I had an interview with my dream company tomorrow and developed food poisoning today. Why is life so cruel 😞 although recruiter said he’s happy to reschedule, I feel like shit. No pun intended

Ughhhhhh you can’t make this stuff up. What are you gonna do?

It’s ok. Make sure you get the new slot and stay positive

I don’t think its an issue. Don’t keep it in your mind as something thats negative. It certainly isn’t.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.
