I’ve heard from a number of current consultants and college students applying for consultant roles that Bain’s reputation has really declined in recent years. Curious what others think...

I’m tired of hearing this story. Yeah Bain hasn’t grown as quickly as others, but still a good firm doing good work, providing good career opportunities. They’ll be fine. Although concentrated voting structure implies ownership structure could change.

Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role.

Hello All,

I have job joining in UST in next. However, I'm having some concern. Could you please advise me on this.

I have some matrimonial disputes going on in court. Does it affect my job joining in UST?

I believe it's the employees personal matter and nothing to relate on job prospects (this is what i got as a reply from my previous employer)

Do I need to inform about my matrimonial disputes or should I keep quiet? How does background verification team consider this.
