If I have 1.5 years of securities litigation and 8 months at a RE firm (doing some litigation and tax abatement work), would I still be able to pivot to doing corporate or capital markets transactional work? I’m getting worried that my current role is going to derail my chances of getting to that point. I went to the RE firm hoping I’d be able to get /some/ transactional experience to put on a resume.

Is there a possibility to talk to the transactional partners at your firm and ask if they could use your help or

Or would this potentially insult the partners you work with now?

It might insult my partner, but maybe if I stay here longer, I could speak with my partner about doing other types of work

Received offer from BCG for ECT AD role. Read numerous comments about ECT being not attractive compared to Generalists track. Also heard challenges about billability/utilization. Any views/guidance is appreciated.

Background - I am not super keen to become an equity partner and comfortable to stay on ECT track. Main reason to join will be opportunity to work with different clients, smart talented people and good brand. I may consider going back to industry after 3-5 years in ECT.

Hello,
I have applied for the position of a consultant at Accenture and am currently ongoing the interview process.
I have successfully cleared the Skill 1 and Skill 2 interview rounds and was now expecting that the next would be the HR round.
I have been mailed that there is there is a third round before the HR round that is going to conducted the next week.
Skill 1: Pure Technical
Skill 2: Semi Technical + Managerial

What you I be expecting in this third round?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
