If you want to work on CDD, Bain is a great spot. McK has a strong practice as well. LEK and EY-P are great places to learn but more likely to run into sell side work (VDD) or work with MM funds or UMM funds. Plus if staying long term the economics of leadership at McK or Bain are far better

Yea def can get into 8 digits

Lek. EY-P. Or Bain,

Literally the only three options

I wouldn't discount McK and BCG - Obviously not as PE focused as Bain but let's be honest recruiters are HAPPY to talk to anyone from MBB.

Assuming Bain, McK, S&, LEK, EYP are top of the list, but curious if the work is much different across these groups and what makes them stand out against the rest.

MBB/T2

A&M and AP both focus to PE. And if you look at their alum on LinkedIn you see a lot of of them work in PE.

Value creation and CDD are very different skill sets. LEK you’ll do a lot of CDD, which could be interesting for investment roles.

For PE ops, I would argue more ops-focused firms would actually be better (McK, BCG, etc.)

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
