For McKinsey strategy game it says I have until May 18th to finish the game. Does that mean I can take it on May 18th as the last day? Or am I required to take before May 18th? Only asking cus I’m on vacation returning late the 17th and would much rather take it home on the 18th

Best bars/restaurants with large outdoor space in McLean/NOVA? I’m looking for something for St. Patrick’s Day that will be spaced out

Looking for recs for an outdoor party spot this summer. 20ish people on a Sunday afternoon, chill vibe, not too loud, somewhere people can easily come and go. Best I’ve got so far is Kaiser Tiger or metropolitan tap room. Any others? Thanks!

I'm not going to get back 5 hours of my life.

Watched "Indian Matchmaking". Full of incredulous stereotypes that I abhor. Indian here, btw.

Good nonfiction book recommendations? What are you all reading?

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

What's your favorite restaurant in Houston, hands down? I'm trying to test out all of the best spots before I move! Please drop your favorite

Not legal-related but: thoughts on A Jazzman’s Blues? I loved it. Been a while since a movie has stayed on my mind long after it ended, like this one has. Shocking Tyler Perry wrote it. “Paper Airplanes” is a hauntingly beautiful song.

What restaurant chain is better in your opinion? I am partial to Applebee's but I seem to be in the minority here.

I recently discovered the "Just Thinking" podcast, dealing with social and cultural issues through a Christian lense. Started with an episode recommended by a friend, then just HAD to go back to episode one and start listening all the way through. So appreciate the work the Lord is doing through these gentlemen.

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

Any recommended recruitment agencies to find a consulting job in UK and/or Europe?
If you can share your experiences, that would be great too. I currently work in the US.

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?" It hasn't explicitly been said, but I'm one of the only Black attorneys at the firm and I think my white colleagues and partners see me as an example of how Black folks "should be" cause I mind my business. Basically I feel like a token, and I don't know how to shift that idea while staying professional.

Hot take: I like our decentralized staffing model because I can work in any industry and it creates less of a “class divide” between offices

So what’s the new McK comp breakdown?

Why Bain over the other 2?

Just took this BCG Quant Reasoning test and I think I messed it up. Some of the units are so confusing. Is nearest 000s of pounds 23000 or 23? They don’t partial mark it and the whole test was filled with this sort of thing. Oh well

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Product Manager interview with BCGDV. HR told me it would be a 45 minutes Zoom call with a Product Director. I’ve heard there’s no case interviews, but they’re pretty vague about what the interview is like. Can anyone share their BCGDV recruiting experience and how I can better prepare for it? Thank you so much!

Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!
