I'm interested in opinions on an exit opportunity. Would you leave BCG at the Consultant level for a promotion to a middle/back office VP role at JPMorgan? Similar TC for both, but much better wlb at JPM. What are the downsides?

Could be dead end job at JPM, depending on what you are doing in back office. Are you looking for a long term job to settle into?

I think so. I'm losing interest in consulting and the go go go mentality. I make enough to be happy where I'm at now.

Would you enjoy your work at JPM?

Yes, definitely. The only real concern is on career progression.

You could always do it, go back to consulting if you get bored and sell your experience as an expert in back office processes for financial services.

What part of the bank? Downside is raises will be minuscule if you’re not revenue generating/front office.
Culture is also very hit or miss.

I recently finished my Masters in Cyber Security and have a Bachelors in Software Development. As much as I love the technical aspect of my degrees, I think the happiest me would be in tech sales. I had found an opportunity at IBM for entry level sales starting in 2023 and was wondering if anyone had gone through this or the Summit program? Looking for insight on applying and would love to chat with anyone who has or currently works for IBM! Thanks in advance!

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable. So is the fixed amount my gross salary without any other deduction except TDS, or will the organisation contribution to PF be also deducted from the fixed component? Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?

I need a change so badly I’m on the verge of tears almost every day. I’ve invested so much preparing for this career. I know I have so much talent that’s not being utilized. I feel stifled and stuck. I don’t need the health insurance but I’m terrified of giving up financial security. Any suggestions in NH for a sp ed with a MS in ed tech integration and a CAGS in Ed leadership. I am driven by identifying systems and creative problem solving and also have a background in art & design.
