My understanding is that the fellowships happen at post grad level and at partner/professor level. Not sure if people in between are eligible

Senior managers join as professional fellows as well. You usually would join the national office on a rotation first and then would be nominated by leadership to apply.

I currently work in an HVAC role but really want to pivot into data analytics. The only real experience I have that I feel is relevant is project management. I do code in my spare time with Python and am working on my own data analysis projects. Does anyone have any advice? I also worry that with the switch I will be losing out on money. I make roughly 70k a year currently and would like to at least maintain that salary.

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.
