I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.

Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

My take is that SMs seem to be the shot callers when it comes to hiring decisions. PPEDs have actual authority but they often times have more casual interviews for fit and vision and leave it up to SMs to ascertain qualifications and capability. So even if a PPED liked you, it’s feasible that they wouldn’t challenge an SM who didn’t think you fit the bill
Coming from someone involved in the process - This is the case sometimes. We have direct input into the process and can make or break the decision. That said there have been multiple cases where we put up major red flags in candidates and the Partner overrules and hires the person anyway. I guess I’m saying that yes the SMs have a lot of say but the Partners make the decision end of the day.
Typical hiring process is the Senior Manager is the first line of defense, then it is pushed forward to their reporting partner, then they take it to their more senior partner boss’ for sign off.
