Bain & Company Has anyone used the “hacking the case interview” platform to prepare for MBB interviews? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

What's the review process for firms. I have people getting rejected but I haven't heard anything. Is it interviews, offers, rejections? Or is it review/ interview and rejections then offers.

I’ve been prepping for MBB for months but I know I’m still not ready. I’m struggling with staying structured and with creative questions. I’m really frustrated because I feel like I’ve put in so much work but I’m not where I need to be to make it. I know if I interviewed today I wouldn’t make it through.
Any advice?

I have been interviewed in EY GDS.
Hiring manager sounds positive.
Can anyone suggest, in how many days feedback will be given?

Has anyone ever had to prepare a creative brief based on a fictional campaign prompt as part of their interview process? I’m doing one right now but find it to be a rather strange exercise...

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

For experienced Deloitte professionals considering a transition to industry, a fast-growing biotech company near San Francisco is hiring for a SOX Compliance Manager and Senior Accountant/Manager roles.

Generous benefits, strong, fun company culture, and stock options are VERY favorable. Message me if interested, and I will try to screen you for an interview!

I started a new role about a month ago (exited from T2 consulting) but just got an opportunity to interview with MBB. The resume I sent in is from 3 months back doesn’t reflect this role change. Should I update the firm I’m interviewing with? Or if I get an offer should I explain during the background check process?

Would anyone in this bowl be interested in participating in live sessions? Perhaps tips and tricks, networking, interview tips, salary negotiation, etc. as topics…

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.

Been searching for work for about 2 months now, and I can’t tell what companies are looking for anymore. I have 2+ years as an AE full cycle. And I get rejected left and right. My resume is up to date, I’m applying non stop, what else can I do?

To HBS admits - any of you thought you didn’t interview well but managed to salvage through the post-interview reflection essay?

If you have previously declined an offer from an agency, how long should you wait before applying there again - if ever?

Is it expected to write hand written thank you notes after an interview or is an email sufficient?

Anyone have an idea on the type of questions the HR team at a new job will ask your references? I have 2 YOE.

Is there such a thing as getting promoted TOO quickly? Just got the bump to AS after 10 months as an AE. Not at all typical at my agency (usually 5 to 8 YOE). I picked up a lot of opportunity after turnover last year. I am, of course, thrilled, but do wonder if it'd put the validity of my agency in question when looking at my resume. Am I crazy? I'm probably crazy.

I have heard very less flow of work in PWC AC’s. Does this mean recession impact has begun and they can start terminating employees on bench???

Where and how to start?

The clients love saying “ladder up.” Hate it

You work on a pitch. Lots of your work goes into the deck. Agency wins business. Work for the brand you helped win is secretly given to other teams. Should I be angry? Or is this just how it goes?

Scheduling added another S3 (my level) to my engagement but acting as a manager, while I’ve been on this engagement for a few years and getting great reviews. My ego is shot and I’m insulted. Advice?

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

Gave my notice, HR pushed my term date up, then goes back on what they said because they realized they needed bodies to help out. 🙄 like why didn’t you double check with the scheduler and teams earlier. literally stated it in my email too. I can’t wait to leave 🥳

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance? Figured I’d be looking for an exit soon, but this just pushed it up.

Is anyone else in the same boat where we are much younger than our peers in industry but make the same amount? Kinda awkward to think about when my teammates starting remarking how young I was.

Would like to spend 3 weeks in New Zealand (when COVID permits) and trying to understand what a good budget would be for 2 people? Using points for airfare but otherwise renting rooms (air bnb/hotel) and a car. Both north and south island. Any thoughts?

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

How is Strategy& doing these days from a revenue / growth and market positioning perspective? Now an alum from several years ago; genuinely curious to hear how the integration has gone and if the waters have calmed a bit since I was there. (I personally had a good experience and was a good launchpad for my career, but have sort of lost touch with the firm and folks there)

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.

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA
