Nah, just have a compelling story and be ready for your ‘why’

It’s not bad to apply. Did you go to a top 10 school and have excellent grades and extra curriculars? Getting an offer at B4 is way easier than MBB.

OP with your background, you need to not only apply but get an offer by year end or Q12023 at Tier 2 or MBB

Apply to big tech too (S&O/ BizOps and APM (Product) if CS)

Best of luck! Believe in yourself as I know when you are from an Ivy, you might start to doubt yourself surrounded by people having MBB as a back up haha

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

My mental health has taken a toll & the WLB hasn’t been very balanced at all in recent years. I need to get out & haven’t really looked for a job in almost 20 years.
