JOHN LEGEND WAS AT BCG 👌🙌👏👏💯💯💯 #FunFacts

Broadly, the best exits I’ve seen:

1. Early-stage startup
2. PE / VC firm as an associate
3. Left consulting completely to pursue a passion (e.g. John Legend, the DJ Elephante)
4. PM in big tech firm (Facebook RPM program, etc)
5. Work abroad
6. Joining a major nonprofit (e.g. Gates Foundation)

Yeah Elephante was at McK then dropped out to DJ

I left MBB to start a PE firm. Successfully fundraised and all.

Sadly not, but exiting to deal side PE is f’ing hard at any tenure. I got so sick of the ops side second class citizen roles on offer from HHs that I ended up creating my own exit.

Hi All,

Kindly help me in resolving the dilemma

MBA with Total YOE - 7+, relevant YOE- 5.3 , Skills - CYBERSECURITY,GRC, Audit.

I have got two offers
1. Genpact - 27 CTC (24 fixed + 10% variable plus gratuity) Manager level
2. Airbus - 23 CTC + 5 L JB
I really wanted to work with Airbus but they are not budging from the offer of 23 even after I told them I have a better offer from Genpact with better position. HR said they will come back..

You think Airbus will come back with better offer?

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.

How does your company manages HR or team building activities in WFH model ? is it effective in refreshing you or team culture ? Or is it just an extra overhead now ?

I feel it was a good break/refresh when at office but now it really feels just an extra overhead siting on desk pretending to have fun when you can ACTUALLY have rest/fun by just taking break for that time and instead interact with people around yourself AT Home. Feels more refreshing.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
