I'm a first year MBA candidate, interested in moving into Consulting. I got my rejection letter from BCG today for the summer internship role. I thought I did a fairly decent job of networking with a number of consultants in the local office and had some quality conversations, and did fairly well on the online assessment too. Would it be appropriate to reach out to the recruiting team to get some feedback on how to improve for the full time recruiting season?

Yes of course! It can't hurt. If any consulting jobs at Deloitte interest you, I would be happy to refer you too.

Thanks a lot for the offer. I'm an international student and Deloitte doesn't sponsor internship opportunities for international students. However, I would definitely love to talk with you for full time opportunities and any advice that you might have.

I believe I can't DM you here. What's a good way to reach out to you?

Of course, why not? It will help you improve yourself. They will be able to point out areas that you need to develop to be better. There's no harm on trying.

Of course. I also do the same. That way, you'll be able to improve yourself and at the same time, show others how determined you are.

Good morning all I hope all is well. Just wanted to pick your brains with a question. Cloud Engineer Bootcamp vs Self Study for Certifications vs Getting a Masters in Cloud Computing. Say the person is currently a Help Desk Support staff.

I'm asking for a friend that posed the question to me so I wanted to get others perspectives.

Say the focus is AWS and the individual has a Bachelor's in Computer Science. Which do you recommend that they go into now?

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?

I've said I'll think about it and hope they raise the offer again.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
