If I have 2 YOE doing CDD at a T2 and looking to move into MBB - can I still apply to generalist consulting? Or would it be easier to break into the PE/CDD practice (McK PEPI, BCG PIPE, Bain PEG) as more relevant exp. (but also more competition and less spaces?)

PE practices do not recruit separately (only expert roles like data science and software engineering do). You will need to apply to generalist consulting.

Not true, very firm and office dependent. But generalist is usually the best route

Generalist

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...
