How hard is it to get independent consulting roles. 4Ys tenure and looking to take a break but would be nice to pick up an interesting project or two.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Hi fishes, anyone has idea about Pershing client. Bank of New York Melon

What is dry ice in HCL like what kind of project it is is it good

I am a construction project manager and have managed very high end 40,000 + custom estate projects. I am looking to do residential development projects as well but need a finance partner. If anyone is interested in partnering for projects please contact me. Projects would be self-performed without the need for a GC and various soft costs.

How is Client interview conducted in persistent systems

Hello Fishes

Do you have any idea about xpheno.
I got selected over there for client project.

Client sent over a 90 MB model this evening. Took 10 minutes to open and a fraction of that to crash. Can’t wait for tomorrow 😭

Fellow Big Law colleagues, need help on how to hansle a situation (that shouldn’t even be happening imo).
I used to work for Partner A in project financing and made the internal switch to work in Investment Funds team.
One case with Partner A remained, and though I stayed on, it was mostly to advise in Investment Funds, as he had been looping in another associate from his team.
This week I had to send an e-mail about InvF, and he complained to me that he hadn’t seen the draft…how do I respond?

How hard is a career pivot from digital advertising to a product manager or even developer? I’m learning python 🐍 and at the point where I’m working on a pretty advanced project. I think having technical skills in combination with digital marketing can increase my net worth in the long run .

What are some examples of fun and engaging workshop techniques you’ve done virtually? Looking to try something different in our next upcoming client session.

Any insights on Cloud consultant role in GCP PSO in terms of project pipeline, growth opps , wlb , etc.

Anyone witness slackers who got into companies you have no idea how? Had a coworker who does jack chit at work besides chatting on Facebook yet lands at a faang company? I guess if he brings the same work ethic he will be spit out for sure. Or maybe he just had no interest in doing project work.

Is there a market for lawyers to add expertise In crisis management or reputation management? My goal is to counsel clients on how to respond to media inquiries without saying or posting something detrimental to a potential litigation while still maintaining communication with their client base. If so, how to break into that industry? Courses? Books? Certifications?

Boss is cool giving me some minor additional responsibilities on projects (delegating to other creatives, leading client presentations). How can I parlay this into a promotion to Senior AD? Or ACD?

Hello All,

This is Prasanna Kumar from India. I hope you are doing well :)


Myself and my wife are working in Infosys. She has got a project in Canada. She has raised a dependent Visa for me also in Canada.


If we go there, she will have a work assignment. But I won't have any work assignments in Canada.


My Canada Visa is already in progress. I am looking out for opportunities for Windchill in Canada.


If you can be able to help me with this, It would be a great help for us

New wage code!

Has your CTC been revised according to new wage code ? ie. Min 50% basic ?

What are some of the best consulting firms for digital strategy roles? Looking for a change and was wondering which of the T1/T2 firms have digital practices in Canada. I have applied to ATK and McK. BCG is working to establish their presence in Canada but their team is focused on establishing top down. Bain doesn’t have digital focus. Can anyone shed some light on other T2 firms?

How do you judge if a headline is good or not? When I look at lines, I see an idea there but it’s petty straight forward, so I suggest to the writer to add a twist to it. Cont...

Is it ever possible to transfer to BCG or Bain laterally as a Senior Associate at another (non-mbb) strategy consulting firm? Or is the first year associate role, the only point of entry? Thank you!

Hi folks,

If anyone interested in Capgemini Referral, please let me know

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

Hi fishes how is wlb in mphasis?

Hi Fishes,

I have been offered 37.5 lacs ( fixed ) plus 20% variable for the associate director level . My current fixed CTC is 29 Lacs .

Can you please let me know if this a good offer or I can get more?

Please also let me know what is the salary range for associate directors?

Can anyone give me an idea of how much max compensation Commonwealth offers for a 7.6 yrs exp data engineer.??This will help me to negotiate.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Any technical writers here? Would you mind sharing your salary range? I'm getting an offer and would like to see what's a good salary range.

Hi Fishes,

I need likes to enable the DM. Could you please hit a like ?

Thanks 😊.

Just took this BCG Quant Reasoning test and I think I messed it up. Some of the units are so confusing. Is nearest 000s of pounds 23000 or 23? They don’t partial mark it and the whole test was filled with this sort of thing. Oh well

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

What was the signing bonus for MBA hires that just received offers this fall?

Could someone please comment on first year EM salary at McK? Both base + bonus? I have an offer and wondering if it is at the level of those hired to EM from within.

Have McK phone case coming up, has anyone had feedback on why you haven’t passed? Looking to avoid missteps.

Accepted an offer with BCG! Looking forward to the transition next month. Will be in BCG Federal. Anyone in this bowl also in federal?

I’m exhausted from interviewing and caseing 🥵

Isnit true that McKinsey Canada raised base by 10% for BA1 and BA2?

Fellow MBBers, any of you think the banking raises will trickle over to us (110k starting) or nah?

McK/Bain fish, do you guys get free leatherbound notebooks?

How much does a McKinsey 1 st year partner make?

Is chrome river not working for anyone else? I can’t upload images for some reason

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Anyone willing to offer referral for lateral hire consulting opportunities at MBB. Is it possible to share the profile internally with someone at Partner level for consideration.
12+ yrs experience in strategy, transformation, change, process improvement, cost optimization & analytics. Helped F500 clients on Future of Work & workforce transformation cases in pandemic.

If Kanye becomes president then I can get into MBB. All things are possible.

BCG or McKinsey for consumer goods/retail?

Anyone have a Bain final round recently? Was told that I'd have a fit interview separately from my 2 cases and would love to hear any guidance on types of questions
