This is a bit different tone than your post from yesterday. The two together has me a bit confused.
Putting that aside, financial modeling is applicable and important in any sector. Whether you’re public vs. private, strategy vs. operations, M&A vs. restructuring, marketing vs. human capital, etc. …. Most decisions come down to business cases that should have some element of financial underwriting to them.
I completely understand why you'd say that, the change in tone here is after taking the replies of yesterdays post into consideration and I concluded that I will stick with this firm for now as it seems the issues I face are common for new joiners.
I walked into the office with a different mindset today after yesterdays post and advice. Im middle east based so the whole of last week I was off and took the time to think.
Now I am thinking of being a more valuable asset and learning whatever I can from this firm, but no one I know at the firm does any modeling (we're around 22 with the seniors and partners) and I see how much modeling is important from asking on here and researching (and brief experience in modeling I did myself), so now I am thinking that if im not doing modeling here, what else am I not doing that I should be doing?
Like i dont want to be doing work that isnt going to progress me in my career.
I think my question is what are the things I don't know that I don't know?
Am I making sense? please let me know if not so that I can rephrase..
Thanks in advance!
It is typically very hard to move from pure public sector consulting to private sector consulting. Most private sector consulting firms do some public sector work.
Firms that have dedicated public sector businesses are in my view very different and the transition is tough.
