Quite a few of my colleagues went into academia, exited to PhD programs and became biz school professors - solid salaries generally. I may do this too.

Do you know how long these programs take? Just seems like very hard for someone who is presumably mid to upper 20s taking close to zero in salary for years at a time. It’s one thing when you’re young.

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.
