At this point certs/experience aren't going to get you the role rather your interview and how you sell yourself for lack of better words

Why waste your time with CFA, you’re not managing investments and your current credentials are more than enough. Focus that time on interview prep instead

uplifting

Certificates are nice to have! What is more important is your relevant experience and how that experience along with your personality (culture fit) would add value to BCG and its clients.

A personality...

funny

Certs, while helpful as a talking point, don’t come into play in the generalist interview (maybe for GAMMA).

There was another OC a bit before who was disappointed their CFA would amount to little at the firm.

Seeking direction in selecting the most cost effective and fastest route to become an MLS. I have a international STEM BSc (2014), 3 years of research lab experience, 1 year hospital lab experience and 2.5 years veterinary diagnostics experience. I live in Michigan and was told by two schools that my credits have to be less than five years old but I think they are trying to get me to pay more by staying in school for four years. Can anyone offer some guidance? Does my prior exp hold no value?

Hello Fishes, Can someone confirm what should be the grade and designation in HCL for around 17 years of experience?

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?

Can any give Insights into interview procedure of IQVIA and what to expect.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
