When an introvert opens a shop

Have a 4 round loop interview for Sr. Product Manager at Amazon coming up through the MBA pathways program soon.
If I land it the trajectory of my life and that of my family changes but I'm starting to feel the pressure. I haven't had a lot of traction for job searching since I graduated in December so this is the best lead I have and I'm getting scared now.

Personally, I know Bain partnership is a bit more willing to take a near term hit. The firm nearly went under when this wasn’t the case, which led to Mitt Romney coming back / Orit Gadiesh reorganizing the new Bain / ESOP buyout. There’s an old HBS case on this. Not to say it’s all roses, but many of the current senior partners lived through that, and they are less willing to do it again.
Yes we are, but I've found my Bain peers to be much more defensive around anything negative relative to MB

What type of start dates did they give to the 2024s. Hearing alot of Aug Sept Oct for Mck and BCG with a few Jan.

Yes, but not as much it appears. London Consultants and Managers seem the exception.
Yes but not as much from my network. Bain has largely skirted the issues other two firms have been dealing with.

I mean everyone faced the same market slowdown
Correct, but the size of hit a firm’s partners are willing to take can change the impact of that slowdown
YES
Not in the same way, no
Did BCG and Bain go all in into growth mode after the pandemic bull market (specially for digital) like McK did or were they lore cautious?
That might explain how the heavy turn of the market impacted everybody differently…
Although looks like things are starting to turn as per this newsletter: https://the8020newsletter.substack.com?r=1ihrli
