Leave? It’s just a job my dude, there are more out there. Imagine someone rolled onto your team and they said “yeah I spent a year at my last firm.” Would you think anything of it?

No. Consulting isn’t for everyone (not being a troll here, I genuinely mean that) no matter how smart you are. It could also very much be the nature of your client / project / supervisor / team which is causing the hours and stress. If you don’t get the sense of which one is the root cause and/or there’s no viable path to change, then start to explore other options.

No, you can exit whenever you want. I existed after less than a year at Accenture. It was the best decision I’ve made in my entire life.

What kind of exit opportunities should I be looking for? Are there any major differences between exiting after 1 year vs 2 years?

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all. My final interview was with the CEO which lasted for about 10 minutes. He said he has read the notes from the previous interviews and the recruiter will get in touch with you. What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?

Hello everyone. I interviewed at Google last month and was rejected after the 2nd interview (non-tech role). I will definitely apply again after 6-12 months but since I didn’t make it to the on-site round, how likely are the chances that Google will reach out to me again in the near future?

I will also appreciate referrals at FAANG companies (non-tech business roles). My most recent role has been of an Executive (early professional stage). Thank you :)
