Brand name is still strong. WLB is meh. Culture is mixed bag. Comp has fallen behind. It sounds like there has been some serious exodus at HL recently. Search the TAS bowl if you’re in it and you’ll find more info. Good luck!

I would do significant dd before making that move. Read many of the bowls and you will see. They lost many of their directors to the B4, a bunch left to start they own mini firms, culture sucks (see viper), and pay not in line particularly if you are not in the Texas office.

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good. The thing is, my other lead progressed very well, it's also in the Private Equity space, an Investor Relations manager role, boring but good money. they pressed me to go through all the process by the end of the week but I won’t be able to advance much with McKinsey by then…Super stressed, what should I do?
