My team hires for both. Skills come first, but behavioral qualities are a major factor in who we'll hire when going apples to apples with candidates

Perfect qualities of a manager!

Attitude first, skills second

Both, they are equally important in my opinion. I would rather have an entry level hardworking recent grad than a snotty, veteran coder any day.

I mostly hire for skills, but a poor attitude that seems like it would clash with my team is a dealbreaker also.

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?

Bain & Company What is the likelihood of making SAC in September 2022 if I join as an AC on April 18th at Bain & Company? I am a senior consultant at EY with 3.5 years of experience in Data Analytics. Or is March 2023 more realistic? They told me 6 months for promotion but it seems like the two promotion cycles with my different start dates give me 4 or 9 months of experience, nothing in between. I’ll be joining in the private equity group which will be new for me.
