When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.

First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?

Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.

Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:

(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid

(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

I’d like to move to IB, currently working in Management consulting (Boutique firm in Europe / Porsche consulting). 1 YOE, Engineering background with a master in management and finance, does the profile match better with a boutique bank to later try to apply to a larger one or should aim at the largest banks first and keep boutique firms as back-up? Any advice on the career switching?

How’s Visa in giving promotions? Is it fast like Mastercard? Seems slow to me but I am new so not sure

I'm looking to join VISA in a strategic director role, and have already applied. However I have two offers from other fintech's on the table. However VISA is my top choice, how do I expedite the interview process?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?

Hiring managers: How is the interview process like at your company and how much say do you have when it comes to choosing that candidate?

I had a behavioral interview with a manager from another team and a case study with the hiring manager. They both took notes as I gave my answers but the first manager was very disinterested from the get go and was distracted as he kept looking away from the screen.

I’m wondering how much influence the first manager has since I’m not sure what he’s writing
