Haven't worked at a place in about 5 years with a good technical manager. Most of the 5 years was in industry but recently boomeranged back to consulting. I feel like my technical skills have stalled and haven't really grown in any other skills. For those who had less technically skilled managers, how did you manage up or get the most out of your managers? I just don't have anyone to go to for advice or even ask for technical questions

Compliment each other’s skillset. You leverage your technical skills, and depend on the manager to bring his set of skills for delivery. Managers are expected to work beyond just technical delivery, so they’re not always expected to know everything about being hands on.

Reach out to broader practice teams, org level communities for getting your answers. If you’re still struggling then have an open conversation with your manager about the lack of skillset that’s required for delivering the job, and develop a plan for yourself to upskill.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
