Pretty bad decision to come to this firm. None of the laterals I know are having a good time here. The form is abysmal in integrating and leveraging the laterals

I’m thinking about jumping back to a borrower side practice, but curious to hear about other CRE associate experiences. Thanks!

If anyone knows of places I could apply? I'm not trying to reinvent myself as I do artwork on the side and would rather grow that business and get out of the chaos of fortune 500.

Hey all!
I’m wondering if anyone is interested to consider / explore making a referral. I’m an associate (project manager) at Oliver Wyman in London on our private capital team (leading DDs). Previously worked at a PE fund and for a long time as a development economist in sub Saharan Africa. Degrees from UChicago and LBS. Based in London.

I mainly want to impress that I am not going to embarrass you as a referral.

About to begin the recruitment process for BCG and am coming in from EY where I’m currently a manager. I have pretty good work life balance: 8 am to 7 pm and on fridays, I can sign off at 3 pm. People are great at EY but I know the work could be more interesting at BCG and also greater pay. Currently making $150k. Should I just stay put? What are the big draws of moving to BCG? I hear it’s crazy hours too…
