McKinsey & Company Is there an advantage to exiting MBB, spending a stint in industry, re-entering MBB etc? Noticed a few senior partners at McKinsey & Company who've done it, and not sure why, unless it leads to faster promos.
Related to this, do you need to re-interview or is there a separate alumni recruiting stream?

My job title says Application Development Senior Analyst (SSE-Developer) but I'm performing Core SYSTEM ANALYST Role.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Trying to study Audit and doing fairly good in MCQs but the SIMs are complete over the head...any advise?

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

So I just got an email inviting me to do a virtual recorded interview with Bain

What type of questions do they ask?

Sr Design Manager vs Sr Art Director? I’ve always worked in an design studio where SR Design Manager is above manager and principal but moving to in house type agency for big tech and the titles are art director, creative director etc. Currently, titles above me are director > sr director > VP/CDO. What is the equivalent at an agency?

Has anyone gone through multiple interviews and not even been given a “thanks for applying but we went another way” or a reply to a follow up email after 3 weeks? I get it means I didn’t get it, but just seems weird to be completely blacked out unless they will don’t have any update for me? Lol
