Hi Microsoft fishes,
Can you please suggest the roles one can get in Microsoft if they are coming from a management consulting background?
My skills are mostly in market research and have very good proficiency in Excel/powerpoint while being a very beginner of python/R.
Total corporate YoE - 4 years.
Thanks for reading the post :) Microsoft

Which V20 has the worst culture and why?
Subject Expert
Yes. Apply to biglaw again if you’d be interested in that. Happens all the time that people take a paycut for a so-called “lifestyle” firm and realize they’re working just as hard but for less money and with less resources.
You can explain it away as you found yourself missing the supersmart attorneys, sophisticated clients, deal quality, resources, yada yada yada from biglaw and realized it’s not biglaw you dislike, just that your former firm wasn’t the right fit but you’re really excited about top notch practice/good reputation for training/good reputation for collegial culture etc etc that new firm you’re interviewing with offers.
You’ll get some raised eyebrows at a quick move but some places will hire if your practice is hot at the moment. I wouldn’t throw good money after bad by waiting it out a year for this kind of move.

Agreed— don’t wait to make a move if you’re unhappy now.

No advice here only came to say same (except I hated my old firm less). Hoping for another move in 2024 after bonuses are paid, and that I don’t lose my mind in the meanwhile
Out of curiosity, why do you regret it?
a lot less structure and support, a lot of the same kind of work and expectations for less pay.
I was in a near identical spot not too long ago. Yes you have options. Feel free to DM.

Why did you decide to go to a boutique?
I didn’t like the mentality of my BL firm and we were hemorrhaging people, so it made it worse for those of us who stayed. The boutique had lower hours expectations and said they had mentorship opportunities.
