Bain & Company I’m from Italy and will start my master’s degree at Oxbridge this fall. I got my undergrad from a target uni in continental Europe. I want to start my career in consulting, possibly MBB, in London. I know consulting firms tend to hire locally but I’d really like to work in London and that’s also one of the main reasons why I went for the Oxbridge degree. Anyone, who might have some tips, or went through a similar experience? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

Hello fishes,
So what is your experience in increasing ECTC while getting subsequent job offers? How much increase shall we ask on top of previous offer? E.g. Current max I have is 25lpa, how much can I ask HR from next company? Infosys Accenture Deloitte KPMG Hashedin by deloitte Nagarro Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies Wipro

Definitely say it. It helps from a D&I perspective.
Typically speaking, each school tends to have D&I targets. So being explicit about it and weaving it into your story, helps with your candidacy. I always say, us minorities tend to have few advantages in the heteronormative world, and we should take advantage of it, where we can
100% say it
There’s not much value to mention that on resume unless you have a leadership’s role in that. You can be self-identified as LGBTQ during the application though which may give you a higher chance of getting an interview but nothing more than that.
OP is involved in activities, so I’d def mention it even if not a leader. I was doing that at Deloitte as a simple member and event organizer and it really created opportunities for conversations.
It also will connect you with LGBTQ+ student groups that will help you through the application / recruiting processes. Many schools will assign you a mentor to help you prep for the school interview and address any questions
Just curious why apply to both?
Also absolutely mention it. HBS for example explicitly states what % of their class identifies as lgbt+
I mentioned it in my application and received questions about it during interviews. Outside of D&I it also shows community involvement which schools look for
Pro
No downside, especially if it’s more than just being a member - e.g. if you helped with D&I recruiting or training etc - definitely mention it.
Community Builder
See if you can connect with folks from their LGBTQ+ groups (e.g GLAM for McKinsey). I know they sometimes offer mentorship to give you extra help during the recruitment process.
If you want to try for MBB after business school, there’s a risk your candidacy won’t be considered again by certain firms in 1 year if you don’t get it this recruiting cycle.

Are you saying they bar people from reapplying for a while?
