Do you have to go into the McKinsey office if you’re not traveling? How much has travel resumed after Covid?

2 offers.
1. Manager at Wayfair in Boston $110k base + $10k signing + 10% bonus +$7k relo + $100k equity over 4 years

2. Senior Manager at Start up fully remote, $120k base + 10% bonus + 10,000 stock options + full Heath, +$1k yearly to travel.

So, a spot I made (concept to completion) got shelved due to COVID forcing the client’s marketing plan to change. During that time, my partner and I were laid off. Recently, the spot aired, but the agency credits a different team for the work – me, my parter, and my CDs aren’t listed. Do I ask the agency to correct it? Just throw it in my book with explanation? Just take the L and chalk it up to that being how the industry is?

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.

Is anyone willing to share their experience with having to take time off because of Covid? I just got it (I’ve never had it before) and I’m doing ok so far but paranoid that I’m about to start feeling a lot worse. Are managers relatively understanding or are they going to expect me to work regardless?

I’ve seen a few posts about long waits but does anyone know the typical time it takes to receive an offer or rejection after lateral callbacks? Or, if we could start a list of recent experiences with offer timing that would give me an idea. I feel like covid has made everything wonky. Pref big law corporate positions

What is the Bain 8 minute pre screening test? Does everyone receive it and is it a typical FIT interview?

Idk how, but I got the offer. Still wondering if it’s real (it’s been 30mins since the phone call) because I thought I performed so poorly. I wouldn’t have passed myself. I hope the interviewers didn’t make a mistake (accidentally mixed up evals for another candidate, or the call was meant for another candidate w/ the same name). I do want to thank the Fishbowl community though. So many of you took the time to share your experiences and encourage me. I couldn’t have done this without you.

Can someone explain how MBB office factors into the firm dynamic? Coming from Deloitte our office culture is minimal given the nationwide travel model and cross office teams.
