Hi 🐟! Just a quick question, but how would you answer the question why do you want to leave your current company? Should you keep it general as “I am looking for new opportunities, explore new methodologies…” or link the question directly with why you find the new firm more attractive?

Keep criticism of the role, leadership, and company to a bare minimum, if any at all, and always frame it in a positive light. Your interviewer is interested in seeing how you might be a good fit at their company. Though a very real part of your journey, it's not helpful information in the context of the present conversation. There will also be an unsaid presumption that you had a part in any and all negativity that may follow you.

Looking for opportunities for personal and professional growth, amd to have new and engaging experiences are very valid reasons to get a new job, even if you like what you do today.

I’m as honest as is reasonable. Company with through a few RIFs, so looking for job stability. Looking for a chance to continue to grow in my career. Looking for mentoring opportunities. Project ownership. Things like that. “Unfortunately I haven’t really had those opportunities in my current role”

Hi fish, hope you are having a good weekend.

I'm wondering which skills from consulting would be the most versatile/transferrable and key to learn, e.g., strategy, for consulting or general business acumen. I currently have had experiences in RWE data analytics and management and wanted to see what I can target next. Feel free to provide granularity in your response. Thanks!

Feeling really torn between fed loans and private loans for my MBA.

Should I just do federal and then refinance after working for a bit post-grad when I’m feeling more stable/secure in my finances/career?
