🐠 friends, I am 18 months out of undergrad and applying for secondments. Is it weird to list my education before my work? I went to MIT at age 16 and scored a 2390 on the SAT... I like the idea of

Totally fine to lead with education...i'd actually suggest it if it's more impressive than your work experience.

16 is impressive. I was barely 17!

Not weird at all. Curious if you can you take time off before/after secondment to take care of long overdue personal goals? ;-)

HA B5!

I am skipping town for 2 weeks at the end of February. Personal goals will be happening whether the secondment does or not 😉

...landing those facts before my 18 months of work

@O every consultant has excellent educational stats. Don't bother. Btw what firm are you at?

List it, very impressive and can't hurt. Good luck!

You list what you think your audience will care more about. Forget norms.

Why do you want to leave BCG ?
@op

I wish I were more like you

I'm not leaving! Just applying for secondments (they are like internships... We work at client firms and social impact orgs). Would return to full employment 6 months or 12 months down the road. Just looking for a change of pace.

@OP Are you applying for City? :)

I've met a surprising number of 20 year old A1s, I feel so old 👴🏼

OP, does the 1/3 pay cut that applies to social impact secondment also apply to those at clients (not social impact org/nonprofit)

1/3 pay cut is typical, though less the rule at client secondments.

@BCG2-- It's alright, no one cares in the end 😉You landed MBB after all...

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute.

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
