Staying in the financial industry?

Thank you, just curious of the options available. I appreciate the gesture!

Depending on your company I've seen people move internally from finance to marketing, strategy, insights, sales. It's about networking and making sure your manager is a supporter of yours and willing to say "x wants to move to __" to help that happen.

Then once you make that move you can leave somewhere else.

Most people stay in finance though. Could always go back for MBA to make another pivot.

Is it possible to pivot to consulting?

I have not seen it done without a MBA. It seems unlikely imo. If you're set on doing consulting then that's your easiest path.

But ask yourself what do you want to do after consulting because it's typically not a forever career.

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

My younger brother has the opportunity to do Software Engineering at FAANG and consulting at MBB as a fresh grad. I told him to do SWE, but I’m afraid I’m giving him biased advise cause I’m jaded in this industry. If you were me, what would you advise him?

Landed a contract role at Deloitte via MBO Partners for an audit senior role. MBO is making me a W-2 employee for MBO, but I am getting paid $125/hour plus overtime. Am I missing something here or am I about to be making $5K/week (or more with OT)? Anyone have any experience with MBO or doing contract work like this? Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.
