How beneficial is a senior partner referral at MBB? Tier 1 city for discussion purposes. Trying to gauge whether it’s an automatic interview like some firms, or if it’s only a small factor.

I’d guess automatic first round interview but then you are on your own.

Yep, point about being on your own afterwards is 100% true

I have a friend with no experience, random no target state school who got MBB interviews in NYC bc a cold email to a partner led to a referral.

I'd say extremely beneficial probably automatic interview.

In my experience, depends on how emphatic the referral is.

A forwarded cold email — not particularly helpful. Them walking over to the head of recruiting in the office and telling them “This kid is great! We have to interview them” gets an interview

Yeah, I think it would be an automatic first round interview

Is anyone willing to consider hiring a content strategist/copywriter/CX expert? I'm desperate to leave a job that ended up being a bait and switch.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
