I was laid off 6 weeks ago and I'm freaking out! Who is hiring in LA?

Anyone know when FDD/Deal Advisory hiring will slow down? I want to wait until I get my annual rating back (I’ll be rated tier 1 or 2) and pass my cpa exams (only BEC left) to make my profile more competitive. I also have a rotation coming up in CMAAS (advisory) which should also help. But im scared of waiting too long to apply and missing out on the hiring frenzy that’s been going on. Any thoughts?

I currently work in Tech Consulting on the software implementation side with 2 YOE.

I applied for few SA roles at AWS after getting the SAA certificate and some badges like the “WAF” and “Advanced Migration”. I also optimized my resume recently trying to match what AWS would look for, but I did not get any 1st call or screening interview!

I had a final interview yesterday and the recruiter sent a follow up the next day to have a final conversation with the hiring manager for 20-30min to clear up any questions from both sides that we might have. I don’t want to get my hopes up but does this sound like a job offer?

Any advice for how to respond to the interview question that I've received a lot and not answered well IMO "this job is tough. Long hours. How do you plan on coping when times get really tough?"

I say
-support system (family)
-keeping long term goal in mind. With a why you can survive any how
-part of the process

Don't love my answer though any advice appreciated. These are for PE/IBD/Consulting roles

Hi eveyone! Welcome to the best kept secret west of the Mississippi:)

Is it best to wait for background check to clear before giving notice?

I had planned to take a week off between jobs and now it looks like that week will be gone if I keep waiting to hear back from the background check.

Any bad experiences with background not clearing and being left without a job after the two weeks are up?

Please feel free to post any question regarding any firm - we all understand how daunting it can be leaving your comfort zone and join another firm - I am sure there must be someone in the community who can advise you on your potential new role. Please invite others to this bowl if you know they are in a similar situation!

Hello everyone,

How would you answer the question Why McKinsey in the Middle East in interviews?
To me, it does not seem straight-forward.
For instance, international staffing, McKinsey’s most distinctive feature does not really exist in the Middle East. Consultants must work in the Middle East first and can only work from time to time out of the region as opposed to other offices which are more open.
Thanks!

Do any of you have experience with pushy coworkers? The kind who won't let you do anything without them "helping" even after you say "I've got this"? I can handle stocking the shelves by myself. So frustrating
