Curious, does anyone have experience working for the same firm as their spouse? My spouse just got an offer to join a totally separate part of my company. It doesn’t seem like there is any actual optimization of benefits in this situation but I’m curious if I’m missing something.

I work full time from home and so will they. It’s a little quarantiney for my taste but it’s not an insurmountable problem. It vastly improves our after school logistics so there are pluses.

I did for about 5 years pre-pandemic. It was fun because like one of the prev posters said, they 'get' the company culture. Post kid, we try to stay in separate companies to ensure at least one of us keeps getting their paycheck, while the other gets to explore exciting roles (usually we alternate on this one)

I’m curious to hear from people at other firms what is offered in terms of part time work or alternative work options for people that don’t really care about making partner and might want to work part time. I just had my second child and want to ask to come back from maternity leave on a part time basis but our firm doesn’t seem to have anything in place right now. If your firm offers this, what’s the billable requirement, how much of a pay cut is it, and do you still get benefits? Thanks!

I had submitted my resignation a few days ago. It’s been an emotional few days sharing the news with the different teams that I work with. Everyone seems upset and I feel like I’m leaving my family, but the other job has better benefits/pay.

Has anyone else had this feeling? Leaving a company/people that you’re so close with for the unknown at a new position? Not sure if the feeling of guilt/emotions will pass once I officially leave.

Question for McKinsey UK. Are there any schemes or benefits that could help pay off student loans? I'm keen to pay it off ASAP. Maybe have the pension contributions rerouted to SLC until it's paid?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
