I recently completed a UXUI Bootcamp and starting a new career. I feel I have a lot to offer, but also a lot to learn. Are companies willing to hire new Bootcamp graduates? Is there value in applying to large/big 4 type companies or to set my eyes on smaller companies?

Do you have a degree? I personally haven’t used the boot camps but I have a friend who did. She used it to get an internship at Amazon and is now an engineer. I have heard it’s also about your resume and portfolio.

Some are. I would just start applying and see what happens.

I have the same question! I asked on another bowl, so I'll share any wisdoms that come my way ✨

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
