I am currently in consulting with 3 years of experience - currently a Senior; 1 year previously in industry.

What is the optimal number of years to stay in consulting? 3? 4? Or suck it up and stay till 5?

I ask because I’ve been all over the gamut of recruiting from associate to senior associate roles for interviewing….

I was wondering if anyone in this group is or knows about groups to support attorneys who are/have been suspended and how to handle it with life. Frankly the state bar isn't a good resource and it's starting to impact my career in not practicing the law. I've been working for a non attorney job in my company for years and was recently told my suspension means I'd never get it. Boy that was a blow that triggered depression and anxiety, still there as it's been less than a year week.

Does anyone else just feel incapable of doing interview prep after several instances of making it to the final round and getting rejected? I have another final round interview tomorrow but I just can’t seem to care because this is the fourth time in 6 months I’ve made it to a final round! I’m tired lol. How do I stay motivated? Should I even “prep” or should I wing it?

What are some of the best certifications to obtain besides CPA?

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

How soon do most companies let you know if you're not proceeding to the next round of interviews? Do they let you know within the day, a day after, or a week usually?

Is it worth it to play the long game in public accounting (partner track) or to transition to industry and potentially become CFO, CEO, Controller role?

Looking for advice. Based in the Bay Area and have 3.5 yr exp in IT Audit mostly SOX with a little SOC exp (ex big 4, couple of regionals) and have been applying to industry (mostly tech companies) since May. made it to final interviews only to find out hiring freezes were in effect or they went with a LCOL candidate.Would like to exit to a GRC role or a mixed role thats 50% sox, 50% varied projects, or a SOX role if the team culture is good. No luck getting in non sox work at current firm.

I have no idea where places are where people are exiting to 300 and 400k/yr. I checked Glassdoor director of corporate strategy roles and they pay like 130/140. Why go through consulting for that?

I've never watched racing before but I woke up this morning to a Formula 1 Race on TV and left it on. Something about the cars routinely going round and round is surprisingly relaxing to me.

Please help me.

Left consulting mid-career to start afresh in a new role. It’s been half a year and not enjoying the nature of the work. Is it too soon to call it quits or am I falling prey to the sunk cost fallacy?

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

Anyone can refer me to FANG? Analyst level decent performance focus on business operation, data analyst and business intelligence

Supposed to hear back by EOW from a hiring manager about a position I’m deep in the interview process for. There should be an iPhone setting called “mute all notifications except the one I care about”

Should I accept an offer from a preseries A startup in this current climate? Concerned it may fail…

Interested in eventually exiting into wellness tech.... what are the best consulting firms to start at?

What are similarities of product management versus portfolio project management?

Turned on the "open to work" flag on LinkedIn and the recruiter messages have already increased in quality & quantity after one day. Highly recommend.

Any Hybris/SAP Commerce Cloud architects looking for a new opp? I’m hiring. No visa sponsorship unfortunately.

For those of you who left the Midwest for a FAANG company like Apple… was the move to CA worth it? Have an opportunity and it’s just really difficult wrapping my head around the cost and standard of living, being far from friends and family, etc.

I have a product interview coming up and one of the questions is “what is a product you know a lot about , tell me it’s functions, issues, how it can be improved , and market space"

Left McKinsey for a Fintech corporate last year. Really disappointed to see bonuses given out (cash is equivalent to half month salary, equity vested over 5 yes also not great) after getting the 5/5 rating and business doing well overall. Doubting my decision to come to industry. Is this the norm? Feels really low as historically variable has been a big enough component for me to pay down loans/invest.

Anybody here recruit at Carta? If so, what was the interview experience like and what did you think of their culture?

Does studying for top consulting firms’ case interviews help in any way for interviews with other firms (e.g., FAANG case interviews) ?

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
