GP Stakes and PE secondaries: how good is the medium/long term outlook for the market and would a niche specialty in these areas be very limiting for my career?

Mid-level copywriter looking to move from content agency to a more traditional advertising gig. With campaigns, an AD partner, tv spots, the whole shebang. I work on the more traditional work that comes through our shop but I’d like to make the move to a good ol’ fashioned ad agency.

Those of you who switched consulting firms and within one year realized it wasn’t a fit, did you leave within the year or stick it out longer? Any pros in sticking it out and hoping it gets better?

I was mapping to trizetto project in CTS as a QA , can anyone tell me how the project will be and is there any career growth in that ????

I’m looking at doing a side gig doing professional mentoring, interview preparation and resume design/building/editing for some supplemental income. I’ve been doing it informally for a couple years with folks in my network and to much success. Folks have recommended I branch out and start charging for the hours I spend on it. I actually enjoy it and very savvy in the federal government world and consulting. Anyone know where i could start or be connected into doing this?

Initially I was interviewed for SG-28 but post that they have corrected it to 27 quoting the year of experience is less than 12 years. I am an mba (IIM) with 9 years of experience overall (5.6 yoe in product management). Is this SG 27 inline with other MBA folks with similar experience. ? Or am I moving into lesser grade ? Someone please provide the insight. Thank you.

Has anyone here successfully moved from consulting to buy-side? If so, what is your story?

2nd year here: When do you leave a firm because your not getting any work? I don’t want put details but it’s not due to lack of trying on my end. I’ve also been told I do good work and people like working with me. We also hired too many people this past year and partners hoard hours for bigger bonus. How long do I stick it out? I like my firm and don’t want to leave but I think I have to.

Hello everyone! I’m currently an analyst (duh), but I’d really like to transfer my skills and knowledge into being a publicist.

Any idea on how to make the transition that doesn’t involve school?

I (31 yo) left agency for a really stagnant, boring and dead-end (but cushy) corporate comms role (been here for 3+ yrs now). I've freelanced a lil bit on the side and I'm thinking of doing it full time, but I worry that i'm too used to the structure of my work and might not have the drive for freelancing. Anyone have tips, insights, opinions on this situation or on going freelance?

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.

Started dating a girl- she’s got her shit together and to be honest, could probably do better than me. I thin she’s still dating other people - we have plans for tomorrow and I wanted to decide what we would do. she just told me that she can’t talk because she’s having dinner with a ‘friend’ and her phone is about to die. Don’t want to jump to conclusions but seems like a date

Hi all, I recently had an interview at ING Amsterdam for a Risk Quant role. Is it a good place to work? Career possibilities? Is it well paid? Currently a similar role in Madrid. Thanks

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager. I would’ve jumped on this opportunity if they asked me before. However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?

Anyone here work at Baird?, just had some questions

Is there any interesting exit ops for someone from Markets Operations? I’ve been in operations for 5 years, most of that time in a Prime Brokerage Market risk support team and now moved into risk and settlements space.

I work at Big4 TAS Germany,with a great team and a nice role that I enjoy. Nevertheless, I very often feel underpaid and at the moment the market seems quite hot and it would be possible to change to IB. Anyone has views on Big4 TAS vs Small local IB Boutiques (IEG, Case, Contor). Money is definitely better but I am afraid that the lack of name recognition may hinder my exit opps long term.

A recruiter reached out to schedule an initial call. After I responded, I was ghosted. No real question just seems so strange since they reached out to me.

I’ve done so many final round Goldman securities/Investment Management interviews that I’ve lost count. My most recent interview was a result of taking part in the Career Pivot Program, but HR ghosted me when Covid hit. Does anyone have and helpful tips on how to get the offer at the final round? And is anyone in the securities/investment management arm willing to chat regarding a referral?
