Is there anyone here that made a move to strategic finance or something similar in industry? I’m actively looking to move into it and would love any insights into getting a role.

I’ve sometimes got interviews but I’ve fallen flat or feel like I can’t communicate what I’ve done in IB; I frankly feel like a pure data monkey and feel lost with what I did. Any insights would be helpful here

Safest wallets / exchanges for buying VET and safe moon? 😭

Question for yall. How likely is an offer once a company decides to do a reference check? I know I am in the final 2, from context clues in interviews. I just dont want to get my hopes up.

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

Working for MBB was my dream throughout undergrad. I just signed an offer for a role I am excited about at FAANG, but I can’t help but feel twinges of jealousy for people who are getting into MBB with the recent increase in experienced hiring. Please help me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Have you ever yelled at your coworker in public?

Does anyone deal with constant disrespect in the workplace due to their age ? It’s crazy how secretaries are placed on a pedestal here because they are older and I guess have been here longer? But it’s becoming so draining. Beyond the petty things, I requested off for an event months ago and am now being told I may need to come in because the secretary requested off too( even though I told her about the day off months ago. For background there is an alleged rule that we cannot both be off)

How do you deal with making mistakes at work? I’ve been doing good work lately but there’s one partner who thinks I’m mistake prone and I just made a mistake on something he asked me to do, but I corrected it quickly. However, there is public record of my mistake.

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

F fishes, which one do you prefer Ariat or Lucchese?

Do you send gifts when a outside recruiter places you? If so, what kind? Thanks.

The longer I do this job, the more I want to accept a tech job... no travel, same / better pay, no annoying clients...

Is it worth joining Accenture Strategy as a Consultant (L9) with 6 YoE? How is the quality of projects ? What is work life balance like? How about base salary, bonus, perks?

What’s the work-life balance at Strategy& and EY-Parthenon in the London offices? At the moment I’m averaging around 50-55 hours at my boutique - higher or lower?

Moving to London next year! In my mid twenties and wondering what’s a good location to rent central London? Safe neighbourhood as I’ve heard of quite a few stabbing incidents 😭😭

Anybody looking to hire graduates for a GPS Consulting role? I'd love a referral.

Three members on the team left and the remaining 6 have been told to increase their workload to compensate. The firm will keep their bonus but will share their workload with the existing employees. How can you justify this? Lol. What happens to the unpaid bonus? Rollover to next year?

Pretty sure work is giving me a bedsore...

To the clients scheduling meetings over the inauguration: get over yourself.

Are coverage group hours better than m&a at your bank? From a lifestyle standpoint

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Quick background - former MM banker (think Raymond James, Piper Sandler size) doing FinTech and Asset Management within FIG, but also open to other sectors.

Thanks!

Nyc based. Is it at all possible to make at least 200 base in corp dev or strategy at a tech company? Super burned out but don’t want to take a paycut in base. I realize I’ll never make all in comp the same in tech but if I can match base I’d be content.

What are realistic expectations for 3rd Year Analyst / Direct Promote Associate bonus range at a BB? Note that at MS, 2nd year bonuses in my group last year were 90-115K, while MBA associates received a pro-rated 90K stub (~40k). Personally would be pretty unhappy to take a pay cut between 2nd and 3rd year…

does anyone have experience exiting after 1 year? any vengeful MD stories? my MD knows a lot of people and i’m scared if i interview or exit to one of these places that he has a connection at he might try to mess with my career...
