Applied - with and without referrals and got all interviews and multiple offers.

Haha I was also joking as I fully respect OW 😉

A good number of my colleagues have even jumped for promotions to all 3 so 🤷🏾‍♂️...

It’s a pretty common move, from S& at least.... can’t speak for the other T2s.

There’s this misconception that referrals help... they don’t unless it’s from someone extremely senior

What level are you?

Bain just reached out to me too but not interested. It really depends on the situation. I have it good here... might consider if BCG due to their culture

Ok... cool. Just based on what I directly hear from friends. You're good to take your own opinion. This is my basis and sticking to it.

funny

How do you go about getting a referral? Do you cold network with consultants or recruiters?

I have attended an interview last week which had both Technical and Manager Round. The next day, I got mail from a HR to upload the documents in iBegin portal and then the documents were 'Verified' later. Even after 4 days the status in iBegin portal still says as "Candidate registered against job". I am not getting any response from the HR about the current status.

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
