Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website: Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.
What are thoughts on leaving in January?

Omg guys I passed it! The interviewer just called me. Thankfully didn’t get penalized for the math error. Never again I am making silly errors like these again .. so stressful!
It could take a day to a few weeks depending on when the next EP interview days are (experienced professional) I think we have a slate of those days coming in January though so shouldnt take too long, McK is shut down next week though. Sounds like you got a full case and it went well. Forget about the math, worry more about being a real rock star on either brainstorming or structure or both. Who knows, maybe see you on the other side of the table during interview day :)
Thanks M1 - the wait it killing me lol! I know I'll need to wait at least a week since offices are closed next week haha!!
EY1 - please network hard. You need someone to refer you in their system. Can be anyone - associate will be OK too. There is an online form that they fill out and then you file an application online. Most likely you will get a call after the referral.
It’s probably somewhat simplified a bit - less details and # questions
I was asked 4 questions (1 structure, 1 math, 1 brainstorming, 1 risk, and a follow up question to get a deeper sense on one of the brainstorming). I made one minor math computation error but when she prompted me to check, I corrected myself. Overall felt good but worried about the small math error which I did end up correcting during the case and the fact she probed on some of the questions. Hoping for the best! The case was easy overall though. @M1 - did the recruiter email you in a couple of days? I ask because with the holidays, may be I would need to wait January.
OP. I am looking for lateral hiring opportunities into MBB as well. Could you please share some tips in job searching? Thanks!
The online referral asks quite specific questions about the referee, the relationship, and how willing the referrer is to support that person. The stronger and more relationships you have the better
The phone interview is a bit easier, but seems transactional during the call due to length. Case is less than 25 minutes and (obv) doesn’t include graphs or extensive math. Outcome is a pass/turn-down decision.
Pwc1 - my interview lasted 35 - 40 mins probably because of 2 reasons - the interviewer was 10 mins late to the call and the call dropped in between the interview.
Congrats
Congrats OP! Could you please share how you prepared for interview? Any case materials you found helpful?
@EY - victor cheng and Firmsconsulting seem to be good. Are you interviewing as well?
OP - talking to a recruiter next week. Not sure if I’ll get the interview so fingers crossed! Have been reaching out people as well.
OP - who did you practice your cases with?
