Would it surprise you to hear that the exit opps are at CPG companies or retailers?

Case interviews are pretty standard, but much less rigorous on average than other firms. Culture is terrible as we a just a DD sweatshop. Nothing to get excited about on exit opportunities

What level

M1 - No
D1 - Associate

I interviewed with them while in B school. First hour was spent in a conference room. They gave me a prompt and a preprinted deck with charts / graphs and some markers and pens to add appropriate headlines and marks on the graphics themselves. I was given an hour to do this and the next 45 min was spent presenting this to a partner. This was followed by 2-3 other interviews, some with verbal case questions but mostly behavioral based

PWC1 is spot on for post mba. I don’t think the written/verbal case is given to associates.

If you ace the cases and are friendly, you should do well.

Just to add - if I recall the level of quant questions is more complicated at LEL vs. elsewhere

We’re asked to make up our own case questions. One quant and one qual. I think the difficulty will depend on who you’re interviewing with.

Sorry, I meant LEK - was very drunk when I wrote that typo lol

Can’t you get into Corp dev from DD?

Why not?

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work?
