Speaking to a PE recruiter tomorrow. Updated my resume, tweaked it to highlight my M&A experience. Any other tips, things to consider or questions I should think about from anyone who’s done the same?

Curious how this past year has been for everyone? Are account balances pulling your income down? Or has you book been growing? New clients? Are current clients implementing more because they realize they hand no idea what to do? Or is everyone still scared and sitting in cash and short term fixed income?

Celsius vs BlockFi now that BlockFi has all the cease and desist orders? Seems like celsius pays better AND now may be a safer bet? I like that BlockFi allows interest flex so i could get everything in eth or something and i have their CC, but otherwise they kinda suck. Bad rates and limited / expensive withdrawals.

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.

Hello Fish,

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience.

Do you know of any organizations or companies in need of volunteers? I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.

I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.
