Hi Fishes,
Can someone pls tell me the Associate & Senior Associate salary bands in PWC AC Management Consulting and how good the career progression scenario is?
TIA!

I got a job offer for what seems to be a great company but I’m not sure if I would have the same life balance. I started interviewing as a way to see my worth in the industry. My current role is at a small company, and I’m not sure how I could grow within the role because Im not advancing my skill, I just do the same thing every day at a lower level. I like my current role because it’s flexible and I’m paid well for not doing very much work. Should I switch to a more rigorous job?

Who’s a better paymaster - Deloitte or EY Consulting? Looking for YoY growth assuming business does equally well at both the firms. Thanks!! Looking fwd to your wisdom fellow 🐡

Been in public accounting for a year, and am not sure if this is the place for me. Everyone says to stay until at least senior but I doubt with my anxiety disorder I’ll be able to manage that. Am I setting myself up for failure in the long term by leaving in the next few months? Should I just stick it out?

Looking to network with other consultants (probably software or project/program management) in the area.
Where are the good places to look for networking opportunities?

I would love to move to Asia one day. Currently working in corporate finance in the US, I just started out of college. What would be the best ways to jump ship and find a job there? Which countries might be best for long-term consideration? How does working there differ (besides the hours and hierarchies)? For those who have done it before, was it worth it? At what point in your career would it be best to make a move like this (or not to make a move like this)? Thanks!

LINK will follow ETH path. People who missed growth in ETH, don’t miss out on Chainlink.

What are people’s thoughts/feelings on the out-of-office/auto-reply when an atty’s attention is focused on one matter (I.e. “I’m in a full day hearing, so my response will be delayed”). My initial reaction was: you’re not really out. You’re still doing your job, your job at the time just happens to be exclusively one case.

I have been offered supply chain advisory consultant role at IBM. Fixed CTC: 32.5 lakhs.
I have 4.5 years of experience and MBA from IIM Indore. Current CTC in an Indian MNC is 27.8 with 24.8 as fixed.
Should I take up offer from IBM as yearly increments and variable pay would be negligible?

Hi folks,

Takes on NIO? I think this could be the next TESLA. Chinese govt already bailed them out and is looking to support them more vs TESLA.

Right now valuation is 1/10th of TESLA - but we know China’s ability to ramp up. Even if they come close to 1/5th of TESLA they would represent a 5x potential.

How's the general WLB working in Singapore? I've heard a lot that it's the norm to work late and on weekends.

Hi,

I had my HR discussion in Cognizant and they've provided me the compensation details on telephonic conversation. But I haven't received any mail for documents submission. Can anyone tell me what's the exact procedure and how long it normally takes as my Notice period will be over within 3 weeks.

My position in sales, growing existing accounts with my company, is being eliminated in October. I either take a bit of a pay cut to do something really similar but more stable on the service side, or move to new business (which is not attractive to me), or I find something new. Is it fair they are having me interview just to basically keep my position after 7 years of doing it successfully meeting targets? Or is it time for me to look elsewhere?

Hi Folks,

I'm a DevOps Engineer (6 years of experience) with CCTC of 11 LPA.

How much could I expect if I do a switch as per the current market standards?

Thanks.

Salary check: How much are you making? List your YOE and firm.

Should I follow up with a recruiter who I talked to about a month ago? They said they will be scheduling virtual coffee with some individuals but haven’t heard back. Not necessarily interviews.

Why do I get an auto-decline from MBB? I usually get to the online/HireVue interviews for every other company (finance, consulting). I have a high GPA and a lot of research experience in popular fields (ML/DL). But for MBB I get a decline the next day. Is it because my undergrad is from abroad and non-target? Am I missing resume keywords?

Attempting to renter the workforce after a 2 year hiatus due to health issues followed by the pandemic. During this time off I had minor success running a small business, but not enough to pay the bills. I have 3 YOE, 1.5 as a Loan Officer, and 1.5 as a consultant within compliance and Fintech. Please let me know of any fully remote positions, or hybrid positions based out of Chicago or Milwaukee. I live in Dubuque IA, so for in office work it would have to be in Dubuque. TIA!

Recent corporate laterals / candidates - how long did it take between submitting applications and hearing back from firms? Been radio silence on all of my job apps for a while and it's starting to worry me.

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

Im a new analyst 1 and I got slammed today because I uploaded a document that wasn’t supposed to be uploaded to the VDR despite the fact that two associates signed off on the VDR. Am I in the wrong here for not getting the VDR right? I’m feeling down because of this but not sure if I’m being hard on myself or if the criticism is warranted.

Super stressed out since I just moved to the US in IB so I have to take the finra exams now.

How did everyone manage to work while studying for them? Most of this is completely new to me, and I'm struggling to juggle working 90+ hours a week.

Is it worth jumping from Lincoln to a EB/BB if my goal is to break into PE or even growth equity? I’ve been looking at LinkedIn and while exits exist they aren’t as ubiquitous as those from EB/BBs.

Best way of learning block chain technology and its applications in actual business cases happening now? I have been behind this. Want to catch up quickly.

For those who have worked in both IB and in Mgt Consulting, which one do you prefer and why?

Say I work in tech and have a decent finance experience. Would my 3 yoe of domain "expertise" in tech make me an attractive bet for the banks Tech coverage team? In other words, does having experience in Tech make me more hireable for IBD?

good luck to all the fishies having interviews and case studies🐠 you got this!

Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone! Cuz we all know post LDW, it’s going to be so robust like a MF!!!

Asking for a friend

Have a close buddy who is looking to pivot from med school into healthcare ibd or biotech/biopharm ER. Actively working on technicals and SIE prep and is looking to connect with others in the space.

Anyone willing to have a conversation?

Is it common for recruiters to ghost in the very last minute without even indulging in the very first phone call even after promising to meet in the assigned time? Has anyone came across such things?

Hi…Any idea about how the case study and excel session for investment banking analyst role is? I am interviewing at ComCap and needed some advice. Any tips and guidance will be highly appreciated.

I’ve been prepping hard for M&A technicals (reading R&P, biws400) for a move to an MM IB firm but got hit up to interview for a T2 consulting firm (LEK, EYP, OY).

My goal is to break into PE potentially but I’m not sure if it’s worth putting in effort for T2 consulting interviews because I believe exits from T2 are more limited compared to an MM IB like JEF. My question really boils down to how do exits from a T2 compare to that of a top MMIB? Appreciate any and all insights!

On a fast track for promotion, and also have a good standing/reputation already within my MM bank so far. I also have a complicated visa situation that my bank is handling.
Not closed off but not really set on PE or anything.
Is it still worth starting fresh and likely a delayed promo at an EB?

Any idea regarding IB in Dubai? Is it worth going there for associate roles?
Thanks!

I’m a financial advisor (Series 7 and 66) and I really wish I would have become an accountant or investment banker. I like advising, but it’s a grind to find people to make new clients to sell to in order to survive. Are there any exit strategies for a successful young 26 y/o advisor to move to investment banking or a salaried advisor job?
