Has anyone moved from client facing consulting to an internal (support) role in consulting? How has the experience been?

Unfortunately support roles in majority (if not all) consulting firms are treated as second class citizens

I understand, I’m more focused on trying to understand working culture, growth / exit opportunities, etc.

It can be fine. Big drop in pay though, and growth is capped as typically leadership even for back office comes from the consulting ranks.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
