Hello, what is working in retail banking like at JPMorgan Chase ? Specially the branch manager role. I’m looking in the Columbus area. How is pay, culture, benefits, sales environment, meetings, etc. How easy is it to transition from retail banking to corporate. I hear the Polaris campus has great opportunities, I was thinking about getting my foot in the door through retail then transferring to corporate ?

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

Can we cut down on this WWIII hype already?
It’s time for me to move on from my back office/CBS job at EY. I’ve been able to get through to recruiter and hiring manager screening round with FAANG employers and some tech companies but never beyond that. How can I differentiate myself when I’m probably also up against our client facing colleagues in consulting. I have about 12 years experience (7 at EY doing the same thing).

Basically. Tours over OP.
I guess I’m trying to figure out what I need to do to switch.
No - if you apply to multiple firms, many times some of them will want to interview you and others won't - it all depends on how your skill set fits with their growth strategy.
Are you suggesting that because you didn’t get into MBB you are t consultant material? Not even for a tier 3?
Aren’t*
Yes
Part of being a consultant is asking the right questions
No. Do what you want. You will find the right cultural fit.
Dude/ette, I’m a bit of a worst case scenarioer too. Lots of reasons why they wouldn’t pick you, including you many not have the skill set they’re looking to grow at their firm (most likely a local and not global issue with you as a fit). If you’re a terrible fit, you won’t last a year in this biz. If you’re not sure if this is your career path for life, learn about yourself and continually write things down. Ask peers who you work with about your strengths and weaknesses. Take a Meyers Briggs - incredibly illuminating for me. Ultimately, time and a lot of introspection will uncover what you should point your life before. I let my faith help guide the discussion as well, but you may be at a different place in terms of faith.
No, of course it doesn't. Think of all the other factors that could come into play.
Consulting firms seem like college applications: they throw out anyone who doesn't meet minimum qualifications and then they narrow the pool further by RNG. Don't take it personally, there's a thousand things they could have been looking for this round that they won't be looking for in six months
