Hi Fishes
In spite of having applied for many jobs at Citi (including the referrals), I have not got any calls from Citi.
I do not understand what's wrong with my profile ! I do get calls from other Captives but not from the Citi.
Are there any hacks to get calls from Citi ? Citi @citibank

As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?
McKinsey & Company I received an offer from McKinsey & Company in 2021 and I’ll be starting later this year after graduation. Obviously because of the pandemic, inflation is slowly trending upwards. Has anyone asked for a base salary increase before even starting the job? Any advice on how to approach this?

I am happy for you, but for a bowl directed towards helping students succeed, 99% of the time your resume should be one page.
You are battling against automated resume reviews that will cut people immediately for things like that.
I’m not a recruiter, and that may or may not be the case, but it would be cut as soon as it hit my desk and is a consistent detractor.
Congratulations! Love this for you! But here’s something to consider. There are times, many times in fact, where a candidate is hired in spite of their resume not because of their resume. I’m willing to bet you could have also gotten hired with 1-2 pages instead of 4.
And while you may love your 4 page resume, telling other people to do the same is giving them advice that may ultimately negatively impact them. So yes, you should absolutely know yourself and trust in yourself. But it’s also important to fully understand the risk involved. If someone knows that a 4 page resume is very likely to negatively impact their chances but still wants to do it, hey live your life! But one anecdotal experience where it ended up fine isn’t proof that it’s a good idea.
When you make an ill advised decision and then say trust yourself, it sounds like you’re saying it was a good decision.
If I said “People always say that going to an interview drunk is a bad idea, but I thought about it and I feel the most like my authentic self when I’m tipsy! So I had 2 glasses of wine before my interview and got the job! You just gotta know when to take the advice of other people and when to trust yourself!” it would sound like I was encouraging people to drink before their interviews.
congrats! your full name is visible btw
Thank you for the congrats! And I'm fine with that.
Congrats!
That's awesome - congrats! It's definitely important for people here to realize that feedback isn't always 100% accurate, and there's something to be said for intuition.
Wow that is amazing. I know many recruiters and managers who will not even look at a resume that is over one page. But you are right, you know you best. Congratulations on your offer. Sounds like a really great opportunity.
Thats awesome! Congratulations on your new job. It great to know when to ask for help but also what advice you should take and what you should leave at the waist side.
