Has the hiring criteria dropped significantly at MBB? Earlier I wasn’t getting an interview even with referral. But now was reached out by 2 different recruiters and just received an offer for EM although I wasn’t super interested anymore due to an industry offer.

They’re supposedly “casting a wider net”, I am interviewing off a referral but never would have gotten a look before with the state schools on my resume.

Bar is not lower
Wider net
I’ve seen at least half a dozen people I helped case prep not make it through. They were from target schools and had really good backgrounds

Nah, I am an experienced hire myself. Where do you think my conviction was coming from otherwise?

Business is running hot and we’re all explicitly looking for more “diversity”.

What’s your background OP? YOE? MBA? Level at KPMG? It’s competitive for employers out there right now… not a lot of talent in the pipeline so ya, seems like the bars lowered somewhat.

If I had a penny for every time this question was asked 😂

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
