Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I’ve spoken to people at all the MBBs and here’s some thoughts-
1) BCGers have been the friendliest and happiest personality wise
2) McKinsey folks have been helpful but to the point, objective
3) Bain folks have also been helpful but maybe a little bit in between 1) and 2)

Thoughts? Does this reflect the general people culture of each firm or am I misreading the cues?

3. No unsolicited messages to people that received offers for a free case session
