Bain & Company Currently at an MBB and finding it hard to do -quality work faster. I could always do my job well, but never had to do it fast too, and now finding it quite hard. Manager also noted that if I've more time, the output tend to be of higher quality, but MBB doesn't allow for the luxury of time. What advice do you have to do better work, faster?

My advice would be to focus on the aspects of your work that have value at a given time in the iteration process. First turn: I want to see output numbers or the page structure with key messages. Next iterations act on any feedback/ comments from EM/ ED, and do the formatting and final polish when everything else is solid (or have someone do it for you if that’s an option). Without knowing more my guess is you spend too much time trying to do 100% on something that will anyway end up getting comments and edits so a big chunk of that work is wasted.

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One.

What were the likelihoods that they would have raised my salary? I had no other competing offers at the time

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game." It seems like Ripple, Monero, Gnosis, and Golem are the ones worth being in outside of the "big 3" (not MBB). I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
