Hi! Looking for advice:

Graduated with my BS in May 21, and have been working as an embedded consultant for a little under 2yrs. Due to my work performance, I was promoted to Lead of my 5 person team after only 10 months. It’s a position that, when hiring externally, requires 3yrs exp + Masters.

When in interviews for new positions, this has been almost a negative(!), as I can’t progress or even move laterally as I don’t have a Masters or 3+ yrs of experience yet.. it’s so defeating!!

Public finance exit opps?

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
