I’ve had two throughout my career. They’re now directors and on partner track. It’s nice to have someone in your corner in promotion discussions and to have a little insight into discussions around staffing, etc. It’s also good because they’re actually honest with me regarding my development, whether I’m crushing it or struggling a little. And I can be honest with them about getting on or off projects, personal life

I have mentors through the organizations I’m apart of and they are all at the executive level. It’s nice having someone outside my company to talk to and bounce ideas off of.

I don't know if I have a mentor per session, but I'm really close with my manager. Honestly, he's not the best at managing and giving advice but he's a great person who keeps me sane and tries to help out. If it weren't for him I would have quit a long time ago.

Interviewing with a company I’m excited about and they requested to have the next level (I believe final level) be pushed to the second week of January since they’re team is overwhelmed. I agreed and suggested times and am waiting to hear back. Meanwhile I had another company reach out this past week for a role I’m less excited over. They’ve already reached out for my final interview round this week. I already disclosed that I’m waiting to hear from a company I’ve been interviewing with. Cont’d.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

Wondering if this is a red flag.

I applied for and was screened by HR for a Director position. It wasn't a good fit but I was passed over to another VP. I had a phone interview with that VP which went very well. He expressed interest in creating a Director level role for me based on my experience and interests. I received feedback via a 3rd-party recruiter that the company is in the process of creating a req. and will bring me on-site for another interview. Problem: They changed the level to Principal Eng. What should I do?
