Hi everyone. I am a graduating senior at Penn State looking to get a job in tech consulting or cybersecurity. I have been searching for the past month and a half. I currently have 1.5 years of experience as an IT Level I Technician. Any advice for me? As a woman in tech, I have been struggling to find my confidence lately.

+1! They are a great company to work for too! Really great place to get your foot in the door!

Yes, I applied! I actually am going to an EY information session tomorrow because I want to meet with recruiters.

Good luck! I’m a woman trying to get into tech as well. Build your confidence and advocate for yourself and you should be good!

Don't give up! The job market has definitely slowed down a bit over the past few months, but there are still plenty of great opportunities. It's all about timing. Also, make sure your resume is optimized.

I’ve only been on the full-service side for the past 2 years and my book of managed money is about $10M, with another $10M+ being self-directed by clients. I’d love to find an RIA job, what type of role would be suggested?
