Anyone know how consulting was for MIT and Cornell this past cycle? Heard it sucked a** for Stern but wanting to see if that was unique to the school or the larger economy

VP1 that was mainly for Bain, McK/BCG filled most spots with the normal recruiting

MIT - Out of my circle (biased and anecdotal Ik ik), I only saw 2 people not get MBB who I thought had a good shot - relative to maybe 20 who did. And those 2 got T2 offers instead

There were a handful of people who barely had a shot imho, and yeah, they didn’t even get interviews

I mean I think making enemies anywhere is possible, but I wouldn’t worry unless you’re extremely self-unaware

One person with enemies got very aggressive feeling up multiple people at parties without consent, one always makes jokes in poor taste (usually racially charged), one is manipulative to get whatever they want and the rest of us see right through it, one always talks over people bc they think they’re so important, etc.

Regarding being introverted, there’s definitely less extroverted people who are successful with the process but it’s more challenging depending on how you do at these networking events

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)
Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
