Getting intrigued by corp dev.. how common is corp dev as an exit from MBB, vs corporate strategy? And how are corp dev teams / folks viewed internally by PnL owners within F500 companies vs corp strategy folk (ie I’ve heard the latter are sometimes viewed as PPT makers with limited impact which impacts exits out of corp strategy)?

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time. I am really interested in getting into a top law school here in Toronto but unfortunately I had a low CGPA (3.15) from undergrad due to some unfortunate incident, mostly impacted my grades. I strongly feel i can score 170+ on LSAT; question DO I EVEN STAND A CHANCE TO GET INTO ANY LAW SCHOOL

I am a BSc IT Graduate who's been working in BPO for almost 5 years.
I was planning to make my switch to Data Analytics, is that a good choice?

Can this previous experience of mine come in handy, if i have to switch to BA or DA?
My Current CTC : 5 LPA

Would i be starting as a fresher or can i be able to milk this experience of mine to switch to this new role?

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

Can someone please explain the different routes one can go within Tech? I hear amazing things about comp/wlb but don’t understand what the actual roles are lol

I need some help. I am useless in figuring out what I should be paid. I have an offer on the table from a financial services company for TC of $385000. I am a very senior attorney (20+ years) but this is not a management position. All cash and in the tristate area. Should I be asking for me?

Any openings on manual testing for 3+.

What’s the going rate for a commercial senior underwriting role and what companies have you found to be most enjoyable with a solid work life balance? Personally love where I’m at, but curious to see what else is out there.

Can you guys name some US companies that are hiring Canadians and offering remote positions. Looking to know both sides Insurers and Brokers in commercial insurance.

Two different recruiters reached out to me within the span of hours about the same role. I had already responded to one with a salary range, but upon the 2nd recruiter reaching out I learned the range I gave was lower than they’re willing to pay. The first one didn’t say anything about “no one else can represent you” but I wonder how I should approach correcting my salary range to the first recruiter?

Hi fishes, please help me.

I am working as a mobile application developer at a small company. My CTC is 2.75LPA. I have around 1 year of experience. In my city, opportunities are very less. I am fairly skilled and competent in my field. In my company I do the same work as that of ~3+ year experienced developers. But I only have basic knowledge of DSA.

How can I improve my career?
When should I switch?

Thanks in advance!!

Hey all,
Im looking to pivot my career from industrial design to product design or product management.
At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors. The methodologies and processes are quite similar between physical and digital design so i feel i should not start from a junior position, however my portfolio contains only physical. Did anybody else make a similar career switch? Any advice for switching to product is welcome. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I was hoping to receive some advice with how to transition to product management. I'm currently a senior medical secretary, 2 years of experience, at a well know hospital with a BA in psych and econ and a certificate in PM (thought I would at least get that since my job pays for it). I've been applying for PM or APM roles since March 2022 at various hospitals and healthcare companies but I've yet to get a shot at a 1st interview. Any ideas on how to improve my odds?

Hi All,

What is the pay range and designation paypal offered for 8 yoe in production support role?

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

I'm drowning in one-off business logic or planning requests ever since the last shuffle of devs. I'm the most senior, and def know the most, but on a team where our devs wear many hats, it means that I don't get to code nearly as much as I want to.

I also feel like these one-off requests do nothing for my career, as they're not seen as valuable to anyone other than the requesters.

Hi Fishes. I am new here. I got an offer from CIB Team of JPMC. Can anyone let me know regarding work culture in JPMC and work life balance . As my dad is not healthy and i have to travel a lot to see him often.

which McKinsey/ BCG locations are still actively hiring experienced hire? Thanks.

I had a final round on Friday and I’ve seen a lot of examples of people getting calls immediately after with offers. I was told that they’ll call me on Monday morning, but is this more likely to be a rejection, or am I just in my own head?

Hey,

At the start of the year I was unsuccessful in McK Associate final round (U.K office). I knew I had underperformed. I am going to reapply. I would like some assistance.

Crafting cases was my main resource previously, no 1-1 coaching. Feedback here seems pro coaches. I would welcome recommendations, or of course offers from anyone generous with their precious time & advice.

My thinking is to get early input, to ensure meaningfully and focused practise.

Thank you. DMs welcome too.

How many points would you put down per experience on your CV? Currently following a guideline of max 5 points - max 2 lines each (for positions held ~ 1 year). Have been told it'd be good to reduce this to 3 points but am afraid it makes my CV more empty and less impactful

Do I have a chance with MBB?

I’m currently working at a management consultancy (approx. 5000 employees) in the data division (in the UK).

I consider myself to be a top performer and was recently promoted from the grad scheme after 1 year at the firm (compared to average 1.5-2 years). I also have an offer for similar role at big4.

Is it worth applying as an experienced hire for MBB? I didn’t go to a target university so I’m wondering how I can maximise my chances in applying.

Thanks!

Any McKinsey or BCG fish know when experienced hire recruiting might start up again? Thanks for your insights 🙏🙏🙏

Is it true that BCG has an unlimited food budget and allows Ubers to the office within your home city?

Have an offer from McKinsey. However, based on the start date I was given, I will have to forgo a substantial bonus at my current firm. Any chance that McKinsey will boost my signing bonus to account for this loss? Will they just ask me to push my start date? Or will they say take it or leave it? Offer is for BA level if that matters.

What do BAs at McKinsey & Company do for operations and supply chain? Do you get to work on strategy projects or is it more implementation?

New joiner at ZS. Have been on beach for 5 weeks. I'm considering to reapply to MBB (made into final rounds in Mckinsey and BCG last year). Is now a good time to do so? Just have a lot of time to practice cases now lol, and I'd like to join MBB eventually because there are projects beyond healthcare and better reputation.

Any inputs appreciated, got a recruiter call next week

Need some perspective. Have to pick between MBB entry-level and mid-level at T2 (OW,S&,Kearney, 6-12m to post-MBA level) Over the first 2 years, I’d make ~210k at MBB, versus ~320k at T2. In other words going to MBB will cost me ~110k in a 2-year horizon. I’d be at post-MBA level after that for both options. I’m interested in joining tech product mgmt (might need to do s&biz ops first to lateral). In the medium term. I also want to go to HBS/Stanford as a personal dream. What makes most sense?

Those who have succeeded in both T2 interviews and MBB interviews. Did you find the MBB interviews much harder or different at all?
