What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hello! I’m going to BSchool in August. Any recommendations on books / websites / videos to be more prepared for management consulting interviews?

Best podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, or um books for interview prep for consulting?

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Looking for McKinsey PEI prep buddies - final round next week!

About to interview with Neuberger Berman, hadn’t heard of them before. Anyone have any thoughts on their culture and WLB?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

As performance review season approaches, I am offering my services to ghostwrite the BL Bowl’s annual self-evaluations. For an added fee, I will also attend your performance review. For an even bigger added fee, I will attend in-person.

Anyone who’s started on their essays - how have you gone about brainstorming, especially for the more personal essay prompts? E.g., what matters most to you and why, when do you feel most alive, etc.

If you are taking sponsorship from your firm does that change your story around why X Business school? Do you let schools know you are going to take sponsorship? Does it increase your chances since they are paid upfront?

Those living in high-rises - are your pools open? And if so, are they allowing guests, or limited to residents only. Trying to make a case to my building up in Old Town.

Anyone ever considered contractor gig in Meta/Facebook or any other big players in tech? I'm full-time in a smaller company and it's pretty stable. Wondering if the move could be worthwhile. Mostly want to explore other areas. Other things to consider: planning for babies in the next 3-5 years; maternity leave in current position is basically what's legally required.

PhD in Chemistry w/ 8 YOE. Now pursuing a part-time MBA while working as an R&D manager is a chemical company. I don't enjoy chemistry research anymore and want to try something else. I'm interested in consulting and think it could open doors for me to do something different after a few years. My main struggle is that I think I'm pretty old to make such a change (if I can get into consulting) ...not sure if anyone has a similar background that can share the insights.

JD for strategy consulting? I have JD, and I am currently doing risk consulting (regulatory/compliance/legal oriented engagements). Considering applying for a few strategy consulting roles. Any skill sets I am missing (e.g., financial modeling, SWOT analysis, etc.) that I should learn first?

Have a friend who is at an engineering PhD program. I'm trying to help shape her resume, but would love a second look from those that understand the differences in grad school recruiting.

Interested in pursuing a PhD in Econ (don’t have research experience or the math classes yet) what can I do to strengthen my app? Should I apply for a masters before phd? Graduated from a T20 undergrad with a finance major and good gpa, been working at D as an analyst for a year now

When people ask you for YOE, do you include your time in grad school at all? I feel like writing that you have 2 YOE when you’re 30 years old gives a warped sense of level and compensation.

Hey there -

Off the cuff -

My kidlet is a frosh in HS - she has wanted to be a surgeon since she was 3 - the last year or so, she's started specifying trauma surgery.

So... what's a good med school to track into a strong trauma residency? My second dad talks about Presbyterian in NYC as awesome.. but am trying to get an understanding of options to help degap her own research.

What matters?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi! Sitting on offers from Harvard and Cambridge for PhD. I was hired out of undergrad into Strategy, worked two years. Trying to decide if I want to 100% pivot to academia...any advice/suggestions?

Any advice on how to push through the last step of the dissertation? I work full time and only have that left for my PHD, but it has been very challenging to make real progress.

How many fishes in this thread at BEP??

Any advice on applying for PhD out of consulting? I'm 8 years out of undergrad. Scored well on GRE but unsure how best to proceed given I've been out of school for so long.

Any recommendations on schools that offer PhD studies as part time while one still works full-time? What's the tuition fee and years of study?

Hi everyone - MD Consultant here. Would love to network with other consultants in this group and learn why you decided to come into Consulting. Thank you.

Any other MDs here? Are you preparing for industry exits or the long haul in consulting? I genuinely love this industry so far an am curious how much of my background will actually be useful after SA.

Which machine learning conferences are FAANG companies recruiting at ?

I’m starting as a Manager at one of the big 4 in 3 weeks. I left my tenure track job 4 yrs ago so I’m accustomed to non-academic work but still intimidated. Advice? Will I succeed this first year?

Hi all, I am a 4th year chemistry PHD student (International/Indian) and will surely finish in about a year, around Aug23. It can work for pharma (Merck, Pfizer, GSK etc.) as a scientist. However, I recently learnt that consulting firms particularly MBB also hire PHDs from diverse background. I am wondering what steps can I take in a year to do the transition if its possible? Or do I need to get some big brand name on my CV to do the transition?

Hi. This is probably a basic question, but I'm wondering which consulting firms prefer people with a PhD background in science? Thanks

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech. She does not have any real work experience outside of her lab (3 years) and an adjacent internship. Another factor is she is just generally feeling burnt out on school after the last few years.
To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

Does anyone currently work for a company that’s hiring? If so, would anyone like to throw a referral my way? 😇

JD - graduated in May. I started working for a small firm in March, during my last semester. I stayed with the firm until this month: pay was garbage, and supervisor started treating me poorly when they found out I was interviewing for other firms.

I’ve been applying and interviewing for months. I hate to say that I am desperate, but any advise would be desperately appreciated ☺️
