Hello! Has anyone here moved from the Life Science/Medical field to Consulting? Finished my MD last year and have 4+ years of research experience. Have been applying broadly to consulting firms (most with referrals) but I'm only getting rejections. Really want to move into consulting so any help would be appreciated! I don't mind starting off as an analyst or entry level job and make my way up.

Appeared for KPMG interview 45 days back. HR is intentionally delaying offer release. Done with 2nd round of interview in last week of July. My Lwd is in oct first week. She took documents on 23rd Aug and did salary discussion a week later. And giving shitty excuses like waiting for approval. Approver is on leave bla bla.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Good time to short park hotels & resorts (PK) ?

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

I’m 35 and I’ve been at the same company for 8 years. I found out that a newly hired 30 YO is making the same as me.
