Yes I’m officially a Bain employee and have updated my resume accordingly

Everyone keeps talking about this, but the facts are wrong, and it keeps getting blown out of proportion.

What actually happened is that, given McKinsey’s recent fall from grace, ZS has stepped in to fill the void at the top. Bain reached out about a potential merger right after. I doubt a merger will go through, so say goodbye to MBB and hello to ZBB!

Man I don’t even know who to believe 😂

There will be a merger of KPMG, EY, ZS, IBM and PWC. The new firm will be called KPMGEYZSIBMPWCLGBTQ+. If you can remember the name you become an Office Managing Partner.

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
