Is McKinsey worth it? I have an interview coming up with a recruiter for a business analyst position. I currently make great money and work 45 hours a week on average. What are the benefits of pivoting to MBB?

Benefits? It’s MBB - you get amazing exit opps and a chance to be part of a global scandal. Congrats on the interview, goodluck OP.

But seriously, it’s all individual and depends. I would take MBB in a heartbeat

😂😂😂 The scandal part

MBB will find a way to fill all that free time you've got. So there's that.

Pretty good network once you leave, smart and helpful colleagues while you're there, faster promotions if you strive for them, and more topically interesting projects available for you to angle for.

I mean the salaries are out there I’m sure you could do the math. It might not look great but it is often about short term career acceleration to then go back to better WLB at a much higher position and comp

I’d only go to MBB as an express route to better exit ops. I’m in Strategy at Accenture and while it might not be MBB I think you can have an interesting career if you find the right people and clients that do interesting work. The % of our work that is interesting, C-level is probably smaller though. WLB, pre covid at least, is better. Likely the same at Deloitte.

Curious what is involved with lateraling as a partner financially from a nuts/bolts perspective. I don’t mean LPQs or negotiating comp, but the practical things like timing of exit and how that relates to end of year draws, profit-sharing contributions, getting your capital back, and all that. My firm has a lot of aspects of comp and benefits and it seems like a ton of moving parts. Not planning on leaving but I may have to start listening to recruiters if comp doesn’t go well.

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)
