MBA from top 10 (graduating in 2021)
4+ years of experience with PwC as a tax professional (responsibilities include financial data analysis, transaction tax due diligence, technology implementation, etc).
MBA Intern in a small equity research firm (responsibilities include market research, financial statement modeling, etc).

My coursework includes a few bankruptcy and turnaround courses. I also had training in 13-week cash flow and liquidation analysis.

I would imagine they’re recruiting at your school? If so, of course you’re enough

Not sure if I’m being too optimistic but I think you should go for it, but find some network/ referral along the way to help with the process. I joined S& from a non traditional background so things may work for ya.

Seems appropriate for an associate / analyst position in Rx. What was feedback from prior interview? You can always recruit with Alix and then apply later.

I only got 3 days to prep the prior interview so I didn't have time to get tips sooner. I blew up the excel test and I knew it. I am much better now at the technical part but the recruiting is changed. So I am wondering if my qualities are still ok to land an interview.

I got notice everything at the new firm is good to go. Now to give notice. I’m dreading it. I really really like my boss but this opportunity is too good to pass up. How do you even start? I’ve been in this role 8 years. How to give notice?? Yikes! I’m giving about 2 1/2 weeks notice. 10/17 start date. Any help is appreciated!!!
