Convince me travel isn’t all bad rn: just talked to a coworker who came back from Greece. Trip itself was fine but the travel was horrible: Lost bags on the way, long lines for everything, missed/delayed/cancelled flights, entire group of 8 (who all went home to different destinations) had 1-2 days added to travel back and slept in the airport. Is this happening to everyone? Is this only effecting certain destinations/layover airports? I’m type A plans for everything so this is making me feel 😬😭

How long after submitting a resume for an in-house gig before you can be reasonably sure you’ve been ghosted? What’s a reasonable amount of time before you give up hope?

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!

Hi all - so I had an interview with salesforce in the sales strategy and ops group. Had the final round about a couple weeks and haven’t heard anything. Also, the recruiter I had the relationship with left salesforce the Friday before the final round, and the new point of contact has been unresponsive. Any tips on how to move forward?

When does Natwest initiate employee onboarding after background verification?

I just made a transition from ID to commercial litigation/corporate transactional practice. What kinds of CLEs would y’all recommend I take? Also — I’ve heard that boutique firms in my practice area generally have lower billable hour requirements but for more money. Is that because it’s more complex work that takes longer? Or is there something else I’m missing? Thanks y’all!

@McKinsey folks, are there any nuances of McKinsey Implementation? Differences in pay or track to partner?

I completed the Mckinsey PSG (Solve) but didn’t receive a confirmation email after. is that normal? should I email the recruiter and let her know that i completed it?

Heres a fun one: would cold messaging an executive assistant within MBB be worth it? Obviously they arent directly working in consulting but they have close proximity to senior management. Potential networking opportunity here?

Funny how 90% of posts here are re: M. Wonder if grass actually is greener over there...

How does one improve ability to market size on a real case (not an interview)? what are the best resources that teams use to inform market sizing data?

McKinsey/BCG folks - work wise, have heard a few times that the most apparent difference with both firms is the management style. Mck adopts a more top-down approach whilst BCG a bottom-up. Would you say this is true? Would love to hear your stories too!
