Capgemini I joined sometime back at D1 level , I do technical work most of time like coding, dev,testing etc.
I have worked a lot in my 14 years and still have required skills needed for the work. I don't have energy to slog any further. Moreover I get anxiety when I see junior level people doing same work as me and earning more or same.
I feel cannot sit longer hrs due to back issues and other health issues and family commitments.
Can I change to management side without risking my job .

Otherwise, it's not very likely they would even bat an eye at a candidate with an audit background.
Any idea what she does? 9-5 doesn't sound like your typical ibanking job.
Be prepared to work 80 hour weeks year round. Be prepared to work 7 days a week and have zero life outside of work. If you're prepared for that then I suggest trying to find someone you know working in the industry. You'll almost certainly need an inside referral.
Go get a top 5 MBA and spend a majority of your free time networking with those in the industry.
Atleast you'll be making cheddar
^what was their experience as an Ibanker? Hours, type of work, etc...? Do they enjoy it?
Do you really need a Top5? I always thought a Top 20 was sufficient?
My friend was fired from Halliburton, went to a 1 year MBA program, and got a six figure offer from Vanguard. So it's possible...
Get in to TS (preferably FDD), kill the gmat, get in to a Top 15 MBA and there you go
She started this fall, hates the job but she's good at it. 9-5, don't know about clients but she keeps telling me to get my MBA and join her.
She's in equities. Whatever that means.
