Interviewing at Kearney and BCG, but currently on maternity leave at Deloitte until mid-Oct. Should I tell the recruiters now that I would need a delayed start date or leave that to negotiations if I get an offer? Would happily start sooner but D’s policy says I need to wait 30 days after returning from mat leave or I might have to “pay back” the benefit.

I’d wait until you get the offer. Kearney is pretty flexible on the start dates from my experience so most likely wouldn’t be a problem

Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
