I’m an Industrial Engineer with 2.5 years as an Associate Consultant. Recently, I’ve felt burned out due to repetitive tasks and a lack of team management or collaboration. I’ve been applying for management or logistical roles with an ATS-friendly CV but haven’t received responses, which has been draining and demotivating. I’d really appreciate your advice on how to navigate this situation and move closer to achieving my career goals.

Unfortunately, with the job market, you are going to have to keep trying. In the meantime, networking as much as possible to try and find new jobs that might fit your goals. Also, look for unique opportunities at your current job that could make the stay more enjoyable (discount at a local gym, tuition assistance for a career pivot, audiobooks, health resources are some examples my company offers).

Networking is a huge thing in the field. And don't be afraid to reach out to others.

Definitely agree with the person above who said networking in this industry is huge. I can't tell you how many times someone I met networking has come through for me later on down the road.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
