Trading firms (both prop and hedge funds) are the only industry that attracts more hyper-competitive personalities than consulting. Its great, enjoy the ride.

@SM1 About 2 years out of an engineering degree with strong tech skills that I've continued building on the side, currently in Deloitte's SAP practice (ergo why I'm looking for exits). I've been doing mostly assessment and strategic ERP work thus far, haven't gotten stuck on any multi-year projects or forced to have my head down in config or anything like that yet fortunately.

I think you mean in STEM. Otherwise j could find plenty of careers filled with hyper competitive people, more so than any consulting or IB firm

Prepare for a tech phone screen with the hiring manager and then being grilled for 4 hours by the whole team in 30 minute intervals.
