I interviewed with the internal consulting group of a large bank for a Director role. They came back and offered SVP, $225k with 20% bonus. Im a newly minted SM, whose base is $185k and bonus around 18-20% and my ratings are/have always been top end. Lots of “brand” recognition by the partners and throughout the practice, so nobody busts my balls. However my practice is highly specialized and this would give me an opportunity to work more strategically but im starting all over again. Stay or Go?

I was Interviewing with McKinsey (BA) and didn’t make it past the Case Interview. I’m a little disappointed, but not necessarily shocked. I did make 2 mistakes during the Case Interview - giving revenue instead of net income (was quickly corrected) and not initially saying incentivize workers to increase sales of items (did have other reasons). My question is, how are mistakes judged during a case interview? Are these mistakes usually detrimental? Could I have walked through my process more?

I had 3 interviews at Deloitte Consulting (1 case study) and they then “offered me a job” but would not give me a salary expectation or start date. They just said (for about 3 weeks), we will get back to you. After each week, I would ask for an update, but they never had one. Luckily, I had another offer and accepted that. Anyone else have a similar experience with them? To this day (about 3 months since), they have never contacted me again, weirdest “recruitment” of my life!
