Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for? I don’t want to short out the company I work for but also love freelance and am more than capable of the work.

I'm looking for an entry level role in Investment Banking or Private Equity - in research &/or analysis.
Previous experience is as Service Manager in Wealth Management at an International Bank..

Trying to figure out if there are things I can do to make my resume better, but I’m not sure anymore. Would anyone here be willing to take a look?

general question, about how long after submitting an online application should one assume that they aren’t getting an interview?

My anxiety is through the roof I’ve never wanted a job so bad before that I’ve interviewed for. I had an excellent interview with my potential manager. She said out of all the applicants I stood out the most and she loved my resume/conversation , They are moving to meet the team on Wednesday. I just can’t stop thinking about and so worried they are interviewing a lot of people. Helpppp me calm down lol this is torture , honestly

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Currently SM at Bain (4 years post MBA) and was approached for a senior associate role in portfolio ops at a large PE fund. Been told 2.5 years to VP and another 2.5 years to director. Feels like the role is a bit junior but offers a 50% pay jump.

Thoughts on seniority? Also, any interview resources for PE portfolio roles?

Can anyone talk about the fixed income research role (Hours, daily tasks/projects, exits opps/career progression)? Is a Masters needed or can you start as analyst as opposed to associate? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Let’s start a comp discussion on post covid salaries and level - couldn’t find anything interesting on Reddit:
1) practice (audit/ advisory / tax)
2) firm
3) Level (Senior Associate II, Manager year 1 etc..)
4) salary (base & comp)
5) location ( NYC / Boston / SF)

What are some questions to ask/things to look for before the first time you’re jumping ship that helped you decide whether it was worth it (other than remoteness, salary, and benefits)?

any transaction advisory services in DC area?

Man PwC PEVC is poaching KPMG Strategy folks like crazy! Recruiters are swarming the DMs out here. Does this mean that the good natured roasting that KPMG Strat gets is just for jokes and in actuality we’re actually well respected professionals? I’m actually very impressed with the practice and everyone I’ve worked with and I feel as though clients really gravitate towards us as well given the positive numbers this year. Jw what our true reputation is out here on the streets is all

If I end up quitting after maternity leave, do I have to pay back any of my leave benefits? I guess I could ask HR, but wouldn't want to throw out any warnings.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
