I started off doing private companies, realized quickly that I did not enjoy dealing with a million small companies. Pivoted to real estate for a gander, realized again how much I hated partnerships and flow through structures. Jumped to financial services and ended up enjoying the work I do now due to the nature of the industry and the type of work I do. Moral of the story is to try shit out until something clicks.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I focus primarily on banks, foreign branches, etc. which are primarily corporate structures in nature. I don’t touch the asset management side which deals with the hordes of flow-through entities although I am forced to deal with some every so often.

Pick speclization? Is this ey

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?
