Kpmg 🐟 fam: Has anyone heard back on promotion to manager yet?

Hi All, what’s your perspective on the CFP? I’m looking to enter into Private Banking and I think it would help.

Also, for those who recently took the CFP. What material did you use to study?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.

Opinions regarding the transition from a legal non-profit to a private law firm?

Assuming that I'm okay with a salary of 70K and more, and that I really don't want to work at a law firm. Is it going to be difficult for me to return to law with two years of experience and one year working in a legal adjacent role.

I have just got an options trader job at a prop trading firm. But I knew nothing about options/trading/finance. The firms said they’ll be officially training us once we start. But in the meantime, what are some books/resources that you would recommend to start learning first?

As a (class of 2020) second year whose several classmates from different groups are already thinking about leaving/going to other firms, should I explore other options too? Don’t know if they’re being dramatic about how bad it is or if I’m just drinking the koolaid in my group?

I’ll be promoted next year to senior but I’m in a niche role where I don’t see myself long term. Should I make a job switch now or should I wait to get promoted to senior? I currently have 1.5 years of experience.

What's the pay for a SC in Advisory after promotion? Just got the call :)

Worth leaving PE ops for Mck? Background: at a MM fund doing pe ops after 3 years at a t2, recently was hit up by a Mck recruiter for their post MBA role with a path to EM in 12 months. Am I crazy for even considering this?

What do you wish you had known before becoming a manager?

Hi Sharks,
Got promotion from staff to senior with LEAD Category as strategic impact what hike and bonus to expect??

What will be the repercussions if I leave EY GDS and take break for few months and then start looking for jobs. 5 YOE. Planning to try for product based.

After a few years in ops consulting I think I’ve realised I want to try my hand at being a dev or working in software delivery. Any way I can swing this staying with Deloitte or will I need to fork out for a boot camp and start from the bottom? Any helpers appreciated!

A question for VCs: I’m currently a VC analyst. I want to eventually come back to the VC industry and perhaps become a partner (if possible). However, there’s an opportunity to work at an Endowment Fund (Harvard/Yale/Stanford level). Would you recommend me to spend the next 3-4 years doing something that’s not directly VC related? Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!

I’ve been running into weird happenings at my new firm learn of everything “I misunderstood” about my package. I don’t actually qualify for quarterly bonuses at a pro-rated billing rate; no 401ks till year 2; and the biggest—we don’t qualify for a raise unless we are here during the entire fiscal year. We have a 2100 billable req which I’m barely hitting. We also get paid below 6 figures. I learned that the new associates came is at least $10k over us. I graduated 2020–but 1st firm job. Advice?

Looking to possibly boomerang back to public somewhere between senior and manager level in the Boston area, likely in the real estate industry. Either advisory or audit. Any interesting opportunities?

I'm trying to break into consulting after ~13 YOE in healthcare tech (payer and provider). My biggest hurdle is that I live in a random Midwest city and am unable to move due to having school-aged kids. What firms have a health tech focus area and allow remote hires?

Rooney... can't believe I woke up at 7 am, hungover as hell, to watch that crap.

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

All this talk about quitting your day job, gaining freedom, start ups, etc. Does anyone actually know someone who quit consulting and was able to make it on their own?
