Bain & Company Got into MB but rejected from Deloitte, EY, and Strategy&

Left all interviews feeling decent and cases went similarly for all. Make it make sense

Deliotte is harder to get into than Harvard

DES is the new MBB

Everyone thinks they are good at interviews/hiring but few are. There is more implicit bias than people realize in the process so you get variability. I’ve seen consultants struggle in interviews and barely get hired go on to be top performers. I’ve also seen the reverse. Congrats on MB - don’t think twice about Big 4. Both are way better choices.

I didn't get interviews for any of the T2 when I was applying... landed all of MBB. Some of it is them protecting their yields. If they know you're interviewing elsewhere and they don't think you'll pick them, they'll reject you to keep their win rate high. (MBB also sometimes do this with candidates they think will be cross-offered and who they think prefer a competitor)

I mean, they'll ask you, but I suppose you can lie

Same thing happened to me. Rejected by BB as well, only got the M offer...

Like the post but not necessary to tag all the companies

I’ve seen two things happen : 1) is what Bain said. Not offered because you were too good and assumed you would get and accept MBB offer. 2) I’ve seen folks get rejected because of an insanely pretentious attitude, but then get accepted by McK.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

How would you go about finding a remote AE role with a 100k base?

I have about 7-8 years of sales experience and have consistently out performed my OTE. I absolutely love my current role but I feel like I have out grown the company as there isn't a ton of opportunity to make more than I am currently making.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
