Can any MBB experienced hire confirm if GRE or SAT scores are required during the application process? Did you submit any test scores when applying? I’m looking at the BA role at McK, SA role at BCG and SAC role at Bain. I have a masters but my GMAT score is terrible so I am trying to decide if I should apply without the score or spend some time to write GRE before applying.
YOE: 2.5 years of industry experience with a masters.
Appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Just pretend you haven’t taken the GMAT, plenty of experienced hires havent.

I think scores only matter for current students and not experienced hires. I could be wrong, but I was never asked for gpa, test scores, etc. As a 2 YOE hire

Can't speak to other people's experience. But speaking to mine, I was not asked / failed to fill that in

There should be a drop-down to select an option if you don’t have the scores to report.

BCG asked me for test scores, McKinsey didn’t. Can’t speak for Bain.

I'd put my money they work at BCG considering McK doesn't have a "consultant" title and they can't speak for Bain.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
