McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

Wow sorry to hear that but sounds like this is not equal partnership and contribution in marriage.
I would be very transparent with him about the issues and inhibitions if I were you. And honestly double think his intentions for this “building equity” situation. It sucks now, but it would suck later more if things don’t work out and you lose on the equity/asset building phase.
Thanks, and I definitely forsee having that talk very soon...
And since we use the joint account for some of our shared expenses, we're spending mostly my money, not saving hardly anything jointly and he's putting his money into his own individual savings. I love my husband, but I also can't help but to feel incredibly frustrated with this situation. When I've tried to talk to him about it, the way he views it is that I shouldn't get so bent out of shape about it because I was already 'throwing away money every month when I was renting'. I honestly don't know where to go from here. It feels like it's a horrible time to buy with the current market, but it also pisses me off that in the long term my contributions are helping him to build equity that I know he has zero plans of sharing with me. Since we may be stuck in his home until the market improves, any ideas on what I can do under these circumstances??
I did this for a buying addict wife. Almost saved the marriage lol. But for real, it protected me when things fell apart for other reasons.
This does not sound like a partnership and I understand your frustration. Is he not contributing to the joint account? Where are your contributions for the future house going?
Wow that's really nuts. You need a serious conversation with him, it wounds like he is taking advantage of you.
Food for thought: I make a lot more money than my wife and therefore pay a greater portion of the expenses.
That's not our dynamic. He makes more than twice what I make.
That guy is not appreciating what you are contributing to your marriage. Make him realise that your contribution is evident and slowly try to divert excess contribution to individual account if you can. I meant slowly reduce your contribution and keep something saved for yourself.
He will realise once the size shrink.
I feel you both love each other and that's good and but also be smart to keep your own identity.
I ain't saying be greedy. You can try getting a session together to plan you goals and arrange your investment. Financial counselling will help you as a neutral entity will put both your aspects in front of each other.
Once the finances are sorted, there will be peace
