Hi everyone 👋

Searching for a study buddy for the next 5 weeks (or more) to help me stay on track as I build up my study habits 🤓

I'm studying for the CFA and aiming for an efficient 1.5 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends. Looking for frequent but quick check-ins (e.g. report updates daily or every other day).

Let's get this done and make new friends along the way!

What have you found most helpful in training up a very green junior brand planner or junior strategist? Any particular trainings or resources that are great at teaching foundational skills? I’ll be pulling them into projects and teaching through doing but I need some assistance in building up their core skills/training the strategy muscle.

Hello All,

Does anyone know about a non profit organization that does consulting work where I can volunteer and gain consulting skills and experience?

Thanks

Which practice group (m&a, capital markets, or funds) would be best for someone who genuinely doesn’t care about this job/law but wants to stay in biglaw (NYC) as long as possible? Some folks say m&a is more “intellectually stimulating” and I wonder, for that reason, perhaps capital markets might suit me? (I’d rather take mind numbing repetitive tasks over more “challenging” deals)

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Hi everyone.

I joined Accenture as level 10 with 5 yr experience in September 2022.
Is there a chance for promotion next year?
If so how.

What are the skills required to sustain in Pharma/ Healthcare Analytics in the long term?

Has anyone taken the CDFA exam? Is it difficult? How much time did you devote to studying in order to pass?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate. Just one rejection after another, even when applying with internal referrals from Director or Partner levels. What am I doing wrong?

I’m currently Working in Healthcare IT as a Project Manager. Thinking of transitioning into healthcare consulting. What are your tips on this with regards to companies, options and challenges

I feel like this whole S&O thing hasn't really changed my life within EY on a daily basis. Is that because the switch isn't clicked until July or? I figured they would begin soft transition now..

I'm planning to do my PGDM in Canada
Which College/Universities should I consider to get recruited into top consulting firms (Also the preferred courses) ?

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

Long drive tomorrow. Does anyone know of any on demand CFP continue education courses out there? I’d love to knock out 15 hrs of CE on this drive, if able. 🤦‍♂️🔫🤢

Any NYC firms hiring entry ux/prod designers?

I am in need of some advice I have a bachelors in healthcare administration. My long term goal would be a CEO of a hospital. I am looking at masters programs and need some advice as what to get my masters in. I could get my masters in healthcare administration but would like to look at something a little different maybe healthcare leadership or something. Anyone have some advice?

I’m one of the top performers in the company and got invited to the company’s emerging leadership program. I always meet all my goals and deliverables on time but still feel like half of the time I’m not even doing anything (or performing my best). How do I leverage this ‘off-time’ into something productive in order to progress faster?

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

4. Lose 8lbs
5. Meditate or journal every day

Current weight - 121lbs.
Desired weight - 112(like always)

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.
