Network to get work. Especially if you’re a new grad. For small businesses with less than 50 employees, call and ask if they’re hiring. You’d be surprised how much of a difference that can make.

Since you've recently graduated, I would consider connecting with previous instructors and looking for a paid internship in your field of study. Honestly, you never know where one opportunity may lead. Have you started a resume since graduating?

What type of work are you looking for? Depending on the specific function, I would recommend looking into certifications or internships in that field to get more experience, to add on to your resume. I would recommend to edit your resume with ChatGPT to be tailored towards job specifications of the role you are interested in, reach within your network for referrals, and mass apply to jobs. You never know what will hit!

Hi all! My brother has 8 YOE post his Masters with a US bank in their rates trading division as a software developer- managing, supporting and developing software for pricing trade executions, risk management and reporting requirements for the trading desk. He wants to pivot out of banking and maybe look for an opportunity with FAANG or with MBB/Tier2 consulting. Any inputs on how to go about this transition, what hiring managers look for and if consulting is an option? TIA

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?
