Hey guys! What is the standard CTC for a non-qualified in Big 4 currently with 5 years of experience?

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Which recruiters do you all find have the best connections to in-house job opportunities? I am DONE with agency life. TIA!

What are some things to focus on in writing a cover letter? This would be for an Associate level position. I imagine it should be different than for an entry level role?

How long is the typical wait to hear back about a job offer/no offer after a final round interview?

Has anyone purchased the courses from Product Alliance? Particularly the mock interview resources...? Thoughts?

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

Hi Fishes,

Yesterday I attended MS hackerrank test and was able to solve some Java based MCQ and one sql query correctly but not able to execute a code with any passed test case so should I expect a call from a recruiter for an interview?

Please suggest any referral everything will help as i m trying to setup my career in IT field. Thanks

Would it be out of line during interviews to ask about agency revenue/growth or account health/trends?

Is the CPA required at non-Big 4 for FDD/TAG? If it's required, what level is it needed at?

How important are snapshots in pwc and how to handle them

How long do pwc take to schedule an interview. It’s been a week since I sent them my availability

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Any recommendations for a good lawyer? My wife got a job, but her employer is too slow to file 30% ruling. I would like to file by myself. Any tips for self filing or a referral for a lawyer is useful.

Is the appraisal done?

Cisco

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hi Guys,

How's the work culture and job security in citi. I got an offer as a Salesforce developer.

I don’t see the point in paying the IRS for crypto when we have a president who won’t release his tax returns. Only thing I’m truly angry about right now. Not this shit, sinking market - the feds!

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

How long it takes to get laptop from pune office.
I need to go on 1st sept.

Smart people who know about technology: 🙏🏼 I want to get 11.5-14 inch monitor to add to my (1) laptop and (2) second monitor.

I’m worried about the monitor having a high “processor” and slowing down all my programs (including the program I use to login to my office desktop). Can someone point me to a monitor that may work?

Recent laterals - have you been integrating well into your new teams? I lateraled into a V20 corporate group a month ago but still feel like I’m just existing at this point. I haven’t been that busy and haven’t formed any relationships with the partners or associates yet. Is this just what the ramp up period is like while remote? Would love to hear your experiences.

I joined Accenture few days back as level 9. Till now didn't get any project. I have one more offer from another company and have not told them that I joined Accenture.
Should I wait for Accenture to allot me project or shall I abscond?
I am worried since I joined Accenture as level 9 team lead and what if they fire me? Or map to some irrelevant project?

Any advice on where to find the best “profile guides” for the top MBA programs? I find that the school descriptions on poets and quants are a bit outdated.

Is the UI of the gmat official practice exams the same as the official test?

Has anyone here applied and went through with one of the various deferred enrollment programs at T10/M7 Schools? Can you explain how the process went?

Why does Stanford GSB ask if any ‘close relatives’ are also applying for the same MBA class? Would a cousin count and should I disclose this information, or will it factor against me?

What are the best resources for learning about the types of stories that each of the top MBA schools’ admissions committees most like to see?

For the Wharton app, what do you mention for professional awards? Can I mention “above average annual performance reviews and salary bonus”?? Thoughts??

Anyone's GSB Portal who doesn't have the Waitlist Tab now? Maybe a botched update? Hearing people in a few different stages of their application with the tab? It has a View Decision button, which just says no decision when picked. If everyone has it, probably a botched update!

What are my chances at M7?

White male, 3.6 GPA at top public school (like UVA), 700 GMAT, 3.5 years work experience (2y in big 4 MC, 1.5y in corp dev), letter of rec from HBS grad CFO of my company.

Pros and cons for LBS/INSEAD Vs US B-schools?

Should you have your recommender mention specific future career titles in the letter? My recommender did and I’m wondering if its okay to ask to them to leave it vaugue as my essays are slightly diff

I see a lot of the applications state that (in the event you can’t take the GMAT due to COVID) a minimum GMAT score will be required if admitted as stated in the admissions letter. Any guesses on what a minimum GMAT score would be for M7?

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Genuinely curious question: why do so many international students want to get MBAs in the US... it’s hard for them to get work here, with Trump it’s hard to even get and stay here, so what’s the appeal? There are plenty of other good universities internationally so why the expensive ones in the US?

Least arrogant/pretentious top MBAs?

Anyone heard of/done the PowerMBA? How was it? Was it worth it? Should I just go to proper b school, overpricing & all...?

I got an offer from HBS and Wharton last year. GMAT: 740. Background: male, top 20 state school. I was at big 4 at the time. Applied R2. AMA. Good luck to everyone!

Sponsored folks, where do you plan to intern during bschool?
