A homie referred me to BCG and I filled out the referral app. How long will recruiting take to decide if they want to interview or naw? Homie is new-ish at BCG so she doesn’t know first hand.

Someone I referred didn't hear back until a month later that BCG wanted to interview him. He'd already taken another job 😬

Will having 2 referrals help? Or we are at the mercy of recruiting? Thank you folks for your inputs

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary. I have experience in Management both restaurant, healthcare, and I suppose this particular position counts too I just don’t know how to specify it. I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
