With the way things are going, it's likely I'm going to face this situation in 3-4 months time. What would you do? Why? Job offer from Accenture/Deloitte (insert tier 2 consulting firm) in a country like UK/USA VS MBB offer in a country like India (country X comparable in terms of pay,...

If you work in banking - even as an intern - you obviously have access to everything in the IB share drive including the WGLs for all deals going on. Esp. for capital raising deals where there will be many banks working together. Less so or N.A. for M&A deals. Networking is how you lateral...

I guess this is kind of like the chicken or the egg argument, but I'm curious to see how people respond. From your personal experiences, have you chosen where you would like to live first, then go about finding a job in that area, or has it been more along the lines of taking the best offer...

Hi everyone, I just have a quick question for anyone who is familiar with GE CAS and the path to that program. I was wondering if FMP is the only way to potentially get selected into into CAS later on or if other groups within GE also have a shot at getting in. Right now, based on the degree...
