Slowly learning the ins and outs of the corporate culture at my new job. There’s a lot of chain of command that I’m not used to coming from Big Tech into Finance.

Yep, hierarchy is a big (useless) deal in financial services. I’m experiencing the opposite having recently transitioned from FS back into consulting, which is more akin to the tech corp structure. Just keep your head down, do your job, and let other people handle their own people when 💩 pops off 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Any industry like commercial real estate, finance and logistics (think ups) has a HUGE culture shift compared to consulting. I’m almost 2 years in and miss the consulting big tech world where what you know and are willing to do weighs more than who you know and how long you’ve been around. I wish someone would have told me 🥲🥹🤣
