McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

I was supposed to have my second interview at Raytheon Technologies Corporation. I got an email three min before saying that they had a surprise fire drill and they had to evacuate the building and they needed to reschedule for next week. Do I need to to wait for them to reach back out or can touch base with them tomorrow? I don’t want to be obnoxious. 😅

I think you're probably safest going with a day rate, that's how compensation was structured for my most recent full-time contract. Hourly is probably too detailed for them to care about, but they'll want to avoid weekly because they won't want to pay you for company holidays/short weeks.
I'm probably not the best to ask about that tbh. But if I were trying to figure out a good rate for myself, I'd do all the math: set some reasonable annual salary that works, find some tax calculators to get an estimate on your burden, do a rough guess for your expenses (which honestly don't tend to exceed the standard deduction unless your job requires you to do lots of travel or buy lots of things, which doesn't happen too much), healthcare, etc. Adjust the salary up or down depending on how much you have left after all that stuff, and then divide by # of work days in your contract.
Just a guess though. I took the last offer I got because it was already pretty much their max 🤷♂️
For such a long contact a weekly or even monthly rate might make things easier. This doesn’t have to be anything special, just multiply your day rate accordingly and set boundaries for things like nights and weekends (extra, or if they expect that sort of work to be frequent, just account for 31 days a month regardless.
I agree with day rate, but if possible include an hour cap so that if you work overtime you can still bill it.
If you're still looking for a good salary to freelance rate calculator you can use this tool: https://hourlyrate.beewits.com/
If you have unknown variables for the calculator I find it easier to have a lowest guess and then a highest to create a range or middle number that I would be comfortable with.
Best of luck!
