Hi London 🐠
I am trying to move from Germany and land a job in consulting / startups in London, but having a hard time. I have a Masters from target Uni in Europe mainland, 3+ years of international work experience (US, Asia and Europe) in in-house consulting and currently at a startup. Any insights on what could be the issue? Is it non-traditional route or non-UK degree / exp that’s holding me back to get interviews?

Would really appreciate any advise.
Thanks 🙏

Has anyone ever had any luck applying for a hybrid job and convincing them to let you work fully remote? I'm seeing a lot of hybrid postings for my role but not a lot of fully remote ones.

Privacy associate, 3 YOE. I’ve made it to the final round of interviewing for two businesses now over the course of the last 5 months or so that I’ve been applying. Am I too junior to be applying? I’m wondering now if there’s something wrong with me as an applicant. It’s discouraging and exhausting to get through 6ish interviews while working big law hours and get a no and I want to make sure there isn’t a fatal flaw with me as a candidate.

Anyone heard back from Capital One for the MBA product management position? My application has been in progress for over a month and no news from the company. @CapitalOne

I had an in person interview on Friday morning and sent a thank you email eod Friday. Now I’m wishing I would have asked when to expect to hear back. It was a panel interview with a smaller municipality. How do people deal with the wait game, how long do I wait before reaching out? I felt very good about it but now each day that passes I feel less confident! Help!

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

Hi ,

I how many days do we receive mail/ communication regarding the interview after the first round (technical & management round) in TCS .

Can anyone help in this??

Do you regret getting a PhD?

Did my decision round with BCG and came out feeling meh. The interviewers pushed me a lot (made me brainstorm on where to start until I found the right place) and didn’t really work with me through the case (just let me go on even if my I was a 0 off in my calculations).

Is this normal? The experience was vastly different from my R1.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

I received a verbal offer for a Sr UX role at RBC last Monday. I haven’t received the written offer yet. Hiring manager said it’s going through the approval process, currently waiting for the second approval.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned? It’s been over a week and I haven’t received a written offer for the role.

What title do you list on a resume of the job you performed did not match? You were performing another job? I have read conflicting reviews. Some articles suggest you put the title of the job you we’re actually performing while others suggest you list your title and the other job in parentheses. Thoughts?

Any insight on Deloitte FDD interviews for senior/manager? I have a ppmd supporting me for the position so that helps but still have to go through the formal interview process. Would appreciate any advice !

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Are there any places in the City where I can get custom/nice fitted dress shirts for around $100 per shirt? Looking to upgrade my dress shirt collection.

I made a big mistake and think that there are upcoming layoffs in my company after just getting hired. I'm at $185k TC right now as a SDE with over 5 years experience, and it was a huge raise from the last company, but now I think I will have start looking again. Will I be able to take the same comp with me to the next place?

Does anybody else feel like a corporate sellout? Like yeah, our salaries our good. But the world around us is crumbling, and it’s the corporate systems we build that are much to blame.

Any tips for getting through behavioral interviews and/or tailoring stories to ambiguous questions on the fly?
I’m perusing a TPM role (faang/fortune50) and getting through SD and PM interviews just fine.
I’ve prepared at least 50 retrospective star stories but without fail, the interviewer always throws a curve ball. As an introvert, I am introspective in my problem solving and struggle to quickly adapt my prepared stories when the interviewer is being intentionally ambiguous.

Hey fishes,
A humble request
Please give me 11 hearts, I just wanted to enable the em feature.
Thanks.

Just leveled up to Product Design Lead. Would Experience Design Manager be the next move?

what are the more common externships at bain - specifically from HQ. I've seen nfl several times

Just lateralled as a mid level to a biglaw arbitration practice - the team is busy but 2 weeks in most of my work is nonbillable BD related work like helping the partner with RFPs and upcoming webinars. Just wondering whether this is normal as a new lateral and if as a mid level I should expect to get involved with more BD as a general thing even as actual work ramps up. To be clear there are BD managers and practice managers I work with on the pitches so I'm not doing every single thing.

Looking for job change, 15+ years of experience in .Net/C#/Azure. Good DSA/Designing.

Thanks in advance.

What are people’s thoughts on keeping a pulse oximeter at home? Given the gradual hypoxia that develops with covid seems like it could be useful?

Army reservist here, my Sgt just told me the unit is mobilizing under title 10 for Covid related operation. I have seen the group order, however, I’m still waiting for my individual order to be cut. Have you guys ever experienced this situation before? Currently in the process of job hunting and relocation. How would you deal with it?

How’s it going at No Fixed Address? Mischief seems to be doing quite well.

Hi Folks,

Hi fishes, how was the appraisal gods treated you in this cycle?

I have a loop interview with Amazon in two weeks. I have done two loop interviews before but unfortunately didn’t get the job offer. I did prepare more than any other interview(examples for LP’s and watched tons of videos on YT) for the last two times. Given I was not successful, I’m thinking to maybe talk to a online coach to provide some insights. Do you guys think it’s good, if so can you suggest some good ones

So I have a sprained ligament in my hand and need to wear a brace for three weeks. My doctor recommends once it heals, I wear wrist brace/stabilizers when I lift moving forward. Any recos?

Some days, I have to fight the urge to scream at the top of my lungs like a horror movie character

Hi everyone,
I Received a first offer from Deloitte 2 weeks ago that I countered and they accepted to raise it.
The recruiter in charge of my case was on holidays and he came back to work last week.
Sent him two emails asking when I should expect the new set of documents, but no reply until today.
Is this normal? Does a new offer necessarily have to go through the same steps as the first one ? Because I waited 10 days between the verbal offer and the written one for the first time.
Thanks!

Anyone here from BCG Platinion, who can shed some light on the culture/projects/etc..

For those who have been to either/both, if you had the option of spending a weekend in Hamburg or Düsseldorf which would you choose?

Anyone got some ideas for stuff to do between end of current job and start of new one? Feel like covid has sucked my adventure away 🤦‍♀️ and want to do some stuff before things get hectic.

Partners, directors and senior management: when giving an interview, how do you decide whether the candidate is a good fit? Are there things you look out for? I’m deciding between 2 candidates who are both equally qualified and personable. Only looking to hire one. What to do here
