Interviewing with Amazon for a finance role. People say they’ll run you to the ground there. True? Do people get to work from home?

I’ve heard that and have friends that have agreed but with like anything, including consulting, it can depend on group/team/location/boss. Ask around during your interviews with different employees there to understand what the culture is like and what the expectations are for people in the role you’re applying.

Second M1, but yes mostly true on the work culture

I’ve also heard similar things, but it may appear to be more peer driven than directly manager driven. Ie some time ago a competitive culture was established and people started working late to get ahead or just not fall behind. Eventually this became the norm so no one wanted to appear to be the slacker. Definitely ask around though, nothing to lose

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?

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.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
