I just changed job and am planning to do so again.
I’m not sure how would I explain my risks in the applications. All of these jobs are in different industries and I am switching to gain some perspective.
I’ll be applying next year, and the thought that I might be ruining my B school admits scares me.
Should I try ending up at MBB to add some credibility by the time of application?

Hi there! What do you ask during informational interviews? I have one coming up and I’d love a job there, but it’s a casual conversation with the head of design. Would love the hive mind’s advice on interesting questions. I’m terrible at small talk, and really want to get better at networking. Thank you!

Applying to OW - can anyone share interview process and tips?

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!!!

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

Looking at a Facebook people strategy role and wondering if I’d have a higher chance at getting a first round interview if I was referred by a FB recruiter in a different department? I have another friend who is a FB benefits manager but he says 9/10 referrals of his don’t get one. Thoughts?

I’ve been trying to exit consulting for almost a year now. I’ve gotten a couple of interviews but no offers. I’m hopeless at this point 😔

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

Hi folks, any idea about the current hiring process for an experienced hire at big4? I meant in terms of total duration.

Quick one, Is it okay to always ask for time to collect thoughts before answering questions during case interviews or should we shoot from the hip? I stutter naturally so speaking without a bit of time to collect thoughts can be hard.

How do physical science PhDs fair in applying to and receiving offers from MBB?

How do they do once they are there? Do they struggle to make the transition?

How long does the interview process take for Bain? It’s been a week since the practice case walkthrough and I’ve heard nothing back, and I reached out to the recruiter a day after the practice interview. Getting a little nervous

Hi,
Quick question: Do you think is it fine to be asked for preparing an outline for marketing plan as an assessment test so, employer decide if you will be the right fit for position ?

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Hi guys, I have a interview in PwC India for Tech Consulting role. Director have asked me to present 2 slides PPT on topic relevant to Consulting.

Ive been practicing in TX for 2-3 years at a big law firm doing mostly bankruptcy work (and some trial) and looking to clerk at a bankruptcy court in SDNY/DDE/EDVA (I am well aware of how great the SDTX judges are but I am set on leaving Texas). Anyone familiar with how many apps these judges normally get or what makes candidates stand out? Are these judges generally not interested in someone who has practiced in a different market?

I’m looking to take some certificate classes. Can anyone point me in the right direction for affordable online classes?

Thoughts on Mindshare Chicago?

I have anxiety problems. Even the things that don’t matter much give me anxiety. Like I stress about keeping my salad waiting when sweetgreen notified me my order was ready for pickup.

One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

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.)
