Just hate, hate my job. Should have done a 3 month SWE bootcamp in 2021 and moved to being a coder. Friends in tech work 35-40 hours a week and make much more

My extension is up in December and I am thinking of switching right now to another comp. One of my friends said that the companies would not hire someone who has an extension coming up. Is that true?

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

Does that super conservative guy from KPMG have any comment on Trump's "interview" with Fox and Friends? I just want to know how they ratioanlize Mr. Stable Genius

Banking? MBB? Other?

How long after you start a new job is it appropriate to take a vacation? And for what length of time?

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Hi - looking for direction: I’m about to file my citizenship application without a lawyer (after 5yrs of permanent residency). I filled out the N-400 form myself. At the end of the form it’s asking to upload any documents/evidence. How important is it uploading documents and what exactly is preferable to upload? (ex: foreign passport pgs, univ degree, employment verification?). It didn’t specifically require to upload copies. Would my case be denied if I don’t upload anything? Thx in advance

Does the location of your MBA program limit which office you can recruit too? I want to work at MBB in NYC and have an admit to Stern and Ross however Ross is providing an 80k scholarship. I’d like to take this scholarship but I really have a desire to be in NYC post mba.

Does MBB give you a good variety of projects (both in function and industry), and did that help you discover what you want to specialize in (either in consulting or in an industry job)?

Accepted an offer with BCG! Looking forward to the transition next month. Will be in BCG Federal. Anyone in this bowl also in federal?

Nursing is the only job I've had where I've wanted to quit every week. I always come back to it.

Do the BB's ask for SAR reports for lateral moves ?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

If Kanye becomes president then I can get into MBB. All things are possible.

Does MBB accept applications where you don’t have an undergrad?

How does WLB/hours change as you progress within McKinsey(BA->EM->AP)? In other words, do you work less hours at McKinsey when you become more senior?

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

Any 🐠 from London Business School here working at MBB in the US? I am a current MBA student and would love to connect with alums to know more about their experience about cross geography recruiting.

is BCG hiring a experience hire class of associates in march?

Maternity leave at BCG and McKinsey- do you need to be at the firm a certain amount of time to qualify? What are the benefits like? Is health insurance at BCG really free?
Thanks in advnace!

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.

For those who haven’t been given too much time for R1 interviews (experienced hires) and R2 (if it happens) is less than a week from R1, do they know / care that they’re not giving enough prep time to people who have full time jobs?

Sooooo when MBB says cover letters are optional, I should still write one right? They’re “optional”? Just hate cover letters 😫

How bad is it to sound shaky during the case interview? I got everything right and nailed the math but I feel like I sounded like I was about to cry even though I was confident 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any BCG folks have any insight to the Pymetrics test? Is it used to determine whether I get an interview and is it something I can prepare for before taking?
