How much does networking at information sessions or coffee chats make a difference in getting an MBB interview? I’m at a target and plan to apply for analyst positions. Do they take notes or rate us?

Very new to being headhunted by recruiters on LinkedIn, should I be concerned with sending recruiters my resume or anything along those lines if they’ve messaged me?

What's the most difficult question you've had to answer for a consulting job?

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

Had my first round of interview with Google. It’s almost a week but I haven’t gotten any feedback. Is that the normal practice?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Interviewing for an SE position and have my final demo in a few weeks. Any trailhead modules I should check out to get more prepared/confident? Thank you in advance!

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?

What are some red flags you've noticed in the hiring process? I've finally landed an interview after weeks of applying. I think it went well on my end, but something about the managers I spoke with just feels...off.

Do schools keep track of how many times you reschedule an interview?

Any good resume writers/designers. Bought a service through LinkedIn once and it ended up horribly

Can anybody please help me to refer against the Job No: 668282?

Many thanks in advance!

How do you lead a morally fulfilling life while being in this industry? I’ve been battling with this question as of late.

Does anyone else smoke sheesha regularly? I’ve got a nasty habit of doing this every weekend. Wondering if it’s bad for health

I just started a new job and am about to be 36. I want to start a family but I feel like I should be waiting due to this new job. However I don’t want to miss out. I’m thinking about freezing my eggs

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me about the deputy manager band 2 profile in icici bank..
What kind of work it has??
Do we get team or individually have to do sales??

Hello fishes, recently I have applied for the role of pre-sale consultant in TCS. I have 2.5 YOE of IT pre-sales. My current CTC is 3LPA what should be my expected salary. If someone can let me know the salary bracket for the same role.

Took five days off. Came back to no meetings before 10am AND zero fires to put out. Regardless of what you think, your team can likely function a few days without you with the proper OOO plan. Take the time, get sane, work is not everything.

Thoughts on Wpromote?

I almost had a policy I wrote replaced by basically the same coverage but at a higher premium because the other agent grossly misrepresented their product. Feels good to cause a scammer to get a CB.

Hello I have given Last round of knowledge management associate profile. When can we expect the results ?
Does ZS send rejection mail also ?

Hi. Can someone please tell me what is the salary of an Associate consultant for a homegrown associate.

How do you know you’re a good designer? I get most of my ideas from being inspired by other work and just creating what I feel looks good. I know how to use design programs. But, I don’t know if that’s enough.

Anyone still using avid on commercials? In NY it seems to be 100% premiere now

Deloitte Switzerland went bankrupt a few years ago. UK partners bought out the company in order to rescue….of course they establish their own people as they are now the owners. Now we have British partners running the Swiss office. No issues there. But there is an exodus of people leaving to rival firms. Either too much English or they don’t like the new work culture….:( not sure what is not to like about Deloitte though

London vs NY in terms of career opportunities?

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

I have an undergrad degree in economics and want to pursue biotech/pharma corporate development. Are there any classes / degrees /certifications you would recommend to help make up for the lack of a technical science background?

Hiring manager adds you on LinkedIn a few hours after your final interview with their leader - good sign?!

A part of me hopes that Zuck decides who to cut based on their metaverse activity levels.

Is it worth going to Wharton (or any M7, for that matter) for MBA? Got a deferred acceptance, but now am reconsidering due to opportunity cost, and I’m skeptical that it would help me get somewhere I otherwise couldn’t.

Part of the reason why I applied in the first place was to shut my parents up about me not going to a top school 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

Hotels in NYC for this weekend that don’t have bed bugs?

How often do you feel like you have no idea what your peers or supervisor are talking about?

I eventually catch up, but there's times I really have no idea what they're referring to. They could be speaking in another language for all I know.

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

What is the new 100k? People often talk about breaking six figures, but that was many years ago. What is the new number now?

The project manager and recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and suggested to apply for a opening position as they thought I was fit for this position, filled up all the application and later the same recruiter reached out saying they are moving forward with other candidates 🤦‍♂️ why waste people’s time?

Is it normal for managers/project leads to request a 3 month notice if you want to leave your project and join another one? My project does this and I think it’s absurd.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Does EY track browsing history on computers? I’m asking just to know if we use company devices for personal use such as gmail/YouTube/Netflix/online banking, would they know or care?

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.
