I spoke with a Strategy& recruiter and they want to send me to round 1 for Financial Services, but I'm slightly more interested in TMT. Is there more demand for FS than TMT right now, perhaps as impacted by tech hiring freezes and layoffs? If you had to pick one industry, which would you pick and why? Strategy& PwC

Go where you’re interested, will be much easier to be recognized as a top performer if you’re actually interested in the content. TMT also has a better rep culture wise at S&

It’s not that easy as just “where you want to go”
OP - we are about to have hundreds of interns and campus hires start in the next few months, we are not hiring any other junior employees unless there is significant demand. FS demand is apparently high enough to still be recruiting, but you can’t just switch to another industry

FS gets sold out in economic booms like other industries, but FS also gets sold out in financial crises

FS is way more in demand relative to supply. IMO Mostly because that’s a rough industry culturally. TMT has good culture here, retains people better.

Business may still be good in a recession for either industries. Shift may be from growth work to more cost work

I'm interested in joining S&, but also unsure of which industry to put myself forward for.

I have experience and interest in both TMT and consumer & retail.

As a snr associate is there opportunity to work across both areas, or are you selected for projects based on industry group you belong to? Thanks

You should join the group you most want to work with. There can be cross staffing but I wouldn’t bank on it.

What is your primary concern?

If you want to go big tech go to TMT. FS does quite a bit of fintech work across payments, insurance, banking, wealth and asset mgmt…

Thanks for the input, Strategy& people!

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
