My goal is to develop a true strategy consulting skillset and get "certified" by working at MBB. Currently at Deloitte (not in strategy).

Where there's a will, there's a way, so asking for advice from people who have actually made this happen. How did you do it? Hardcore solo research? Tapping into contacts for resume reviews? Working with a coach? Please share whatever resources you found helpful. Also, would love to hear the pros/cons of your recommendation vs. other approaches. Thank you!

CAIA vs CFA?

Thought on coaching as a viable side gig? Who has done it?

For anyone who took the CISA exam (I passed lol), how many days did it take to get your “official score”? I know it says 10 days but wanted to ask if anyone got it sooner

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law

I am not in law school yet. But I was wondering where I can find out about other opportunities besides the standard tax attorney route. I am almost a CPA and currently in audit.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

What kind of roles do you guys recommend for a pharmacist trying to pivot into pharma? Where can you go to see all the different types of roles available?

Partners: Hey HR, we are short of resources and looking to hire a self starter candidate, with good analytical mindset, and should be a hardworker and should not hesitate to work long hours. Also forgot to mention, we are totally short of budget. But since the projects are high demanding, we need someone to get going.

After 2 weeks...
HR: Happy to welcome, xxxx to the team. xxxx has joined the team as an Analyst

Wondering everyone’s take on password-protecting your UX portfolios? I have some case studies from a previous B2B startup I worked at. Although the work isn’t under an NDA, I’m wondering if it’d appear more professional if there were a password. Alternatively, any advice on how much detail to show on a case study in situations like this?

Thinking of trying Southwest. Thoughts?

Are any top consulting firms hiring for experienced analysts currently? I know ACN and some others are cyclical for resources 2-3 years out of college, but I’m looking to make a move sooner than fall

Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

I’m trying to get an internship next summer (I have the time off work) but am having difficulty finding internships for non-MBA master’s degree candidates. (I have a clinical MA and doctorate & it’s been an auto-reject from analyst internships.)

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?

Are firms willing to negotiate the role with campus hires? I received an offer for a big 4 in risk, which I signed early in September, but just now received another offer in TAS from a different firm. While I much prefer the big 4 firm, I do not want to work in risk anymore. Would a big 4 be willing to change groups? Have you heard of anyone able to do this? I feel kind of bad, but I truly despise the idea of working in risk now. ( My friend who's in the role right now hates it)

I want to apply to other firms that might be offering more $$. Is this something that is looked down upon? Don’t want a former employee to report back that I’m looking for options. Advice?

Which consulting firm has the best 401k match?
