Thinking about accepting a software engineering offer for BCG Digital Ventures . can anyone working there tell me about the work culture, learning opportunities, and exit opps . Im also interviewing with Zillow and am deciding wether to wait or take an offer. I’m really intrigued by the idea of building ventures and learning alot on the technical and entrepreneurial sides, but the opportunity to work for a tech unicorn is also very intriguing

Ventures and BCG in general is awesome (London), but, why would you pass up a tech unicorn where you could get shares that may grow bigger than you ever think?

no software engineering , i have 2 yoe so its between an associate software role at bcg dv and a lvl2/3 role at zillow . My priority is building my tech skills and and getting a role at a pre-IPO tech company in 2/3 years. each bcg dv and zillow have their own pros and cons , but would take zillow if i had both offers in hand

If Zillow wasn’t public I might sway towards that offer. But I think bcg would be great experience.

Really depends on the office. Read the glass door reviews

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?

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Believe I’d be a great fit as an Associate in the same space at the major banks (RBC, TD, Scotia, CIBC etc) or in PE/ Asset management.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!

I recently transitioned from a small, boutique agency to a global agency — meaning I went from being on an account team of 2, to being on a team of 10+.

However, old habits die hard. I feel underutilized six months into the role. How can I adjust to finally having support and resources after years of abuse?
