I am currently waiting for the job offer for a consulting firm but I was told it could take several months. Between now and then, I have plenty of time for myself.

I’m considering it as a side job.
Any other ideas/suggestions would be great

Anyone here broken into real estate private equity from big 4 consulting? What steps did you take to jump into RE PE? What gaps in knowledge did you have and how did you fill them? Outside of the knowledge gaps what other things do you think you needed in order to get into RE PE?

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

Did anybody join Virtusa recently in Level-2 designation in JPMC?

Has anyone interviewed with google for the strategic finance role? If so, would appreciate any guidance/tips on how to best prep for the interviews

Anyone worked or currently work at B Capital? Currently interviewing there, curious to know about the culture, WLB, etc. especially in the LA office.

Would you renege for an extra $17k sign-on bonus from a B4 offer if you’ve already signed with a boutique? Base is identical and I have 7YOE.

When will FAANG turn into FAANGS to include SalesForce?

I love the idea of working in venture capital or start-ups, but cannot stand the people. I find the culture extremely performative, and the people incredibly self-important.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Anyone know of orgs with an emphasis/value teaching and learning?

My friend is working for a non-profit, has lots of transferable skills, and is willing to learn…but his job applications haven’t gained much traction. I think it’s because he’s looking to move towards a more corporate org and those recruiters don’t necessarily know what to make of his past experience.

Anyone interview with Coinbase (BizOps) before? What was the process like - traditional case interviews, or something else?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Would switching from S& to LEK boost, hurt, or not change exit ops to PE/ PE ops/Corp dev & strat roles? Also looking at benefits of not having independence and utilization requirements. Thanks!

Know it’s a long shot but any McKinsey or MBB folks willing to case practice with me?
