A junior associate at big law here. When you get emails from recruiters asking for a call to discuss new opportunities, do you respond declining or do you just not respond? What’s the norm? Do you respond to cold emails?

Super important topic - What RU wearing to your Christmas party. I’ve been seeing pics of guys in suits and women in gowns this year.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

My head is beginning to not hurt and that worries me. I am used to banging it against a wall the entire day (theoretically). I work with people that I struggle to communicate with and/or they are extremely uneducated about various things that I used to think were the basics. I grew up poor and paid for everything myself; Money drives me. Where do I even begin to look to know what I should be doing?Sales is too easy, I need a challenge. I am good at inventing solutions. Ideas?

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

Good answer for “what motivates you” for MBB interview without the mention of 💵

Applied to Bain as an experienced hire through a referral on 10/4. No word back yet - heard that 10/10 was some sort of deadline. Any thoughts on the timeline?

Does MBB accept applications where you don’t have an undergrad?

Are ppl worried about being on the bench esp when there aren’t a lot of projects in the pipeline? New hire here about to be up for staffing for the first time and sentiment at my firm seems to be worried/fearful about being unstaffed. Is it actually worrisome to be on the bench in this environment or is this just a product of highly ambitious over achievers worrying about not being constantly utilized?

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

Has anyone left an integrative MBB role for a more technical data science role? Has that helped increase the comp/wlb ratio?

For fish in Europe, BCG Principal or Bain Associate Partner ?

McKinsey 🐠 I have a 30 min phone screen for a role in McKinsey’s Technology & Digital practice. What can I expect to come up and what can you guys tell me about T&D that I should know ahead of time? TYIA!

Made the pivot from Big 4 to Bain and frankly underwhelmed. Seems like Bains Ops capabilities / general knowledge resources / white papers are lagging the industry quite a bit. Miles behind BCG / McKinsey as well. Literally only good for PE and nothing else.

So what’s the new McK comp breakdown?

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 :)
