Anyone currently in/ knows someone working as a Practice Consultant/Product Manager at Bain & Company ? Is it similar to knowledge expert roles at other MBB (ie less client exposure, more ‘supporting’ role etc)? Bonus if you transferred from a consulting role and if you can share how you’re enjoying (or not) it. TIA!

Does L1 blanket interview require client letter?

Sunday scaries...want to hear how everyone gets ready for the grind on Mondays, especially with meetings that start at 8:00 am. I hate taking away from family time Sunday nights. I’m struggling with WLB, especially with the “always on” culture and constant client asks/deadlines.

A potential local role that I haven’t been allocated to versus a role that would require travel to four different cities. Have a 3 year old and one year old and can’t be on bench that long. Thoughts

How would hours, pay, work environment, career potential change if I move from International Tax to M&A Tax? I am considering the move but want to make sure I actually know what I’m signing up for — I’m hoping for higher comp (10-15%?), less repetitive work and exposure to the M&A lifecycle (more big picture) and potential to lateralize to M&A/strategy consulting.

MBB 🐠: how significant is the risk of appearing to “spray” your resume to multiple opps? ID’d second internal position that’s also a good fit. Both of these are non-referral (ie, website applications)

Any fish familiar with Apple's OPD group? Thoughts on potential exit and expected base comp? MBA with 5 YOE, seems like it might be a step down from MBB Associate comp but tempted by tech exit and work life balance...

Hi all! Pleased to say I'll be starting at MBB in August. Anything you'd suggest doing between now and then as I have a lot of extra time and obviously can't travel. Thanks!

IBD to Strategic Finance in a tech firm; any possible plays? Any insight in to VCs vs PEs (in tech) and/or should I just sit tight till exit?

Hey 🐠, I’m trying to understand if I need to be looking for lateral exit opportunities from a compensation perspective. I’m a Manager in the M&A IT practice, 12 YOE (7 in Tech and 5 in Consulting). I am happy with the work I do and the people I work with are tolerable. New base salary is $178K starting this month. Asking because I’ve heard that people should keep jumping from one company to another in Consulting to have a competitive comp. Basically guys, is my compensation competitive?

Hey team need some help - I’ve flown United since I was a child, and naturally I’ve flown with them through and through my consulting career. I just flew on Delta for the first time and it was so much nicer than what I’ve been used to. What’s loyalty like here at Delta - and is it worth status matching and becoming Delta loyal? NYC based if that makes any difference. TIA!!

Any advice on which states 529 to choose? I live in Georgia but do most of my investments in vanguard, whose 529 is via Nevada. Seems like GA may have some addl tax benefits?

Is your organization planning to require employees be vaccinated? I understand why management wants this but concerned about losing good employees because they don’t believe in vaccination or are wanting to wait until more people have been vaccinated to see if there are issues with it. I’m also concerned with moral if we require this. Employees may get it to keep there job but hold on to some bitterness or develop anxiety over it. Am I being too soft or over analyzing?
