Hi BCG 🐟, BCG’s retirement is just the PSFR paid once a year, correct? Not done as a contribution monthly. Just wondering bc i am about to start and looking to see how to set up my 401k. Also, if for example you leave before the PSFR is paid, you lose that money correct?

Hi, I am new to investing, i am looking for mutual funds where i can have a long term investment. I and ready to invest 10k per month in SIP's split accross multiple funds. Can someone provide me suggestions

If I contribute to a solo 401k, is the additional profit-sharing contribution (the 25% of compensation after the $19500 contribution) based on my gross income, or is it based on gross income minus expenses? Thank you🙏🏼

Random question - My dad took a whole life insurance policy for me when I was 15. Although the policy relates to me, the name of the policyholder is my dad and I would like to change it to me but keep the same beneficiaries. Is it possible to transfer from him to me? (This policy relates to my death btw)

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Thanks all

Hi All,

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Incoming AC at Bain, previously was deciding between Bain and McKinsey. But, ultimately chose Bain for the culture despite McKinsey being aligned with my professional goals of working in the government. I was looking on LinkedIn and didn’t find many people who are working in the White House after Bain, but found countless examples for McKinsey. Would it be difficult to try to transition to working in government after a few years at Bain? Any thoughts?

So what’s the new McK comp breakdown?

Anyone willing to offer referral for lateral hire consulting opportunities at MBB. Is it possible to share the profile internally with someone at Partner level for consideration.
12+ yrs experience in strategy, transformation, change, process improvement, cost optimization & analytics. Helped F500 clients on Future of Work & workforce transformation cases in pandemic.

Networking: I’m trying to build a network with MBB employees but I’m searching for roles in another country where I’ve got minimal school connections. Should I start by building a network in my home country and ask them if they can put me in touch with someone in my target location? Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!

Does your MBB ask experienced hires (1 YOE) for test scores in the application?

Do y’all have a separate work phone?

Can you get rejected for not explaining framework deeply despite doing everything else correctly (cracking the case? And getting the interviewer’s nods?)

Why Bain over the other 2?

Graduating senior. Have choices between MBB and SWE at FAANG. Not sure what to do. Long term I’d love to be in a small startup or a leader in a tech company. Not sure which path is better for that. Any thoughts?

Anyone works in Risk area for McKinsey? Can you tell me briefly what the work would be usually? Any specific areas? Like Compliance, AML? Thanks!

Looking for case partners for upcoming MBB interviews. Currently working in consulting so ideally late (9:30ET or later) most workdays/weekends are open.

Can someone from another country can refer you to the US office? Also what does it mean when someone asks for your resume but doesn’t say anything about referral?

If you get rejected from MBB, how long (if at all) does one have to wait before applying again? Is there some set lockout period?

What is the outlook for strategy consulting and MBB's positioning over the next 10-15 years? And if you had to pick one to build a long term career with, which is most attractive? Curious to hear this forum's thoughts!

I have passed the screening for BCG and McK, and will perform Casey and Imbellus respectively this weekend. Applied with 8 YOE in petrochemical industry. My question is about case interview preparation, I have been mainly practicing candidate-led style so far and don't have much info about interviewer-led approach that McK utilizes. Considering short time-frame to prepare, which strategy should I follow? Are these styles very different?

I’m a manager for at S& (post MBA), promoted fairly quickly and up for SM. If I were to join BCG or Bain, what level should I expect to interview for if I leave now vs after the SM promo?
