Reached out to an MD in Barclays for a job and he got me an interview which wasn't exactly aligned with my education (was looking for an ib/wealth management role and got interviewed for a trader role)

Bain & Company Currently making 188k TC, but have wanted to enter consulting for years. Is it worth it to pivot to consulting at the SC level? Or should I just stay in industry?EY Deloitte PwC Bain & Company McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Oliver Wyman KPMG Kearney Alvarez & Marsal
PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

Depends how close you are with him. Are there openings for the roles you’re looking for? If not, he can’t do anything about that and already tried to help you, so I wouldn’t push on it personally.

Don't really know them personally. Sent out a cold mail and got a response.
Thanks for your advice.
That’s tough. Wish I had better advice. Not sure if you’ve tried this already, but either asking professors to put you in touch with former students in IB, or filtering people on LinkedIn to IB MDs from NU, could be good ways to find contacts with an immediate connection to you. Best of luck

Thanks
You could. Never hurts to ask IMO. Just explain the situation.
