Question to the bankers on here. I currently have 3 years of experience at a T2 consulting firm (think Oliver Wyman, LEK, EY Parthenon, Strategy&) in the commercial due diligence team and 2 years of experience in a corporate development team (all pre-MBA) which is in the top 5 largest companies in my industry and is very active (don’t want to get specific because my identity will become obvious). Is it possible to lateral into Investment Banking without an MBA at the associate level?

I’m a financial advisor (Series 7 and 66) and I really wish I would have become an accountant or investment banker. I like advising, but it’s a grind to find people to make new clients to sell to in order to survive. Are there any exit strategies for a successful young 26 y/o advisor to move to investment banking or a salaried advisor job?

Any PwC manufacturing folks here (Reliability/Maintenance or Prod Development). Looking for referral and also some advise on level (Mgr v Sr Mgr).

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

Does anyone know any reliable career coach or consultant? I desperately want to streamline my career path. Experience: Freelance Professor: 3 Years (Multiple coaching classes in Mumbai) Home Tuitions: 2 years UPSC Preparation: 2 years (Gave several other exam attempts) SSB Conference out, 2019 Eventually ended up in corporate due to life situations (assumable) Currently Trainer & QA Lead with 5.4 LPA. Expected an L4 but it is still being delayed even after a strong doc to present.

Is it better to start off early career at a BDR/SDR role or a tech consulting role to eventually be a solutions engineer? Advice is appreciated!

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

I'm interested in applying for a Senior Program Manager role at Splunk. Does anyone have insights into that specific role there? Culture, balance, career path? Thanks!

Juniors... When will you figure out that some patience and team loyalty advances your career more quickly than chasing every shiny thing?

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.

Would you say being a partner is more demanding than being an industry exec?

Hey guys,

What are/were your goals in getting your MBA? Career change or moving up? Are you straight out of undergrad? Or have you been in the workforce for years and are now going back to school? Curious to hear about your experience.

At a M7 (or top 10), whatever floats your boat. Have successfully finished my qualifiers. I know my goal is industry and I’m starting dissertation proposal stuff now (will take around 1.5-2 years to complete), should I opt for a Master’s and start working now? Should I get the PhD? Let’s look at this from a strictly career perspective. My goal is to come back to consulting.

In 2015 different governments in the US collected $5,175,829,952,000 to service 321,230,000 people. That’s over $16,000 per person. Anyone else find this shocking?

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
