Literally no one. It's never happened.

Nope. Once your big 4, MBB doesn’t touch you. There’s nothing you can do to change their minds. It’s against their company policy

I did the opposite, McKinsey to EY. Old colleague of mine went from Deloitte to McKinsey, so yes it’s possible. Happy to share more about the interview process.

Calculate how many airplanes are in the air right now in the US. Otherwise, show the value you’ve created for your clients and ideally tell a story using quantitative data (like other company interviews)

All 50. Also throw in Puerto Rico and other provinces to show you’re taking all into consideration

Y’all so mean🤣

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
