I think our business model is pretty business-cycle-agnostic. I couldn’t say the same for every buy-side firm, but our mix of every kind of investment style, plus technology and advisory services we sell to companies, gives us ways to earn revenue in many different macroeconomic environments.

Microsoft is likely one of if not the safest bet in big tech. But be careful with earlier stage startups or some of the high flying tech companies of the 2010’s

M&C1 what about for those at non target schools? Is MBB the only safe firm category? Or are there others?

Any large firm is fine. More specifically those that didn't lay people off in the last 2 years.

Healthcare (@ J&J now)

I think being in tech is pretty dangerous now so I would stay away from those companies. I think anything in consulting is a safe bet

I think I am about to be going through a divorce. My husband and I have been "in the thick of it" for almost a year and the last couple weeks have shown me that things are not getting better. I think I'm at the end of my rope. I was having concerns 3 yrs ago, but really was able to confront issues this year. We've been married for 6 years, together 9, and have a 2 year old. I'm 30 years old. My family isn't super supportive. I'm nervous, scared, worried, all the things.

I recently started a new sales position, and I know I’m making a lower commission rate than my male counterparts. Could be that I’m new, and they decided to lower it and not because I’m a female. My direct manager is trying to adjust it because we were both told 1% and when my commission started I was at .8%. Any advice would help, I never signed anything that had a commission rate on it. But I’m pretty sure our base as a company has always been 1%.
