Do MBB firms consider academic scores even during lateral hiring? I am from target schools but did not make the shortlist on campus placements due to low cgpa. Can I apply laterally now?

I do! Thought they can help refer my CV but if the recruitment committee considers acads I can expect it to not materialise. Just wanted to know if I should consider moving as a possibility even with suboptimal grades

If you mean backend offices/Capability Networks you don't need extraordinary grades.

Thanks. Was aiming for front end roles

What was your cgpa? I think undergrad cgpa shouldn't matter much a couple of years out of b-school.

I'm 3.02/4 in Bschool :( passed out in 2020 so fairly recent. Hope the referral and my total 5 years of rich workex helps

Depends on how much work experience and spikes in the CV you have.
Academics is a criteria but not the ONLY criteria. Accenture IB are usually preferred from what I’ve seen

ATB!

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting.

Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

I started working for a solo-preneur (so it's just us two) last year and after several very open and honest conversations about workload capacity and boundaries re: my schedule, I don't think I can see myself here long-term. However, I feel really bad because of the timing (there would never be a good time for me to be replaced) and what I would be doing to the owner (pushing back their personal and company goals). Do any other "feelers" out there have any advice on how to approach this?
