McKinsey & Company Any recommendations on great Case Coaches/preparation strategies about a week out from McKinsey & Company case assessment and need some work. Currently in consulting but never had a case interview.

So this job search thing is a lot harder than I thought. You either never hear back, or just get pre-written denial emails. What does it take to get on a call to defend your case?!

I applied for a role at Amazon bit the status has not changed from Under Consideration since May, should I wait longer or consider it closed?
They have not contacted me for any rounds yet.

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

I am interviewing at a Production Studio and it’s going well. The majority of my experience is agency side. They mentioned base salary with commission, as they want to see growth in the next 3-5 years. There has been no talk of salary yet. What does a base salary for an EP with commission usually look like in this role? What should I be asking for? I don’t want to give up my current salary, but I think this job would be such a great fit for me. Advice?

Guys I am from Texas, USA. The last time I appeared for an interview was 10-11 years ago. I work in Java and related tech. I am also AWS certified (architect associate) but don't have much experience with it. I create small stuff on AWS for my personal learning. I am looking to switch jobs in the next 6 months so I want to use this time to prepare but not sure where to start? Any guidance on what to prepare etc? Like What skills are must have,
What skills are good to have, etc

Any tips on how to ace this presentation?

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

I just drunkenly admitted that I don't mind being a diversity hire.

What brands do Pride right? Any favorite campaigns come to mind? Or on the flip side, any campaigns you dislike for being tone-deaf or performative?

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?

Overheard: “We’re paid a ton to crush it at work, get wasted, wake up, work out, and crush work again, but while hungover. We’re basically like pro athletes”

Presidential debates start next year?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Anyone in Chicago care to have a drink tonight (Thursday) night near west loop/river north? Realize it’s fly day but would prefer to meet locals anyway. 🌅 🍷 🌃

Graduating senior. Have choices between MBB and SWE at FAANG. Not sure what to do. Long term I’d love to be in a small startup or a leader in a tech company. Not sure which path is better for that. Any thoughts?

FWIW BCG London are still aggressively hiring for those looking to make a move over here, or switch firms in London

Generalist Senior Associate and Consultant roles and also sector specific specialist roles in Ops, Digital and PE. Feel free to DM if helpful to chat

So what’s the new McK comp breakdown?

I work in Monitor Deloitte now. How different is it from MBB?

Is it just me or was the logical reasoning on Bain’s SOVA test for the London office extremely hard? Does anyone know if it’s a big part of the interview process (compared to the Resume / CL)?

When is a good time to apply for a Q2 2023 start?

I have passed the screening for BCG and McK, and will perform Casey and Imbellus respectively this weekend. Applied with 8 YOE in petrochemical industry. My question is about case interview preparation, I have been mainly practicing candidate-led style so far and don't have much info about interviewer-led approach that McK utilizes. Considering short time-frame to prepare, which strategy should I follow? Are these styles very different?

Worth leaving PE ops for Mck? Background: at a MM fund doing pe ops after 3 years at a t2, recently was hit up by a Mck recruiter for their post MBA role with a path to EM in 12 months. Am I crazy for even considering this?

Applied to Bain as an experienced hire through a referral on 10/4. No word back yet - heard that 10/10 was some sort of deadline. Any thoughts on the timeline?

Anyone willing to have a chat for Mck/Bain

currently at T2 7YOE based in 🇬🇧

If the candidate doesnt finish the case on time during interview, is it a automatic rejection?

Fellow MBBers, any of you think the banking raises will trickle over to us (110k starting) or nah?

Bain 🐠, have experienced hire interview coming up with view of coming into PE group. What types of cases should I concentrate on? Valuation? Profitability? Market sizing? Coming in as 2nd year Consultant

Can someone help with a referral in Bain for SA opening

What is fastest way to improve both structured communication and thinking? Any helpful books or drills?
It’s the one consistent feedback I get while casing , “to be more structured” I’m there for math ability , business logic , creativity.

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That is all.
