I’m struggling to find a full time job right now. I have 16 months of internship experience at a Big4, a 4 month internship at a well known bank and a 12 month internship at a boutique consulting firm.

My gpa is subpar (3.2/4.0) but I have strong extracurriculars and have been working full time while taking full time classes.

Any advice on what I can do to land a solid fu time offer?

You didn’t get any return offer?

I guess I’m just for working with what you got. If you’re solely concerned about having *any* offer, then it’s worth tapping into your network. Partners have a lot of pull, so don’t count him out. He also may be able to bring you onto his cool projects in the future.

UG recruitment is slowing down at most companies (if it isn’t already over), so you’ll need to be a bit patient if you want to venture out.

How long have you been looking? Job hunting comes with a lot of rejection unfortunately, but you sound like you should be able to find something right for you.

I looked actively from early August 2020 to early February 2021. Kinda been demotivated/slacking the past few months but trying to get back into the grind so wondering what i can do to put my best foot forward.

What kind of job do you want? Industry-wise

Finance or consulting

There aren’t many jobs this time of the year sadly. But fall is around the corner start prepping

Don’t want to doxx but target for finance, semi target for consulting.

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
