At times I find the gender balance in our profession disappointing. Sending a firm invitation to 9 guys. We need better hiring practices

It is what it is. I don't think there is a hiring bias as much as it is a product of personal interests. Same reason there are way more women in nursing and elementary teaching.

Why do we need better hiring practices? Is it because no women were made offers? How many qualified women applied? Maybe the 9 most qualified PEOPLE were actually hired. The assumption that hiring practices need to be changed because no women were hired, is ignorant without knowing all the other facts associated with the current practices and the pool of applicants.

I agree

And if you read that answer in front of a woman, her reaction will tell you why there’s such an imbalance

Read some Jordan Peterson. Most of this is self-selection. My wife, the most competent person I know and 200% my superior, wouldn’t touch this career with a ten foot pool.

Hi, contemplating a bcg expert track PL role after 5 years of ops consulting. Any perspectives on the career trajectory on the expert track vs generalist track? Are the expert track folks really given a 'step child' treatment? Any thoughts on potential exit opportunities?

I am a Senior Manager of Software Engineering and lead architect at a small company (was a startup with < 10 employees when I joined, now has > 50). I am the most senior technical person in the company (we don't have a CTO, I report to the COO), even though I only have 4.5 YOE. By God's grace I have been able to succeed in the role, but feel that I am underpaid and would like your input.

Base: 122k, no equity

If you are a experienced CAD drafter with experience in environmental remediation, we’re hiring. I’d be happy to discuss the opportunity

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
