Hey all, what’s the work culture of the financial/consulting industry in dallas? Is it hard to get a job here?

I’m planning to move to the DFW area in a year or so. Since I have some time before I need to look seriously, I’ve been building up my skills more. Like I see a some companies prefer Power BI over tableau (goldman) and houlihan uses dataiku, etc. if anyone has suggestions on popular platforms that dallas companies use /anything in general let me know!

No one can predict how the job market will be a year from now. I would say plan to start applying 3-4 months before your expected move.

Too many people and not that many high paying jobs in consulting now a days in dfw .. cheers
You can only land in higher positions via one’s network
