Bain & Company Hi Fishes from Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, McKinsey & Company!

I have 5+ years of overall experience, including 3+ years as a Business Analyst at Gartner and earlier 2 years in client-facing consulting and sales roles. I’m actively looking for opportunities at BCG, Bain, or McKinsey. If anyone can help with a referral, I’d be extremely grateful. Please don’t ignore this post — your support could truly change my journey. Thank you in advance!

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hello Fishes,

Advice needed.
Im a ux designer, i got offer from wipro and leadsquared.
Package wise both are same.
Im confused to make a decision
Leadsquared is SaaS based company, i dont know if it comes under service or product company.!

Plus my main fear is, i heard we would be on bench, and if we do not get any project in 1 or 3 months, the they would kick us out.

Which one should i join.
YOE-5

Thanks in advance

Anyone have any good advice for getting students to think/respond on their own? So many times when I ask them to write their own thoughts about something and to explain why they hold that opinion, many students get stuck and/or turn to the Internet. And then I find myself repeating, I’m asking for YOUR thoughts about this, not someone else’s. I teach grades 9 & 11.
