How difficult is it to break into Bain Ny from a school on the west coast (non Stanford)? If i do well on the first round and get past it, will there still be a possibility I get turned down for an interview for my final round?

Once you get an interview, your school & background doesn’t matter haha...they use those filters before offering first round interviews. So if you get “past” the first case round, you get a final round...you get “past” the final round, you get an offer.

Bain is super regionally organized, so it can be tough to get into the office that isn’t recruiting at your school. I don’t work at Bain, but that was my experience during my process with them.

OP your school is likely connected to an office who is responsible for recruiting from it.

I have been on a planned personal sabbatical this year pursuing personal interests. Now I’m ready to go back to work. I will have next week the second interview with an exec recruiter for a company for a Director level position reporting to the COO of the company. In addition to having relevant experience and accomplishments handy, I would appreciate any pointers for having a good interview at this level.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Hi Everyone,

Here is the situation:

Review season is going on in my company and my manager is offering me salary of just below 20LPA.

Now the problem is that he is based out of US and he is dependent on data which Indian HR provides him regarding market salary info.

I had a discussion with him and convinced him to increase this if I provide the data and prove that I am being paid less.

Can someone suggest where I can find the actual data regarding avg salary info for a PM.
