Hii
How is dbs project in ibm in term of wlb, carrier growth etc.

When is the prime-time in life to get an MBA? Is it only worth it in this industry to get one from a top-tier university? (Senior Analyst at Accenture)

Whose got the best amex referral bonus to offer? Looking to apply for gold, but maybe platinum.

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

Best way to learn about controls for the Audit exam? i don’t do much with them at work so i don’t have any real life experience on it.

I am going switch my tech into Java development. I am having around 2 yrs of experience in Database.

What are the skills you expect from 2 yoe java developer, which skills I should focus more so transition won't seem too hard.

Note: I am going to join as experienced guy only

please give me your suggestion. It will help me a lot to work and gain those skills now only before switching.

Thanks a lot.

I am starting out to learn data analytics, can anyone share what all resources(youtube channels, books, udemy/Coursera course etc...) did you like while you were preparing?

YOE - 13 years. This is my first switch.

Current location Chandigarh, UBS asking for joining in Pune office, Capgemini asking for Remote joining.

What aspects of international development are you most interested in and what plans do you have to make the switch (for those that aren't working in this space yet)?

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
Thoughts 💭 ???

Anyone from @Tide UK? I’m interviewing for a role and I’d need some help with the prep.

I'm up for a pharma agency senior CW role in the Rx/HCP vertical. I have been freelancing for 11 years, so mostly contract rates between $50 and $80 p/h (lower end on W2, higher 1099). They want to know my 1099 rate and salary requirements if full-time employee. Would $75 hourly and $110K be within range? They are in Philadelphia. I have been working in the Chicago, San Fran, and NYC markets mostly.

Hi everyone,
How and who decides rating ?

I’d like to one day become a PI at a research university. What can I do to set myself up for that path as a first-time research assistant?

What are people’s ADHD med schedules like? I’d love to have coverage that lasts all day, but still lets me sleep.

Taking Concerta in the AM doesn’t give me enough coverage for the whole day. I take it the moment my alarm goes off in the morning at (usually) 6am. Which is great for my morning, but by 3pm I’m starting to fray apart, bouncing around between tasks and getting progressively more distractible and demotivated.

Can anyone refer me to commonwealth bank for technical Business Analyst postion in bengaluru.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone use Litera Transact? Do you find it useful? Our firm recently rolled out the tool but the partners would prefer to run the transactions the old way. Not sure if I should spend the time to learn the tool/promote it to partners?

Scheduling added another S3 (my level) to my engagement but acting as a manager, while I’ve been on this engagement for a few years and getting great reviews. My ego is shot and I’m insulted. Advice?

Anyone from McKinsey Dallas who is willing to chat?

M fish - is there anyway to defer an offer for medical reasons? I expect not but just curious. Have had a wholly unexpected situation arise and am slated to start in 6 weeks.

I need a mentor to guide me for a job role in MBB. I have 5 YOE (4.5 years in Manufacturing & Automation 6 months in SaaS) any volunteers?

McKinsey 🐟: does your ops practice heavily prefer people with practical experience instead of current operations consultants from other firms? As an ops consultant from another firm, what would be the best way to lateral into mck ops?

Are consultants at MBB allowed to trade individual stocks? Or are they limited to mutual funds only? For example, can someone at McKinsey buy AAPL?

How do physical science PhDs fair in applying to and receiving offers from MBB?

How do they do once they are there? Do they struggle to make the transition?

Had a final round at BCG last Friday. After the interviews they said that the would release results today. Then I got an email today saying they will only give the results on the next Friday. What could have happened?? I also know some people how interviewed on the same day as mine and got a rejection email today.

Can Mck fish please advise on the role of a sponsor? How is different from role of mentor? TIA

I have my first round interview (phone case) with McKinsey tomorrow. Any tips on what to expect with the phone case? Will there be an introduction (elevator pitch + why McKinsey?) or will they jump straight into the case? It’s only 30 mins.

Does anyone have any insight on what is entailed during an “expertise chat” at McK? I spoke to a recruiter and made it through to the next step. The next step is the expertise chat before progressing to the official first round interview. For reference, this is for their Healthcare Services & Technology practice. TIA

In my application to McKinsey, do I include past unpaid internships as Work Experience?

Any thoughts on interviewing with 1.5-2 YOE in consulting, what level I would be coming in as at BCG? Wasn’t informed in my interview offer

What resources are you guys using to prep for the quant portion of the BCG chat bot case? So nothing related to mental math on rocketblocks, but more about the logic of the quant portions

Looking to apply to MBB at 1-2 YOE after undergrad. Undergrad GPA isn’t bad, but not MBB quality. Will it help if I take the GMAT early and include the score on my app? How high is good enough? 750+?

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks
