If you think putting an application together is a potential waste, you’re not going to make it through the interview process…

That's definitely fair and very thoughtful of you (and a very Comms manager appropriate response lol).

Perhaps the best person to advice would be the recruiter you mentioned, they would have a direct view of what's going on in the office that you're applying to.

Definitely no harm reaching out to have a chat with them.

These pay lifts probably aren’t much better than inflation and these firms are competing with tech and finance for the top candidates. Their entire brand is around having the best so they will forever have to pay top market prices.

...and? So they need a comms manager.....How urgently do they need that though really? How many projects will that role be a thing? Most likely they will wait around for a unicorn candidate and pay well then, but don't think companies plan to actually fill all the roles they post.

Firms have that approach for a lot of roles, niche or not.

Our hiring is still in full speed. If the posting is there, we are looking for that role so there’s no harm in applying. We take a through-cycle approach to economic downturns to ensure we can develop our people to serve clients once demand picks back up again.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Are Tuck and Darden really much better for consulting than other schools? Yeah they have that rep but it seems they have more students recruit for MBB so overall success rate into these firms isn’t much higher than other schools.
