Should I renege MBB for SWE? Starting very soon in MBB US at undergrad level (cs major and never interned in mbb, only swe). Have an offer to go back to the tech company I interned at. Starting Pay is 100k higher than mbb. My biggest concern is seeing the negativity around mbb on this forum, plus swe is very different from a year ago when I signed the offers and tech/ai seems to be booming more than ever before. Want to make sure I’m not screwing up my life and wasting my cs background. Thanks

Hello all - Ive been working in IT Support in for the last 2-3 years in Aus working towards a Cyber Security role. However over the past 3-6 months I have lost interest in the pathway. I’ve been thinking about switching to a software engineering or devops pathway and I have a few questions: What education will I need to switch from an IT ops role to software? What resources can help me with this possible pivot? What cons should I be aware of regarding a Software Engineer and Dev Ops role?

applied for a job at one of the OSCE field missions in Sep 2025, completed a written assignment in Oct and an interview in Nov. In Dec they asked for updated references and only one month later (beginning of Jan 2026) did the HR acknowledge receipt of their feedback. It is end of Jan and i still have no clue about the status of my application and the HR is ghosting me. My references were very positive and the status of the job listing is still active on their portal

Looking for advice for breaking into PE operating/ops roles from the MBB EM level. Mainly looking to make the transition for comp and hoping some funds have as reasonable improvement in lifestyle relative. In particular, would love some thoughts on: 1) is the best path towards finding job opps through head hunters? 2) what is the lifestyle and culture like? What have your hours been like? What are your primary stressors?

Currently have to choose between a full-time offer from Simon-Kucher and Accenture Strategy. Comp is quite a bit higher at SK, but honestly, I care more about exit opps and long-term. I'm looking to lateral into MBB and/or corporate strategy. Also considering an MBA in the future. Which would you recommend? (Is Accenture a better brand name? What are the projects like in the strategy arm currently?)

I’m working on a few IT certifications that will help me get into cybersecurity. In the meantime, I’ve been trying to find jobs in IT help desk to start off but I’m getting nowhere. I’m not sure if I’m not looking in the right places or if the jobs that I’m applying for actually exist. I could really use some recommendations on what to do or where to look. I can’t go another month without a job.

Now looking to transition into cybersecurity—open to SOC, security analyst, or cyber ops roles. Quick learner, adaptable, and ready to add value from day one. Let’s connect!
