I’m starting at a big 4 firm in tax as an associate in June. My team is very specialized and I don’t want to get pigeon holed since I don’t think I want to stay in a big 4 longer than 5 or so years. I’m thinking I’ll do a year on the team I’m assigned to and try and switch into audit. I think it aligns with my interests better and has better exit opportunities. What’s the best way to go about this? Does that timeline seem right? Or is it even worth it to switch out?

Hey guys I have been in sales for a while now 2 years in real estate and about 5 months in insurance. How do I get started in tech sales?

3 YOE in a big 4/accenture firm. Most of my consulting projects have been in data science/analytics, data engineering, & digital marketing. I have also heavily used R, Python, PowerBI, Tableau, SQL, etc & some digital analytics tools such as adobe analytics

Apart from data science (which is pretty competitive), what type of roles at FAANG or big tech can I get with my experience? Or would anyone with a similar background share where or what they exited to?

To L.E.K. 🐠 out here, what type of work do you do in the AU market and what industries do you work with?

I'm a consultant with about 2 YOE, considering a move away from the big D, and would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on getting fed government jobs? I'm a first year associate in a specialized transaction group in DC and I fucking hate it.

Right now I’m a data analyst with TSQL/PLSQL/MySQL experience. I have experience writing complex queries/views/stored procedures/etc. I have intermediate excel skills and have dabbled in Power BI.

What is a good ETL tool to learn?
