WE in insurance brokerage/advisory at Marsh/Aon/Willis

Commenting out genuine curiosity as I’ve never heard being lgbt as an advantage or disadvantage in terms of adcoms, but curious to see other people’s input.

Fellow LGBTQ male. Being LGBTQ doesn’t help by itself, but if you do something related to it (eg serve on board of LGBTQ charity) it shows you’re committed to your community and is usually a bump.

Looking to transition out of Management Consulting and going into big tech in NYC. Ideally, I would love to go in as a PMM; however I’ve heard it’s very difficult to make that jump if you don’t have a degree in engineering or CS (I’m a liberal arts graduate and in the final year of a part-time mba). Should I look to apply as a program manager role since it’s more likely my consulting experience will apply to that and see if I can transition into a PMM role from there?

What does the BCG Project Leader interview process look like for an experienced hire consulting lateral in the US?

Some agents are not sincere, and some houses have a negative record (this is what we call the incidents inside the homes), but many agents do not say it. I know it is about ethics, but at the same time, it should be punishable because you are deceiving a person to take advantage of the situation; it is a scam.
