McKinsey & Company Any advice to help prepare for data science analyst role at top consulting firms (McKinsey & Company EY Boston Consulting Group etc)? Any materials, open source platform recommended to take on freelance data science project? When should I start actively looking and applying? I am a new grad who is working in tech as a marketing analyst I’m looking to pivot to marketing& sales data science consulting next year. Would like someone with similar backgrounds offer some practical tips.
I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

A question that has stumped me in interviews is “what questions do you have for us?” or “what would you like to know about our firm?” so thinking of some questions along that line in advance may come in handy. But I’ve also been told better not to ask too much about job benefits or salary until you have an offer, so keep that in mind too.
I lateraled as a third year and was a little surprised at how many substantive questions I got in interviews. Not that you need to study up ahead of time but just be prepared to discuss substantive points about matters you’ve worked on. It’s definitely a different experience than OCI interviews asking you what you do for fun.
Yep, I’ll echo what the other associate said — if you’re getting hired for your expertise/ experience in a particular area make sure you can talk about what knowledge you have, past cases (at a high-level), etc. I also lateraled recently and this was a big talking point with many.
I interviewed after 4 yrs at my old firm and what I remember was the interviewer asking what sort of projects I've worked on and she just asked questions based on my answers. So my advice would be, don't lie about the sort of projects or industries you've worked on/with coz then you might get quizzed haha
I had a few lateral interviews where the opening question was, “what questions do you have for me?” The first time, it caught me by surprise. Have a list of canned questions you can rattle off.
The question about "what questions do you have for us?" is so important. Most obviously, it allows you to find out information that isn't in the job posting or even the employee handbook - ask what their partnership track looks like, what business development activities associates are involved in, etc. The other benefit to asking questions is it shows your interest in the firm. If someone I interview doesn't have questions for me, I assume they're just interviewing anywhere and hoping some place will stick. Ask good questions! And good luck. :)
