Hi Bainies, a couple of questions about positions at Bain.
Is Consultant to Manager based on tenure or is it a promotion? I know that Sr Manager transition is a promotion but was wondering if Consultant to Manager is only a tenure shift given some people directly transition to Sr Manager from Consultant..
Also is Sr Manager at Bain equivalent of Engagement Manager at McK?
Lastly is there a distinction at Partner level in Bain like in BCG (Partner & then MDP where only MDP gets equity comp.)

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

How does search work at McKinsey? If it’s up to x weeks paid to find a job, how will they know if I’ve already accepted an offer? I’m trying to strategically declare search so I can have a backup offer and use my time to find something better, but I want to make sure that I don’t get in trouble lol. It’s also difficult to multitask finding a job and working on studies since you’re around the clock.

Need help on how I transition my career from Audit to Management Consultancy. I have only completed BCom and ACCA (UK Chartered Accountant) and have worked for over 2 years at EY.

In terms of voting rights and what the Executive Branch can do alone:

1) Why can't the Secretary of State set up more offices to make it easier to issue passports to eligible Americans in the states passing voter ID restrictions? Doesn't the State Department have jurisdiction over issuing passports - a key form of voter ID?

2) Why can't a national emergency be declared on voting rights? Especially after one was declared on a border wall?

I’m interviewing for a solutions architect role and I was invited for a 2nd phone interview. Is this standard practice or is it like Google when the 1st interview has mixed results and they need another one to say go/no go?

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

this is probably a long shot, but are any big firms fully back in person, like 5 days in the office required just like it was pre-pandemic?

Curious how do BB banks view big 4? My new ex-UBS sr manager just compained how useless our buy side FDD reports are to industry and am feeling worthless...

Soft shell carry-ons should be banned. They're ugly and people overpack them. You're an adult, get your overstuffed turquoise bag out of here.

does the mckinsey survey mean anything more than nothing? gotta assume a referral trumps the survey

Insight about knowledge specialist roles at Bain? TC + relationship to associates would be helpful to know

What are the career levels at BCG? Specially trying to understand where does the Product Manager role fit in

MBB interviewers: Given constant GPA, SAT & UG Program, what increases chance of an industry hire landing a generalist interview: 1-2 YOE at Big 4, ACT, Booz, etc OR 1-2 YOE at Spotify, Snap, Bird...

Is MBB laying off professionals (more than performance - based exits)?

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

Any business casual shoe recommendations? Looking to buy a pair of shoes to go into the office. TIA!

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

What does the BCG Project Leader interview process look like for an experienced hire consulting lateral in the US?

So I just got an email inviting me to do a virtual recorded interview with Bain

Does anyone have any insights on whether this is the first round?

What type of questions do they ask?

McKinsey 🐠: how much did you practice before your case interviews? (i.e. how many weeks / months in advance, how many hours per week, etc?) any tips on most effective ways to prep as an experienced hire coming in at the associate level? (No MBA or finance background so may need some extra prep to learn key concepts / terms)

Worked a few years at a small company and wondering what it actually takes to make the big jump to MBB. Anyone willing to connect and share insights?

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

Does McKinsey insurance (USA) cover laser eye surgery?

How much does the EM equivalent at MBB make? And the Associate Partner equivalent? Salary and bonus breakdown would be appreciated.

How does one get into mbb straight from college and why does that seem easier than lateraling in when it really shouldnt be that way? All this considering no mba rn.

Got a message from a Bain recruiter looking for experienced hires to start q1. I'm very interested but cautious because they're looking for a speedy process...feels a little rushed. Anything to be concerned about that I don't know? Like could this just be an attempt to get huge app volume or can I assume there's actually a chance if they reached out? I'm at a boutique in a niche industry, so just unsure of what would have drawn him to my profile.

It’s been a day and I haven’t heard back from my phone case interview. Is this bad news?
