Hi everyone. I am applying to MBB and T2 in the US for an associate.
Background - founder of edu startup back in Russia, attracted investments, turned company into profit and sold my share last autumn and move to the US (won GC).
I have bachelors degree (Economics) from a top-tier Russian university + 3 years of experience in Big4(S&O) in Moscow.

I understand that my background is quite unusual for the MBB. What do you think about my chances to get into? Any advice will be highly appreciated!

What can I do to upgrade my game and reach those higher numbers?

However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

My assistant of 2 years is making mistakes and I have no hiring/firing power (partner does). But having to babysit her and also the partner and spend time to clean up these mistakes while also getting my job done has become unsustainable. I can’t have a firm talk with her because it’s an empty firmness. If I mention it to the partner - he tells me to have a firm talk with her, he doesn’t want to be the bad guy and he doesn’t get how bad it has been for me.
