Have 3 years of experience in Tech Consulting. Would like to switch to one of the big 3 (McKinsey, BCG, Bain). I do not come from a tier 1/2 college. Do I have a chance? What would be the right path?

It’s going to be a bit tricky with the pedigree not being in your favour. However if you can seek a referral from a current MBB employee who knows you well, you MAY get an interview. Else if you don’t have an MBA, try getting one from a school where MBB comes on campus to hire.

Hello guys,

Please help.

Recently, a month back I made a switch to a product based company/startup. For a month, I was getting to know their one of the product having tech stack as Java & Aws. Now after a month, I am being put in a new product completely based on golang & temporal.

My total exp is 3.8 years, since I have already spent 3.8 of my life in Java stack, would that be good for me if I make a switch to some other language or tech stack? I see, there are very few position for go.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
