Paraphrasing a partner during practice group call:

Not surprised looters went for shoe stores but Barnes and Noble was untouched... they can’t read.

I was floored by this (ignoring that maybe looters were interested in resale value, perhaps). Such clear racism. None of the other partners even attempted to call this partner out. Call went silent for moment before another partner changed subject. Nobody in practice group AA.

Ashamed, I didn’t speak. Concerned for my employment in these tkmes

First 8 weeks as an Associate after jumping from Big4:

Pros - super smart/driven colleagues, more unique/interesting work, more ownership, benefits are awesome, traveling frequently, more technical work, more frequent feedback

Cons - hours are worse, much faster timelines, having to learn the BCG way quickly, much higher expectations, less ability to choose cases

Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!

How long is the ban in general if you get rejected from MBBs from MBA campus placements? Do you have to wait till after 2 years to reapply? And is there an age limit for application? Besides this, any other personal experience and perspective of how many times people get rejected before they actually get an offer will be much appreciated.
