Got an interview with KPMG for senior associate - financial services. Most of my previous consulting work has been with technology and health care companies. Would it be too tough a transition to come in as an SC with no to little banking or financial services experience. I do like that space but don’t have much knowledge in lending and banking.

No you’ll be fine, will learn it on the job. Just read up on insurance and banking a little bit before so you know common terms

I wouldn’t advertise it but it’s not a showstopper in my opinion, especially at Sr assoc level

Let me know if/how you succeed. I've got the same background as you and may need to broaden my search to find something these days.

Will do !

how did this end up going? :)

Interview process has been extremely slow with this particular job posting - probably due to holidays. I got an offer from pwc in their supply chain (sourcing and procurement) department which I will most likely take but I would rather take this one in financial services.

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?

Hi All,

I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.
I was hoping if anyone can help me to prepare better or suggest a plan to land a job for a role that aligns with my ambitions.
Thank You

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
