I recently graduated with a degree in graphic design and feel very scared and confused on what my next steps are looking like. I came out of college in a better situation than some of my classmates with having been fortunate enough to have an internship and gain experience. But I am still stuck in this internship with each entry level job I see wanting the work of five designers put into one with already 3-5 years experience out of college. I know I should be optimistic but I feel stuck

Hiya!

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in. 

Any tips on getting a great internship? Starting a masters in global management near the US-Mexico Border. Reached out to several chambers of commerce on both sides. Any consulting firms which deal with this sort of work?

Hi Everyone,

I got placed in @Capgemini from my College as Analyst Differential Role with a CTC of 5.75LPA(5.5+25k). They told they would provide internship but I haven't received any communication as of now from them.

Currently a MS finance student. Recently secured a year long internship with the Federal Reserve researching commercial banking conditions. The role is tech heavy (python, R, Sql etc ) What kind of roles can I look into in the event there’s isn’t a return offer? Thanks

Can intern salary predict full time salary? I’ll be making 24/hr this summer 36/hr overtime.

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

I’m so glad I found this bowl. As an intern, I’m seeking guidance on how to take on this industry while still being true to who I am. Thank you all for your daily encouragement.

Hi Fishes,
After one year of internship in Intel, what CTC can I expect if I try to switch to other companies (Qualcomm,Nvidia......etc.)

Finally landed a summer internship. To the 1Y fish still grinding, don’t lose hope!

I'm an immigrant from Brazil and I'm evaluating my civil engineering degree and starting from scratch.
I did internship in civil engineering during the entire period of college and worked another year after graduating, which totaled 6 years of experience. I would like to know how the job market is like for immigrants in the field of civil engineering in the US and what advice would you give to someone who is starting over and improving in this area?

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.

Does the current GSAP agreement say that if you intern at another consulting company it 100% certain that sponsorship is lost? Or does it say “may” impact sponsorship?

I’m reading a GSAP letter from 2018 and in this version it says “may impact”

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
