Whether you’re meeting a college colleague for a far overdue dinner or dining with a client (socially distanced, of course), you want to be thinking about ways to advance your career or better your business. Here are some topics that are appropriate to speak up on and that may get you some better insight.
Emerging Trends + Best Practices. (Eg. How’s business been amidst COVID-19?)
It’s true that many industries and businesses have been struggling during the pandemic, due to consumers’ …
By nature, people are social. This integral quality of humanity has led to amazing ideas, incredible innovation, and has created the collaborative world we live in today. Students (and workers) of this day and age are able to, due to the advancements of technology, communicate with each other from miles and miles away. While Zoom does definitely tire and fatigue students, we have to admit that it’s incredible (and that these advancements were available right in time)!
Communication is, as …
All consulting work is objective-driven in some form or another. Consultants are driven to transform their clients' business models: to identify core challenges and opportunities, recommend a strategy for optimization, and often to implement that strategy to create sustainable change.

What is a time that you’ve demonstrated leadership as part of a team?
To you, what is the most important thing to …
Last week, we released our latest Vault Banking 50, a ranking of the best investment banks to work for. Our rankings are based on a survey of 2,800 banking professionals, who were asked to rate firms other than their own in terms of prestige and to rate their own firm in various workplace categories, including culture, hours, training, compensation, and more.
In addition, we asked survey respondents to tell us about the quality of life, career development, diversity practices, pay …

Those international students graduating this spring are likely to face unimaginable job search challenges in the coming weeks. But that doesn't mean their job search prospects are dead. Here's a list …
