Bain & Company Hi MBB folks! I'm a Chartered Accountant and a Tax Manager at EY India. Close to 10 years of experience with EY. I am looking to make a switch to Management Consulting. I gather that BCG and Bain are open to hiring experienced CAs. Any one seen or experienced this? What's the typical position and CTC my profile is likely to fetch? Any leads would be helpful! Thanks y'all!

Are there many legitimate ethical hurdles when switching from insurance defense to plaintiff’s work?

I like what I do—so far—but I’m constantly thinking about whether the grass is greener.

I've been struck with the feeling my company, a small Fintech, prioritize the +8y/o experienced professionals rather than the hard working ones. Nothing new here, the ambient seems ok on the surface but everyone tries to steal your job and important tasks.

I'm currently at my 29s and studying for CFA lvl1 but since its a startup I've been doing too much operational work rather than analysis itself. Any advice on how to control anxiety and approach this career pivot? Anyone have dealt with this?
