Yes, absolutely - please apply!

A couple things of note - it’s really tough to move in as a generalist. Go on our website, find the service line that aligns most to your experience (functional: supply chain, M&A, sales and marketing; or industry: healthcare, etc), tailor your resume to demonstrate expertise in that specific area, and then leverage Google / linked in / fishbowl to get your resume in front of a recruiter or consultant in that service line.

Our goal in broadening the pool for our applicants is to find people who have developed strong expertise (even if only at the junior levels) and are the absolute top performers wherever they’ve been thus far. Those are the sorts of people we can further develop.

Please note that a lot folks moving from other firms find they are leveled down one level.

Best of luck!

Of course. Also, just to clarify - the alignments I gave where just top-of-head examples, not saying you specifically should target those.

@D1- I do not, sorry. Reach out to someone in that area to find out.

I’m sick of working in Pharma advertising. I don’t feel good about what I do and my clients are an absolute nightmare. Needless to say, I’m ready to jump ship and explore a marketing career outside of agencies (possibly at a record label - I love music). Any advice on how to leave an agency and get a new job in-house somewhere? Idk where to begin or what title I’d apply for.

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager.

My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
