Just did an interview with a startup. Interviewers seem inexperienced and equally clueless about the industry as I do. I don't think there will be much to learn from them in terms of knowledge, but the role does offer the platform to strategise, experiment, see impact (all of which are missing from strat consulting). Is this worth a switch?

What’s the operating model like in your SE role? Are you tied to an account, account exec, region, etc?

I am a project manager with the strong desire to transition into product management but I’m feeling a little discouraged. Every opportunity I come across mentions 7-10 years experience.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a senior in undergrad and didn’t get any consulting offers during the fall recruiting cycle. Do any of you have advice for entering consulting post-grad, or do you know if any firms still recruit in the spring?

(Additional context: I have a back office offer at a good firm, but I really wanted to explore consulting for a more diverse skill set. Would it be difficult to transition to consulting after working here for a year or two? Would I be considered an experienced hire?)

MBB South East Asia - What Consultant level offer to choose from (pros and cons by criteria please) - BCG KL Office and Bain BKK (or KL)?

Criterias I can think of - WLB, Money, Prestige/Exit, Office transfer (2 yrs later), faster path to Equity Partner, Projects (Quality Work/Impact), People (rather subjective one)

Please feel free to add more nuance than what I mentioned, thanks in advance!

I can’t help but feel stuck in my career. I’m a licensed attorney in another country, but been working as a law clerk in a firm for about a year now. I was hoping to take the NY bar in February but the foreign law graduate restrictions won’t allow. Now, I have to wait till July! I can’t help but feel this way, and as much as I love my company, I’m beginning to dislike the role. Maybe it’s an ‘ego’ thing? Anyone ever been in this position? How did you get over it?

This is really random but does anyone else have a dog that is always moving their bed around and throwing pillows off of furniture? Before I started wfh, I used to always think my dog couldn’t really be dragging her bed across the room, but now I catch her doing it when she thinks I’m not looking.

Looking to find out what top litigation paralegals in personal injury in CT/MA are making? I handle our bigger and critical cases and work with the partner who manages the litigation department. I love my job, just lately wondering if I am underpaid at 65k base. I have ten years of experience. Bonuses are not too significant and they are given to all paralegals/team if we meet goals. Thank you.

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?

About to accept an offer at a small private company. Lower base than I make now, but have been told there’s no cap on variable. They’ve told me that the goal is to pay me more (total comp) than I make now, but there are no KPIs or target bonus explicitly in the offer. Haven’t been at a small company like this so would appreciate some insight!
