Mainly trying to get some insight into:
1. Culture of the group (assuming this may differ my office, so I’d love to hear about the major hubs)
2. Starting pay out of MBA
3. Career projection trajectory (average timelines)
4. How Alix has dealt with WFH due to Covid and what you think will be the expectations on traveling to the client as we exit Covid
5. What technical / operational parts of the job you enjoy the most (not travel, lol)

1. Culture is mostly uniform across the firm, but some aspects are driven by the Practice you are in. Office/location has no influence on EI culture since we rarely go to the office 😊. One of the main reasons I like to work here.
2. Starting pay is competitive at MBB level
3. We have 4 levels for post-MBA hires and 2-3 years between promotions typically. No up-or-out model allows you to choose your progression pace
4. We truly value the health and safety of our employees very highly. We went full-remote as soon as the national lockdowns were imposed in March last year. Most of us are still working full remote. The future will be a hybrid model with travel required only when deemed necessary.
5. Lots of focus on analytics and very hands-on leadership

I hung out this weekend with a work friend of mine. We’re both junior, but I’ve been on FMLA due to an unexpected illness so have been away for a bit. I know that I screwed up on some files before I was diagnosed which I feel awful about and have been trying to rectify (unpaid), but she spent a lot of time cataloguing the ways in which I messed up. It was supposed to be a nice weekend for once and I’m feeling more beat down than ever 😕 just not sure how to get the motivation/nerve to go back!
