How long does Alvarez & Marsal take after final interviews to extend or decline an offer?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

Have you ever taken a counter offer? How did that go for you? Just turned my notice in and my boss (who is great) instantly said she wants to counter.

I heard rumours Skip Williamson (founder of Partners in Performance) is the world’s richest consultant because she holds all the equity in her firm - making somewhere north of $30M. Is this true?

Hi all! I will potentially get an offer from LEK and/ or Clearview healthcare soon and would like to start deciding which is best for me. Which do you all think would be best in terms of versatility of projects and exit opportunities, culture and overall experience at the firm? And why? Thanks for the help!

If an industry employer told me they would make a decision within 7-10 days of my interview, and yesterday was the 10th day but I didn’t hear anything. Is it safe to assume I did not get the job?

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

I would gladly take a head of local bank branch or something as the culmination of my career but I fear that dream is too 1950s

How comfortable/confident do you feel in the job descriptions you’re applying for? Something like partnerships/sales operations/etc where you might have complementary skills from consulting but not direct experience in that role? Feel like nothing fits my experiences perfectly

How does search work at McKinsey? If it’s up to x weeks paid to find a job, how will they know if I’ve already accepted an offer? I’m trying to strategically declare search so I can have a backup offer and use my time to find something better, but I want to make sure that I don’t get in trouble lol. It’s also difficult to multitask finding a job and working on studies since you’re around the clock.

I want to get a job at BCG. Any recommendations on how to accomplish or anyone I can have a conversation with to understand the process?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I’m starting my exit from Deloitte after 2 years here doing Salesforce implementations, and about 4 years prior to that of more Salesforce implementations. I’ve realized that I love receiving quick/frequent feedback, I prefer to have my compensation correlate to how hard I work, and like working closely with people. I don’t see myself in my managers shoes or becoming more technical. Any thoughts on roles/paths I should pursue? Any opinions would be very helpful!

Is chasing promotion is a losing game? Is it better to get the experience I need for the exit instead of just killing myself doing everything the firm wants me to do so they can consider promoting me?
