I wanted to do consulting out of undergrad to get a chance to work on strategy projects. Failing to get any interviews, I got into federal thinking it would be interesting to try and solve problems for our gov’t. Now am stuck on soul-destroying, low-paying fed staff aug work. I need to make a change. What do you 🐠 suggest? Do I keep trying to get into strategy / MBB consulting, or should I attempt a pivot to something completely different? Still pretty early in career (~2 YoE).

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized.

I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options?

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."
