Out of curiosity, is consulting, esp MBB consulting not as coveted as they were several years ago? I keep seeing advanced technical (data science) skills required for many industry positions, even if the role is strategic. The traditional strategy/biz ops roles seem to become more and more selective, are typical exit paths from mbb consulting becoming more of a “red sea” situation?

I graduated last ye from undergrad and am currently in a data analyst role so Im wondering if I should pivot to general consulting or get an advanced masters degree in data science in terms of future outlooks

Eh, depends on what you want to do. I studied ML / data science in undergrad but would not do the job full time (and pivoted to consulting instead).

Still appear to be plenty of exit roles that don't require hard-core data knowledge.

I’ve found those to just signal comfort with numbers and experience beyond basic excel. With Alteryx, Tableau, & SQL experience I’ve been told I check the box for similar roles as I’m currently looking to exit. If they truly want advanced data skills then it’s a data analyst role and not strategy / biz ops

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Hi, new to this bowl.

Looking for a new role leading a PM and/or ops team. I'm an agency (media & creative) vet - depth in digital, crm, creative, tech, data, & process dev/deploy.

Have also worked ~4 years transforming / running ops at Kimbery-Clark's Digital COE and ~a year on web & digital projects at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Do IH agencies have substantial PM teams / need for leadsrship? I know many need operations & process enhancement.

Any specific roles on anyone's radar?

Thx!

I received a message on LinkedIn from an internal recruiter at a company that sounded intriguing. Would it be bad form to ask for more information about the role and about comp up front? I wasn’t looking to leave my firm until later next year at the earliest, but the company sounds really interesting. Don’t want to waste a lot of time if the comp isn’t right, though.
