Bain & Company Got dinged after a final round AC interview with Bain & Company as an experienced hire with 1 YOE. Currently at $75k base salary and on average work 30-40 hours a week.
Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?

Although many people say the opposite, we live in a society where a large part of it wants to help others, and even more so if they are like us trying to develop research to improve things on the planet, I always invite people to be my test subjects and got a great response.
Marketing and advertising for the research study online through social media is becoming huge. Advertise the incentive for time with monetary compensation, this is usually what will get people to participate. Here’s some feedback as well with an article, you’ll have to look into what your local/ central IRB agreed upon as well with the ethics committee.

Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing!!
Money is the only incentive that has no buts.
Can't argue with that I suppose
In my case, I make presentation tours, where I explain the objective of my research and its scope, many people related to the discipline support it, and others simply do not.
It depends on the type of tests, if they are surveys it is much easier, but if the subject has to test a product it is a little more complicated, you almost always have to offer money.
The best offer is offering money, but you can always try to convince people as long as it is a noble investigation, something that helps society.
It can be difficult to find test subjects for research projects, especially if the study requires a commitment of time or if the study is confidential. In some cases, researchers may be able to find willing participants through online advertisements or by word-of-mouth. However, many researchers find it helpful to offer incentives to potential participants in order to increase the likelihood that they will participate in the study. Some common incentives include gift cards, cash prizes, and participation in the study's findings.
When looking for test subjects, I like to offer incentives like gift cards or cash. This helps ensure that I get people who are willing to participate in my study and also helps to ensure that they are motivated to do their best.
One way to find test subjects for your research project is by word of mouth. This can be a great way to incentivize people to participate in your study. You could offer a prize such as a gift card or merchandise prize to the winner of the contest.
Money works best, I have noticed a new tendency for companies to give amazon vouchers. Its alright for some but I had a tendency to use the money dor petrol.
It depends on the demographic of your research subjects. Younger adults you can reach through social media. If you want a lot of data points very quickly for certain things you can recruit through Amazon mechanical Turk. Older adults or select populations you may need to formulate partnerships with groups or organizations that interact more with your populations of interest. If you’re recruiting for a clinical study, a hospital system might be a good opportunity to work with. If you’re doing community based research you’re going to want to reach out to leaders in the community. If you are looking to get representative survey data you could work with one of the institutions who do research panels and just pay for access to their subjects (e.g research match). Gift cards are nice but only relevant to some people. Preloaded debit cards are nice but they come with a lot of extra fees on the back end. Many academic institutions won’t let you just give people cash so gift cards are the sweet spot.
