No self clear if I understood you correctly. There’s a portal to clear which doesn’t clear anything so it’s a moot point.

Yes

The rationale is that you may have insider information even if you do not personally work with the company. So basically any company that we have directly advised or indirectly have knowledge of is off the list

Ughhhhhh. Can you self clear, meaning hold investments that are restricted by McKinsey, as long as you personally don’t have any interest?

K1, not entirely true. People in the SV/SF office cannot hold the stock, advisory outside of those offices have to self clear as you stated originally.

Can you self clear is what I asked. I believe at D or PWC you can actually self clear. Kpmg you cannot. Doesn’t matter if you don’t have anything to do with stock(I’m in advisory) - if it’s restricted, you can’t own.

I’ve had to give up several solid stocks, which has cost me in the long run.

You cannot self clear at Bain. That would be a crazy slippery slope.

Lol. Ok got it

Hey, Chi. First time caller.

So I'm considering a switch from law to consulting, and noticed EY has started posting salary ranges for positions. All the mid- to senior-level jobs I'm looking at are in the $95k to $150k range. Is that right? True for all the big 4? Seems super low. I guess I never thought about it before but how exactly do you folks get paid?

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.
