How tricky is the move from strategy consulting to investment banking if you’ve done previous internships in IB? I am currently a junior consultant thinking of applying for an analyst role at a bank. I joined my firm last October and I feel like I’ve made a mistake and strategy definitely isn’t technical enough for my liking.

Right now, easy. If you could have secured an IB job last fall, you will be able to secure one now. A stint in a consulting firm won’t stop you. Banks are desperate for junior staff.

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability.

I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.
