Thoughts on Project Finance Investment Banking? Is there a significant amount of risk being pigeonholed? Or can I at least use it as a stepping stone to move somewhere else

what is project finance investment banking?

No, but it's extremely quantitative. Think macro plugins vba etc.

As an fyi, Big4 PF isn't investment banking...

Are there analytics consulting firms still hiring that work on longer term projects (i.e. 3-6 months)? I'm working in deal analytics and while I actually like consulting, I'm tired of constantly working on diligence projects, having 0 WLB, or being able to think deeply about problems my client has. I don't mind traveling, but would appreciate a firm that has some flexibility on where my home base is.

Skills:

-Python

-SQL

-Excel

-Some PowerBI (visualization isn't my forte yet)

So so tired of always being the odd one out. My firm isn't even bad or anything I'm literally just exhausted from constant code-switching and never seeing a face like mine in the office unless they're a client. Seriously considering looking for somewhere with leadership that is significantly more diverse. I don't have any proof but I feel like my success will be firmly capped here and I'll never have a shot at making partner.

How do people network naturally? I’ve applied for numerous software engineering intern positions, but I have yet to move past applying.

Hey fellow attorneys! I am a second year attorney who has recently accepted a job within a firm that I am absolutely ecstatic about.

I am worried about being able to do solo cases individually and whether I know enough to be in charge of cases. Anyone else experienced this? Or have any advice? Thank you!
