Look to smaller firms/regional. My firm not even in top 30 or 40 hires associates and we work on clients big 4 in our region pursue as well (mainly middle market, just a wider range from lower to upper)

Depends on what you do at the start-up and what part of TAS you’re trying to get into. Definitely possible if you have a background that’s complimentary to what you’re looking to do. I’ve been in TAS at both B4 and RSM. Feel free to DM me if you want any further details (or a possible referral into RSM)!

DM if you are interested in MM TAS!

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

I find consulting very interesting (and it also pays well), but I think I'll like product management at big tech too (plus relatively better wlb).

TIA!

Hello,

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
