I found it much easier than MBB for biz/ops and GBS which was a huge turn off for me.

Why would this be that large a deal to you? Shouldn’t you be more concerned with the job and less with the interview*?

*My understanding is that the style of the cases is largely the same but the content is less structured and the quantitative asks less involved.

It's usually all ex MBB. So no

*not easier

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design.

The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Looking to get some opinions on 2 offers.

1. Strategy role at a seed stage fintech startup (Series A next year)

2. Partnership role at a market research/data vendor.

I would be taking a 10 ~ 25% paycut if I join the first. But it is an area of business that I think is meaningful.

The second option pays about 50% more than the first. But isn’t the most “exciting” kind of industry/business.

I am 30, single with not much commitment. although im looking to put down a deposit for a house soon
