How are your hours? Flexibility? I want to turn to a people-first career from being an analytics DS in tech, and "real" consulting seems cool. Variety of exposure, tons of ops to work closely with self-development inspired coworkers, and a clear (if up or out) career path. But some reservations about the rep for the time put in. I'm no stranger to midnight calls if needed, but not exactly dying to sign myself up for that on the regular. And kind of like my Sundays lol

Idk if you consider KPMG “real” consulting but if you’re interested I’m happy to talk about KPMG lighthouse with you!

What kinds of projects do you have experience in? We have an insights and analytics team that’s increasing headcount and starting to push more into DS. The work is inherently people-first and strategic. Could be a good fit!

Will gladly switch places with you lol

I have wild flexibility and freedom. My team under me delivers R&D quarters ahead of schedule.

Career growth, at my company however, is completely stagnant, with zero objective measures to hit for promotion. So I’m actively applying - but the bar to leave is super high.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
