Timing is what you are missing.

Outside of that, what is your 5 YOE in? And your time at MBB, do you work with tech clients?

A lot of timing here — small usually unprofitable space cuts hiring quick in this environment. Probably a lot of applicants. Some job postings likely not real.

Don’t cold apply — network and get yourself a referral. Best if b-school or MCK alumni.

Any recommendations for a second year post MBA investment banking associate looking to leave banking? Have done healthcare coverage and like healthcare but banking work life is just not sustainable. Appreciate any input.

CCTC: 17
YOE: 8.3

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
