Currently an RX senior associate at A&M. Ive dealt with a fair amount of distressed pe firms and I'm pretty interested in the space. I think the skillset is much broader and opens me up to learning a lot of new skills. One thing Im curious about is how to make the move over to a invest role.

Ive toyed with the idea of doing a 2-3 year stint in RX IB at Houlian or a similar MM or EB but just am not sure if that's even needed. Anyone have some insight or suggestions they could offer? Im all ears

Hi Folks,
Anyone willing to share insights about AlixPartners in Milan? I couldn’t find much on internet. Basically I’m just trying to understand a bit more about the office culture, size of the teams and typical engagements, comp&benefits and career path. The position will be Vice President. Currently I work on a boutique firm in London and I’m trying to move to Milan without compromising too much my current position (SC) and comp.

I currently work at Fidelity Investments in the call center.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Hi All, I am a consultant at Deloitte going to Wharton this fall to get my MBA. I am interested in exploring PE (investment side) as a career but I know it’s really tough to break in without any pre MBA finance experience. If I were to do IB at a boutique bank (think PJT/Evercore) post MBA for a couple years, how realistic is it to break into PE Investment type roles at good funds ?

What are some good questions to ask after the MBA interview?

So I just started at a new company about 5 months ago. I’m already looking to leave. My boss should not be in the director of HR role she in, she does not have the experience for it. She was put into that role because the prior director left and she was the senior most person on the team. I’m also not connecting with anyone on my team. I don’t feel fulfilled or happy here. Should I be leaving so soon? I assume if I do apply to other places, my short tenure here will be a red flag. Thoughts?

I come from a culture where it is customary for the newly engaged lady to gift the fiancé a watch or something of a value comparable to the value of the ring (the burden traditionally fell on the lady’s family but now it would be the woman herself). Is this customary in the US too? Did you give/receive anything to/from your fiancé “in exchange” for the ring or after the proposal? If so what was it and did he/you appreciate it or expect it?

I’m trying to get into UI/UX. I went through a boot camp already and if there any more opportunities that someone in a similar field found helpful I’m down for it! I really need some experience and I am open for an Internship or Assistantship to break my way into a career.

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

I’m a BA at a top tier strategy consulting shop in London. I love the work I do but hate the hours. I am 5/6 months from promotion. Was wondering what strategy consulting exits look like in London.

Is there some comprehensive doc that maps MBB consulting levels to typical FAANG exits, types of groups etc? Or is this tribal knowledge?
