Q&A: Jaded analyst about to hit 1 year. I promise I won't be like the recruiters who sold me on one thing and delivered another.
Hi WSO - I've used this forum in the past and found it useful, so here's my chance to give back. I'm about to hit one year at Accenture, and it's been grueling and testing work environment. I got roped into a project that barely aligned to what my interests were (big surprise there), and have...

Depressed in Ops
Hello Fellow Monkeys, I am 3 years out of college stuck in an ops role at a small RIA in the bay area. The job pays well and I feel like is generally secure. However, I am upset because I feel like I am on a dead end career path. Seriously, the longer I stay in Ops the more it feels like I'm...
Attempt transfer to UCLA or Cal for MBB?
Hi! So I am a high school senior that is going to UCSB as an Econ major. However, I know that UCSB is not the best college for MBB recruiting (there's like a tiny bit, I hear).

What are BCG's best practice areas or teams in the New York office?

I'm defining "best", as working with the best clients in the sector, selling at the highest price point, providing the most real and tangible value to the client company, and providing the members of the team...

Thus, I am thinking about broaden my finance experience and apply to another SA in a different business area to explore...
