How important are cover letters? I’ve started applying to some jobs but haven’t bothered with any cover letters since I’m not in a rush to leave/have been lazy.

What prompted this is a position at Apple where I have very qualified experience.

They're useless more often that not but you never know when a recruiter/hiring manager would read it and a good letter sets you apart 🤷‍♂️

I stopped using them. I think the age of cover letters is over. Tech companies especially don’t care about cover letters. I noticed some of them don’t even have the option to attach one anymore.

Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

MBB or FAANG (Ops role)? Similar comp structure

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
