How likely is it to pivot from 1 YOE in Fund accounting for PE firms to consulting? Just testing the waters and seeing how I should prepare. Deciding accounting is not for me even though I was excited about this role, I am no longer.

Completely agree. Practice casing early and often.

I moved from audit to consulting last summer, and now the pipeline is dried up and not looking good for me. May need to go back to audit :(

Hi all 8.7 YOE now, Joined wipro 4 months back with 26.5+1lac JB. Skills business analytics. My current project does not follow agile processes at all, very relaxed client. However what im worried is after 2 years would interviewers expect me to have handled a project all alone and acted as a product owner. Thats what i sense once i have 10 YOE, if i switch it would be 6th company, (2 years break due to MBA ofcourse)
