How is the political environment at your company?

In your experience, is it less intense in consulting or more so in industry roles?

I’m honestly tired of workplace politics. I just want to focus on doing good work and performing well, without getting caught up in games or pulling others down. It feels like there’s constant pressure to ‘play the game’ even when you're delivering results. I’d really appreciate hearing how things are at your firm and how you manage it.

Coming from my personal exp — Politics within enterprise strategy units in large institutions (like banks) can be very stressful, especially since you’re not directly responsible for PnL so you’re juggling a lot of fugazzi concepts and “thought leadership.”

While this is a Toronto bowl, the politics at the GoC in Ottawa are unreal.

You’re going to encounter politics at every corporation, it is just the name of the game. The roles with minimal politics would be ones in sales where the only thing that matters are the total revenue figures you bring in.

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!
