Please consider this, do not bump your post after 4 hours on a Friday night. People use this site during work hours, so you're going to have to wait it out till the weekend before you get some good advice..I think you'll be fine consider you'll have some decks to make or something.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

bfin consider you'll have some decks to make or something.

yea stuck at work so bored out of my mind...thanks though and what you mean by above ?

I meant considering* I take you're a management consultant

What are you looking to do? It seems like right now you're desperate to get out of your current job, which is understandable as lots of folks have felt that way. Do you want to stay in finance - banking, PE, etc? Or do you want to leave it entirely for something else (and if so, what is that "something else?).
