Remote work moving forward: where are your firms at?

Gratuity Form L is given to me, by what time can I expect the payment?

Hi all,

What do you think is a bare minimum CTC required to sustain a good married life considering life in a metro city. I do earn about 15LPA. So how much should. I look for in a guy?

Hello Fishes,

Deloitte USI is offering me 15LPA fixed and 1lack joining bonus and HCL offering me 23LPA fixed. I've tried to negotiate with deloitte but they are not ready to negotiate and asking me to join on the same CTC which was initially provided. I'm confused to select the company. It would be really helpful if anyone could share their views. Thanks.

I finally plan on quitting in two weeks. I’m so overwhelmed with emotions. I don’t even have a job lined up. I can’t wait to reclaim my life!

I am a straight , but I kid you not…

I get depressed and irritated most jobs I work for at the 3 month mark..:

How did you learn a new language at an older age? Just curious how others learned new languages. Duolingo, Classroom teaching, Learning from being around that language, etc…

What do you like to see in your snacks drawer? I prefer healthier stuff like protein bars and fruit.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Does anyone pursuing FIRE actually like their current job? Trying to get a grasp of how much of the FIRE movement is driven by escapism from unfulfilling work.

What are some realistic exit opportunities? I’ve been doing insurance/damage loss this whole time. Wouldn’t mind doing the same thing either but I just need a pay increase

It’s open enrollment season, and health insurance premiums are way up at my company (up 37% to $600/month for a family). Anyone else see big increases this year?

Do McKinsey make your own slides or do you outsource it all to your graphics team? Asking specifically for NA.

Networking: I’m trying to build a network with MBB employees but I’m searching for roles in another country where I’ve got minimal school connections. Should I start by building a network in my home country and ask them if they can put me in touch with someone in my target location? Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!

Re-invited to interview at BCG but also want to cast a wide net and apply for Mck and Bain. However got rejected last year this time at the resume screen stage. I’ve changed firms since I last applied (to a well known boutique) - is this sufficient or am I still frozen?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

Can someone explain the benefits package for Associate Directors at BCG. I hear health and 401k match is great, but any specifics will help. Also what is the average bonus and range low to high.

Hot take: I like our decentralized staffing model because I can work in any industry and it creates less of a “class divide” between offices

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.

What do you think about the new BCG practice on Transformation? Is it a repackaging of TURN or something better?

Got rejected from McK after one final round interview didn’t go well. When can I reapply? I was being considered for a post-MBA role. Super bummed

I’m exhausted from interviewing and caseing 🥵

McK folks, how many hours do you work per week in avg? Like 65?

What is first year partner compensation?

What credit card do you use?

Does the location of your MBA program limit which office you can recruit too? I want to work at MBB in NYC and have an admit to Stern and Ross however Ross is providing an 80k scholarship. I’d like to take this scholarship but I really have a desire to be in NYC post mba.

What do you think would be the best office & sector to work in ?

How does WLB/hours change as you progress within McKinsey(BA->EM->AP)? In other words, do you work less hours at McKinsey when you become more senior?

For those who haven’t been given too much time for R1 interviews (experienced hires) and R2 (if it happens) is less than a week from R1, do they know / care that they’re not giving enough prep time to people who have full time jobs?
