McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.
Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

^ Yup local emails went out addressing all policies... most obvious like gift card reloads but also the controversial Thursday night dinner and Monday morning breakfast which is just BS. Someone from EY join the audit team? Lol
This is likely a situation where a project or practice was seeing higher than normal expenses, requested an audit, and they found things that practitioners couldn't explain. This happens all the time. You won't hear about people getting fired for this unless you are friends with someone in Talent.
Fake News
Fake news. The person got fired for 1) buying a weeks worth of groceries Thursday night 2) making fake manual cab expenses
I call bullshit
It is within policy
fake news. Fired poor performers.
Um... if I'm on an evening flight back home on Thursday, you better be damn sure I'm expensing dinner. I ain't cooking once I get home.
As per APR 520.010B: "The cost of meals while in transit (i.e. between airport and home) is typically not reimbursable." We also just got an explicit email from a partner saying that Thursday night meals can't be expensed unless it's in the client's city (i.e. you haven't flown back yet)
I am from AIM and can confirm that 4 SC/C were fired because of expense violation. Not sure if it was coz of Thursday dinner or something else. My guess is that folks were doing some serious fake expense like manual expensing cab of $200 a week and Deloitte did an silent investigation and came up with decision to fire instead of warning
What if you're at the office until 4pm. Catch a 5:30pm flight back to the east coast. Land at 1am.
Ding ding ding! Expenses will burn ya if you push it, especially if you aren't a stand out performer.
It's not fake news... The other expense violations may have been what did it, but it is against policy to expense Thursday night meals unless you have project approval. Not sure what to do about past expenses..
@Deloitte 4 I feel the same way. I always assumed we can expense Thursday night meals
You'll be fine...do your job and don't openly game the system. Nobody is going to fire you for grabbin a McDouble on your way home from the airport.
Next thing you hear is people getting fired for expensing lunch... ey style
Monday morning breakfast?? Yikes I always get at least coffee. And expenses are way easier to fire someone for than performance overall. There's no legal liability if they just broke expense policy. Unfortunately, they probably searched for reasons to fire those people.
They need to change the policy. As long as you're under $50/day on average for the week it shouldn't matter. Also, we don't have the energy (or groceries...) to cook something at 9 on a Thursday night after travelling. At least I don't..
DD1 - I'm in Digital... soooo, I guess you must be low margin... What's the purpose of being such a Dbag?
The fear mongering on this thread is ridiculous. Guys, these folks just didn't get fired for expensing a quick bite to eat on Thursday nights. There has to be more to the story.
