Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.

Well, it is an acquired firm, McK sometimes doesn't integrate an acquisition fully which means they keep their processes and systems. In another word, it is not the same standard.

No, if you want it and like what you heard (culture/wlb/type of work) then go for it. Don't read in between lines that don't always exist. Might be easy for you and hard for others which is why we want you?

Welcome to the firm, if you accept the offer, and Good luck!

You are getting in before the process gets hard post integration- good tginking

Oh great then 😀

Hi Folks,
I have 3 yoe in Application Security.

I have an offer from
Leadsquared inc for around 17lpa. I am currently working at almost half of the current package.

I dont have any idea like wlb and politics in LeadSquared.

Current increment is due in November but i dont think Synopsys will give 100% increment. At best, my guess they can raise it upto 12-13 lpa.

Is it worth it to go to LeadSquared from Synopsys?
