How important is your local office network for promotion to PL post-MBA at Boston Consulting Group? Can you get promoted even if most or all of your work is in projects from other offices?

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

Received AD from NYU Stern Tech MBA. The deposit is due in 2 weeks. Interviewed with Kellogg 1Y as well and waiting for decision. Definitely prefer Kellogg. Should I contact K for their decision?

Targeting 2022 matriculation and will be recruiting for tech. Currently at IBM tech consulting and have an offer to lateral to non-D big 4 tech advisory. What’s the best move for both MBA application and MBA recruiting - stay or leave? TIA.

I am looking for a referral in IBM for Business Transformation Consultant role. I am pursuing MBA from Tier 1 Bschool. And I have 3y8m of pre MBA of work experience.
Please help me with this.

Looking to leave Strategy&. MBA/MPH with 8 years of consulting/product management experience, primarily in the provider space. Let me know if you’re aware of any opportunities! Thank you!

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?

Does anyone else here work at a hotel front desk? How long did it take to get a promotion?

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

Anyone have or know where I can get this book for 2021

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That is all.

I'll be completing 24 months at level12 on sept 30.

Just got an offer from PwC for 47.5K for SA role in Manchester. Feels kinda low considering everyone just got a 7%+ pay raise. Can anyone comment if this is in line or not? I was told this would put me above the SA band

I am a recent grad(Finance), and my MBA school is not a named institute like Stanford. I would want to work for a consulting co. who is heavily involved in Finance. Can you help me create a roadmap from where should I start? What are top finance business consulting companies and how to get there? My undergrad was in science.

Does any BTECH + MBA grad regret doing MBA 😂

I would never regret though, but dayuuuuuuym?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

I have a senior business process manager interview next week, any tips? It requires 4 hour long interviews in which one is a business case study. What would you recommend while I am prepping?

Director of sales looking to move into a remote (WFH). The quality of life was so much better during the pandemic that I do not have an interest in going back to the way it was (current company's stance). Any ideas on suitable roles as most sales director jobs require travel?

Thank you

Question: I am pro choice but only up to the end of the 2nd trimester. I think after that, it's getting to gray territory that I can't support. My friends say this a really anti feminist view. What am I doing wrong?

If Trump and McConnell are successful, Democrats should just pack the court assuming they win house and Senate. There’s no reason not to at this point.

Any advice with anxiety before calls/door pulling? Never happened before but it’s crippling now.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

Am I horrible wife if I don’t get my husband anything for his bday. I have no idea what to get it’s too stressful. He always gets me stuff.

Today I was walking back to the hospital from my car some random guy came up to me and asked me for directions while I was still in the lot. I'm new so I told him I didn't know and he literally cussed me out in the parking lot and told me I was a horrible nurse and he was going to get me fired. Meanwhile I am a PHARMACIST. And before you ask yes he was.

How long does it take to hear back from McKinsey after applying for an experienced position? I applied on 3.11 and haven’t heard back and the status says in progress. Is that a bad sign? TIA

Is DC a competitive office to get into for McKinsey?

Networking: I’m trying to build a network with MBB employees but I’m searching for roles in another country where I’ve got minimal school connections. Should I start by building a network in my home country and ask them if they can put me in touch with someone in my target location? Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!

Can someone help with a referral in Bain for SA opening

If you crushed your first two interviews, but did not too stellar on the third, will you get rejected?

Looking to move to BCG from Bain with ~1 year Bain exp and ~ 1 year industry

Has anyone done the move? How did you apply and how has it been?

Hello everyone! I would like to apply to MBB as an experienced hire from big 4 for a post MBA position. Do you think this is a good time to apply or I should wait given the economic situation? Thank you for your answer :)

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

BCG or McKinsey for consumer goods/retail?

Does anyone have recommendations on a good coach for case practice? Looking to do maybe 2-3 sessions (I'm currently at intermediate level) and looking for someone that's not very pricey. Thanks!

What buckets would you generally use for cases?

Are all cases at McK the same? Or is McK RTS / Transformation group likely to give you a different case??

Any bcg first rounders heard back today? When was your interview?
