Bowl Leader
Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

I really think that the insurance policy given by mediassist is way more expensive for parental insurance, means who will pay for 50k+ premium and that too for large copay, I guess the leadership team should intervene here....Parental insurance is really important for any employee and most of the time is only needed.
Recently I used parental insurance and found that the insurance company only paid for 50% of the total bill.

There absolutely is - granted, harder because recruiters tend do speak to MBB consultants first but build the right relationships and you’ll be fine
There isn’t really a way to down-level pre-MBA at MBB because there is only one level, which is direct from undergrad. Down-leveling is common from T2 to MBB at post-MBA levels.
What's T2?
T2 like OW, Kearny, LEK, EY-P, S&
I’m feel like if you leave at the associate or below you won’t get a great title but if you’re an experienced manager or above you can pop out at the director/VP role
The hype is that it’s a steep learning curve — you’ll become really good researching, problem-solving, data analysis (mostly in Excel), and storytelling (mostly via PowerPoint) — and you’ll get exposure to a lot of different industries at most firms and high-level business leaders.
At the associate level, it’s great if you want to exit into strategy roles at corporates (MBB definitely has a slight edge there), and most startups would probably take a risk on you because they need smart people that learn quickly. But a lot of your exit opportunities will depend on what projects you are assigned — if you hate the industry or the business function of your projects, it’s a lot harder to sell that experience at a future company to do something different. And there are just constraints of how consulting is done in terms of transferability. For example, data analytics roles require more skills than just Excel. If you can, figure out your preferred exit early and try to get staffed on projects that are relevant.
Which T2 you heading too?
Nice enjoy!

Worth a ton. Can get involved in any industry you are interested in and raise your value very quickly. I just left M level for a $300k director level position. By fishbowl standards i could have done even better. I get contacted by recruiters almost every day for positions at $200k+ base alone.
But you can build your story out very valuably, very quickly. Just make the most of it and get involved in as much as you can that differentiates you.
