Hi! Interviewing with the HR at Strategy& for the financial services- senior associate position. Wanted to get a better understanding of the types of projects the team usually works on- I come from an internal consulting background in Fin Services so wanted to get a better understanding to highlight my most pertinent experience! Appreciate the help.

Interviewing with KPMG. Curious to understand what level a Senior Associate aligns to. Also, in general would you switch from Booz Allen to KPMG? I appreciate the work-life balance I currently have.

Current associate at BCG soon to make consultant. Have done well at the firm so far but have had limited opportunities in a particular practice area Im interested in due to geography and our firm’s presence in the space.

Target Comp for a Sr Associate-FE at PWC? 7+ progressive YOE: 4 industry FP&A, last 3 as an SC in Deloitte Services on project financials. Interviewing now and want to make sure I don’t leave money on the table if I get an offer. CLT/HTX/ATL

I’m interviewing for BCG in a couple months. I have almost 2 YOE at a boutique operations consulting firm and have promo’d twice to manager (🐠 title not updated yet). What level would I come into BCG at - would I have a chance at senior associate or is it more likely to be entry level undergrad role?

I’m interviewing for a Data Science Associate role at a mid size fin tech right now. Afraid to make the jump as I’m only a few months into first strategy job.

I interviewed for a Risk Assurance associate position at PwC a few weeks ago and they offered me the position with a Fall 2021 start date 🥰😍 I can’t even begin to explain how excited and happy I am. I worked so hard to get the offer into my dream firm. 🤲🏽🥺

I have an interview for a senior associate role at an investment firm. However, I believe I am under qualified based of my YOE (1.5) because they are asking for a minimum of 3. Should I mention I am open to an associate role, or try to sell myself for the senior role? Thanks for the help!

During the pandemic, I had an opportunity to reflect on myself and to think about my life. I realized I wasn’t happy doing real estate asset management.

I’m leaving the real estate world for good and relocating to New York City after living in Philadelphia most of my life. I look forward to the change in scenery and a career change as well.

Those who applied to BCG through referral recently - how long before getting a response on interview invitation or not? 2-3 days, 2 weeks? Experienced Hire, associate or consultant level.

If you're applying for other jobs and anticipate that recruiters will reach out to your employer for reference purposes, do you inform them before hand? If so, how? Context I am third yr associate and have only worked with 1 partner so far since graduating college.

Rant: I interviewed at a mid size firm for Senior Tax Associate role and went really well. Partner calls after a couple days to say they want to offer me a job and asked me if I wanted senior 1 or 2. I said senior 2 since I have a years experience as a senior and she was okay with it and discussed salary. She said she will think about the final offer and let me know. A week later she comes back to tell me that my small firm experience probably won’t help much and it would be difficult for me...
