I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Upcoming Data Analyst Interview with Healthcare startup company - Clarify Health Solutions. There are 6+ rounds and I’ve only made it through one. Super anxious as I’ve seen online that they tend to ghost throughout the process and it’s hard to get an offer. Can anyone provide any tips or pointers?

(1) those roles will drain you mentally, physically, etc
(2) very few make it to MD+ in IB, even less make it to HF/PE at all (those shops like to see HYP undergrad with H/S MBA, and pre-Bschool PE experience as well as IB. Even fewer make it to VP in PE/HF and get carry (where the real $$ is). Be prepared to have your soul drained out of your ass as well.
(3) VC is a different beast - you’ll need successful startup founder experience, and a fat investment check to reach the investment teams in VC, and you’ll have to negotiate carry. VC is also kind of cooling off right now.
Exact same boat. It looks fun! But not that fun. Lol
I’ve been an analyst in IBD, a consultant at MBB, and am now at FAANG. I can anecdotally report that far more of my colleagues make $1MM pa in FAANG with much better WLB than in the other two industries.
Edit: the washout rate in IBD and MBB was nuts - and more concernedly, the attrition was intentional and designed for. Read “Managing the Professional Services Firm” and Google the “Cravath model”.
Edit 2: Re: MBA. I never did an MBA. The opportunity cost is way too high now. I’d be recruiting for jobs where I’d be taking a 30-40%+ paycut and working twice the hours. Just doesn’t make sense.
What do you think you’d be missing out on?
I understand lifestyle differences, and variables involved of entry and trajectory, but keeping all that aside, strictly asking from $ perspective of the average trajectory of a high performer in these industries.
