Looking for McKinsey PEI prep buddies - final round next week!

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting but I thought I’d try to ask, I received a request from a recruiter to interview for a new insurance company I’ve never heard of: Branch. Looked it up and it seems to be a new “Techsurance” company working with both home and auto policies. Does anyone have any information they could share about this company? Thank you!

Hey folks,

What’s the yearly hike percentage at Volvo and how are the perks/WLB?

Any tips on final round airport test fit interviews? Anythings I should / shouldn’t mention (eg gaming hobbies) and anything I should be wary of? Thanks in advance fellow fish!

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.

Does anyone have experience working at NextEra? Curious about culture, wlb, and advancement

Hi folks,

Can you guys suggest where to find and apply for good Product Management roles ?
Any websites or sources or suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S: LinkedIn doesn’t seem to be working out well for me. Not sure about you’ll.

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Litigators—how many different cases are you on?

Been feeling spread too thin lately but I don’t know whats typical. Curious what others do. And would you mind sharing whether you’re a junior, midlevel, partner, etc??

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.

Do you avoid going to shows and concerts that restrict use of electronics? I want to go to a comedy show during the week, but there's a disclaimer that they kick you out If you're checking phone/smart watch, etc. I'm also thinking of shows where they put your phone in one of those dumb locking bags

Fti 🐠, what is the salary band for a senior director in forensic and litigation consulting?

Does lululemon usually release a collection for pride?

I have a friend who told me he sought treatment for alcohol abuse 6 mo ago. We talk a lot and I try not to judge or ask too many questions about his progress, just wanting to be a supportive friend who doesn’t pressure him. Today I brought him to a very laid back picnic… there was drinking but plenty of non-alcoholic alternatives, and it was a very chill group. Toward the end of the day I noticed him drink something. Should I have confronted and stopped him? Should I bring it up now? Guilty now

Ok VC firm names - GO! I'll start - Vandalay Capital, with a focus on import/export companies

What is the average salary range for a Senior PM in Boston?

I'm at a smaller MM bank. My original goal was to start here and hustle through into a BB, but I wasn't expecting to really like the people (my team, my direct seniors). I think the work we do probably wouldn't differ a crazy amount (we close deals, just smaller of course) and I'm wondering if I really have a reason to try to move into a bigger bank.

Perspectives?

Can anyone recommend any resources/certifications for financial modelling? Looking for something comprehensive as I need to learn the skills, while establishing credibility as I wish to work in the industry, but have a degree in mechanical engineering and all my internships were in it. Also a CFA candidate if that helps in anyway (more information about my transition). Thanks in Advance.

How do you discuss deals that are still in progress (for interviews) without giving away confidential information?
Particularly a buy-side deal, bidding rounds are still in progress

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Quick background - former MM banker (think Raymond James, Piper Sandler size) doing FinTech and Asset Management within FIG, but also open to other sectors.

Thanks!

Hi folks - Would appreciate is someone can provide the range for AD salary. Was reached out by recruiter and don’t want to waste my or their time if numbers don’t align. Thanks.

Maybe I’m not 👌 I have an extremely empty feeling idk if I’m just feeling anxious need back on lexapro . If work is starting to get to me - demands of it. I have no idea if depression is coming back. I’ll have moments where I’m happy and feeling good. I have a lot of moments where I feel like a total failure. Maybe it’s time to try therapy again

How is the United States Delivery center? They are recruiting me for that. Good or bad? anything to be aware of?

Working at Capgemini, soon to join Cognizant!!

Received an offer for a Product Manager role from a midsized financial services company for $120k base + 15% bonus. Currently making $130k + 15% bonus in consulting with 4 yoe. Is this a good offer? Should I ask for more base or signing bonus? Or is this pretty fair? Very inexperienced in salary negotiations.

Smart to look for a new job with a “recession” looming? Wanted to leave by end of the year, but nervous I’d be the first laid off at a new spot

How bad is the firing cycle at PwC? Do new associates with albeit low utilization have anything to worry about?

Any audio book recommendations to listen to when backpacking / vacationing?

Justifying the Sheraton's painful bed to yourself because the Four Seasons don't recognize your loyalty

Anybody else think their social life is too much? I can't recall the last time I had me time. I even go out Thursday nights after coming home. How to say no when it's different people all the time?

What time frame is used to measure our utilization metric? I'm pretty sure it's not our fiscal year, but sometime around April '16 - March '17?

Do consulting firms ever do mass layoffs right before they pay out bonuses in order to avoid paying them out? Is this a common procedure?

Hot take. Is FAANG even a thing? Or was Cramer just worried about the acronym if he took out Netflix?

Wanted to hear from others if not a lot of new projects are being signed lately because of the economy or if its just at my firm. I’ve been on the bench for a month now and I was roughly 100% chargeable up til now.

If this lead says "Perspective again".......

Effed up the schedule of a demo and won't have access to the software until the day before I have to show to the partner. Own up that it might nor be ready or wait and hope I can pull it off?

Last week, a partner asked for nitty gritty details on some analysis. I warned him it may be TOO much detail but reluctantly obliged, only to be told today in feedback that I'm "too in the weeds." WTF

Hertz or Avis, and why? Hertz for me because everyone I know that uses Avis says it takes forever to earn free days.

Looking for recommendations for good consulting / problem solving books and possibly LinkedIn courses if anyone has taken something worthwhile. Thanks Fam!

What are some good books that helped you with consulting? Looking for some good reads.

Considering the FRM certification. Those who’ve taken it, how quant heavy is it? I have a compliance risk background and don’t have a deep math or statistics background. However, I want to expand my skillset. Any thoughts?

My manager basically gave me an unlimited budget to get whatever certifications I want. My career profile is similar to a Solution Architect- what should I get? I am thinking about Okta (I do some SAML work), Domo, ITIL, Six Sigma, Certified Scrum Product Owner, Six Sigma, anything else? I have AWS Cloud Practitioner already. I am hoping to pivot to Product Management or Data Science.
