Hey all. Sorry for the weird question. I was interviewing for a role with BCG in Africa several years back but cut the process short due to personal circumstances. Fast forward to today, I received an automated email that I was rejected 😂 The main concern I have is that I may be interviewing for another BCG role in the U.S. in the coming months, and am concerned it’ll flag me as ineligible. Should this be an issue?

Did anyone notice that the Kellogg application doesn’t ask for race? How come? I’m happy but it just seems strange.

I started a new job a couple months ago and am not happy. As I’m trying to get clear about what I want I’ve realized my happiest place is brand positioning / voice definition work. Is that still a thing primarily handled by big, coastal agencies? Any tips on how to find brand-centric roles like that?

I’ll be promoted next year to senior but I’m in a niche role where I don’t see myself long term. Should I make a job switch now or should I wait to get promoted to senior? I currently have 1.5 years of experience.

I am looking for any referrals in audit/ advisory firms. I have worked in 3 of the big four audit firms and currently working in Canada in the financial services industry (head office in Boston).
I have 15 years experience in the financial services industry and worked in various countries.
Looking to move to USA. I am Canadian citizen and holds CIA (USA), CPA Canada, ACCA UK.

Side gigs. What do you do to supplement your income (besides marry for money)? I bartender but that’s taken a hit with Covid. Thinking about some kind of tutoring set up.

My current project winds up on 31st December 2022. If I resign by mid/end of this month(expecting a few offers), would CG persist with the 90 day notice period with me serving majority off those on the bench or would they consider releasing early once the client stops paying? #Capgemini #NoticePeriod

I literally cannot wait to see my friends and family 😩 Hope you’re all hanging in there.

Learning cloud architecture right now so apologies if these are obvious questions: Best ways to store video metadata to perform analysis on it? I'm looking at AWS and GCP. Saw that Cassandra would be good for it, but not sure what the GCP equivalent is? But also I'm a bit confused on if Cassandra is just a DB and storage would need to be elsewhere? All help is welcome! I've been spinning my wheels on Google trying to understand

What's the typical salary in London for greedy sociopaths with 10 years of experience?

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Ah the wait while the background check clears, I don’t feel like working. Thoughts on things to do!?

My friend is recruiting for MBB this summer - he is a vet back at school and grew up around the world.

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks

Does Bain and BCG have an implementation arm similar to McKinsey Implementation?

Quick one, Is it okay to always ask for time to collect thoughts before answering questions during case interviews or should we shoot from the hip? I stutter naturally so speaking without a bit of time to collect thoughts can be hard.
