As an experienced hire, I was able to interview with:

BCG - NYC
McKinsey - NYC
Bain - Seattle
I went to final round with BCG. Second rounds with McK and Bain. No offers.

What do I do? Keep going?

MBA. I interviewed with BCG and McK as a lateral. Final round, close but no cigar with McKay. Dinged after first round with BCG.

Feedback from McKinsey was very direct. Have the potential and experience, but not the polish or biz sophistication, to be in post-MBA role. Told me to consider MBA. I did, got multiple offered, ended up here.

Recruiting on campus is light years different. The lateral interviews took me six months of hard networking to land. On campus, 15 firms are begging to take you out to dinner.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
