Be ready to go deep or anything on your resume (in particular the topics you bring up yourself). By deep I mean 1) second and third order questions about what you did and what the outcomes were and 2) to talk about the business problem at hand from a CEO-like perspective.

It's not a trap -- it's just talking about your experience, and being able to talk intelligently about it is just what you ought to be able to do anyway. Good luck!

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies.

They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
