Bain & Company Hey all, quick question about experienced hire recruiting. I'm a third year manager in AI & Analytics at a Big 4 firm looking to switch companies. I was wondering if anyone knew whether McKinsey & Company Bain & Company and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) . ever bring in experienced technical hires at a manager equivalent. I've been looking through available jobs, but them seem to be predominantly for entry level positions. Thanks in advance!

They do but they will almost always knock you down a grade because a Big4 Mgr isn't a MBB manager.

That said an SC at MBB gets paid more than a M in Big4 so unless you are fixated on title progression that shouldn't be an issue.

Word of warning though, in MBB general consulting skills are highly prized, specialist tech skills aren't - almost the exact opposite mindset to a Big4

C1 - Not true. And I’m speaking as someone who worked at D and on the client side with McKinsey.

MBB has very impressive partners and junior staff (I include managers in this group) who have no idea what they’re doing because they are generalists. As a result, McKinsey Ms get their hands held far more than you’re leading on.

As for B4, your comment is generally true however it obv depends on the area of the business.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.
