How hard would it be (if even possible) to switch from Big 4 Deal Advisory to MBB? Just started a few months ago and can tell this is not for me long term.

Possible. You might need to apply in spring vs now, but ymmv. The bigger questions are what is it you don't like about your current job, and why the grass is greener at MBB.

Curious to know why you’d recommend applying in the spring vs now?

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine.

It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?
