! Special education teacher here. Fellow teachers, I would like to know if any of your instructional aides (IA) are allowed to be in locked rooms with students for any purpose at all?

I am curious. When you evaluate a student, do you always feel the student truly met criteria or do you feel like you are sometimes grasping at straws to qualify a student to make a teacher or principal happy? I evaluated a student who we qualified under Autism Spectrum Disorder because he talked a lot, but not during instruction. He didn’t have many friends either. But could that have been a friendship group with the social worker.
