I’m getting ready for my first telephonic Case Management Conference as a first year associate. I’ve never been “in front” of a judge before. I received some training and I look forward to the experience, but I’m a little nervous about having to speak in front of the judge. I know the case, but I’m afraid I’ll freeze and make a fool of myself. Any advice re: court calls, courtroom etiquette, or stories about your first times in front of judges?

Raises are between 7 and 15%. For just about everyone at every level at every company, depending on performance of you and your service line. You can all shut the hell up now.

I’ve seen a lot of recruiters recently trying to hire for advisory consulting firms that claim they do the work that Big 4 can’t because of independence issues. Does anyone think these types of firms are sustainable or will big 4 find a way around the independence restrictions and take this work back?

Anyone hire aresume writer? Thoughts on doing so?

Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Was considering to invest also in an insurance, but is apparently not possible if you live abroad and then maybe go back to the home country.

Have any tips?

Would going to accounting advisory or finance in industry or Ops at a big bank be a better option for career?

I’m going to graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in the spring. The current company I work for has no future for me unfortunately so I would love to start applying for engineer positions elsewhere as soon as possible. When should a new grad start job hunting?

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

Have McK phone case coming up, has anyone had feedback on why you haven’t passed? Looking to avoid missteps.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Watched the first episode of the Terminal List on prime last night. I was totally blown away and 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to watch episode 2!

A part of me hopes that Zuck decides who to cut based on their metaverse activity levels.

Books to learn more about how to drive sales in consulting? Any recommendations?

Is Accenture > BIG4?

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

The project manager and recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and suggested to apply for a opening position as they thought I was fit for this position, filled up all the application and later the same recruiter reached out saying they are moving forward with other candidates 🤦‍♂️ why waste people’s time?

I just called the pandemic a panini DURING an interview.. Aw hell😭😂

Are companies looking to hire more minorities and people who identify as LGBTQ+? I saw a post about a job listing for a Big 4 and it said it had a strong preference for people who identify as LGBTQ+ or a minority racial group. Does this mean they have a higher chance of getting the job? Not trying to start any political debates, I’m just generally curious.

Hiring manager adds you on LinkedIn a few hours after your final interview with their leader - good sign?!

Stupid question: do you get to alt-travel? Not fly home to your home office on the weekends, but use that budget to fly somewhere else?

Please help! I have 2 great offers! 1 for Exec director at a tier 1 US IB, another for an SM role at big 4. Which one would you fishes take?

When you talk in American accent with recruiters, do they still ask “if you need visa sponsorship”? Can any recruiter chime in please? Are they trained to tell if anyone is potentially “international” candidate, hence asking the question selectively at their discretion?

Why does the referrers’ level not matter at McKinsey? Should getting a manager’s referral matter to me or should I go for my friend who has 1 YOE as a BA? I heard that only partner level can actually help you get an interview everything else is almost useless.

What is the new 100k? People often talk about breaking six figures, but that was many years ago. What is the new number now?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time.

I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.
