This is sad. I’m probably considered an underachiever at Uncle D – I’m a 40+ SC that (I believe) is younger than my direct P and MD. I haven’t really gotten any negatives from my age from them (although Cs and SC on my project were aggro about finding out – figure this is normal), but this is the first place where it *seems* to be an issue. Only upside is I don’t look anywhere near my age.

Reading now makes me think I should put more emphasis on my exit strategy: put two and two together and believe I can’t make P. However, MD seems still achievable and that’s more than ok with me.

D1 making it up the consulting isn’t about age if you’re bringing in sales. At the end of the day that’s all that matters to these firms. Even if your delivery sucks but you’re closing deals, you can find people to deliver for you. Do t let stories like that deter you.

I literally -just- started my consulting career after transitioning out of academia, at age 40. I don’t feel like I’m at a great disadvantage to the “young ‘uns” and in several instances already have felt like I have a serious leg up. Glad the hiring process at my firm was able to see past my undergrad completion date, but I hope my age isn’t really the albatross some folks are making it out to be.

Feeling really frustrated and don’t know what to do. Interviewed early March, informed that I moved onto second rounds after ~2 weeks. Was told there would final rounds in late April but they never took place and haven’t scheduled it still.

I move states in July to start my job at D but I really want this MBB role. There’s roommates in my current and possible future state dependent on me to find out where I’m working as well. At this point I also feel very demotivated to study/prep.

MBB manager in conversations for head of strategic operations role at large corp. Interesting but not life changing, TC of ~350-400k. My biggest concern was clarity around potential progression / career path. In 2nd interview with COO of the company (~3Bn rev & ~7k FTE) they mentioned the aim is to transition me into their role or to COO of their largest BU in 2-3 years when they become CEO. This sounded far fetched to me / unlikely or like false / unrealistic promise? Any thoughts/advice?

My company was acquired last year & new terrritoy assignments were made Jan 1st. The old AEs had until the end of Jan to close out deals they were working to receive 100% commissions & quota relief. The new AE taking over received 50% comm if the deals closed in Jan. After Feb 1st, the new AE taking on the account received 100% comm and the old AE received nothing. The two deals I had worked for months and in procurement Feb 1 close last week at 445k & $399k. $60+k comm to new AE - $0 to me. 😩

Advice on FT Recruiting

Context, just wrapped up a PE summer analyst position at a MM PE firm. Great experience, training, deal work exposue, just not somwhere I saw myself full time.

They took a very small % of class for FT, and I did not receive an offer. I recruited FT for IB last year, so I am rekindling some of those connections + new ones. Does anyone here have experience / advice for FT IB recruiting? I understand it is an uphill battle, but possible.
