McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.
Bain & Company Is anyone else getting their application to Bain & Company pushed backed?
As of yesterday, even though I applied in May, and that while they liked my application, they will not be considering me till early 2023.
This is the second time they pushed back their consideration... 😞

What will the project dynamics be on a project staffed with 3mdps, a PL, and myself, a summer UG intern? Just got staffed and will be hearing more on Monday from the team, but it came across as an interesting staffing composition.
Have the feeling I'll be making quite a few slides as the only junior. Anyone staffed on a similar case composition?

You’re fine. I’ve passed people who told a story from high school.
Thank you very much. Ok even if I have work experience?
OP - have you done volunteer work? Leading volunteer efforts are great. They can easily show personal ownership, entrepreneurship, impact, etc.
FWIW my boyfriend just got an offer for the same role and mostly relied on college experiences - though he was insanely involved and had a lot to talk about. If you’re in a similar boat, don’t sweat it too much. You’re already at BCG, clearly not slumming it :)
I think it’s totally reasonable to rely on college stories if you’re still a year or so out. It’s also a COVID year so not like it’s easy to develop virtually, they get that
If you don’t mind me asking why are you making the move from BCG?
OP is in an admin role and honestly it’s much unfortunately much harder to go from a business services roles to traditional consulting track at the firm then it is get a consulting role at BCG
Don’t be afraid to use experiences from college, especially for a business analyst position
Even as an experienced hire? (For context I am not a consultant at bcg)
I interviewed with McK two weeks ago and got the offer as an experienced hire a year and half out of college. 3 out of my 4 stories were from college and in fact they were all from the same extracurricular organization. They were vastly different stories, but point is don’t worry too much about over relying on college experiences as long as you are within two years of having graduated.
