Hi Has anyone made the switch from a bank to BIG 4. I currently work in Market risk and have few offers from Consulting firms.
What should be considered while deciding ?

Why do you want to switch to consulting? There are so many cons with consulting. Most people in consulting switch to Banks later in the career.

It's only 3 months and I'm again looking for Captive unit.

Ask for project. Take all the specifics regarding the project as they can give you any kind of work.


Also, your stay won't be as smooth as you had in Credit Suisse.

Yeah, depends if you don’t want to dwell into repetitive tasks as well to learn holistically then you can move to consulting

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Hi all 👋 does anyone have any recommendations for career switchers trying to land entry-level digital marketing or social media coordinator roles?

I would really prefer a smaller marketing agency where I can wear many hats and learn the ropes from scratch. Thanks in advance 😁
