Hi all! I am currently an engineer working in the water/wastewater treatment and environmental remediation sector but I've been interested in pivoting to sustainability for a while. I've looked into McK/BCG and to a lesser extent Big 4. Unfortunately, I got rejected by BCG before R1 and McK doesn't seem to be hiring at the associate level yet (in the expert track). Wanted to ask if anyone had any thoughts on how to best proceed as I am running out of ideas. Thanks!

It’s funny - I’ve been rejected so many times in my short career. But when it happens, I still feel a small sting. Just got dinged from an interesting role - how do you deal with the aftermath?

I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks.

I’m looking to leave my job and have 2 interview processes going on at the moment. One is with a company I love with a role that would be a good challenge and double my current pay, but they have a hiring freeze at the moment with an end date this fall (supposedly). The other is a great opportunity for me to lead a team and a whole program with a little less money than the other role. Would it be bad if I join the 2nd role then leave in a few months for the 1st one if I got an offer?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

I'm an ESG analyst at a private equity firm, technically investment team but looking to pivot to a role with more direct impact, whether that's consulting or banking to gain experience to take on an investment role. Any tips, thoughts, or willingness to chat is very welcome!!
