My batchmate from old IIM is working at BCG after graduation in 2021 and told me that he has been working on tech strategy kind of projects. Is this normal? I thought MBB means pure strategy/due diligence projects. I am working at a big 4 and am doing similar tech consulting type projects. Was actually preparing for case interviews hoping to crack a MBB or Kearney type firm. But now worried. Can someone share some more info about projects at mbb.

How do I ask for salary readjustment ? I joined last year and I was given at least 20k below the people who joined in August - September onwards. With the Market being hot during that time the candidates had the leverage. I got good reviews in all the cycles with multiple citations from different people. I want my salary readjusted to the current rate they are offering in the market before the end of year increases. Deloitte PwC EY KPMG

Can someone kindly connect me with Investment Banking HR/Recruiter/anyone willing to help? My friend interviewed for Goldman Sachs NY. Cleared the HireVue but didn’t get any communication further. It’s been 4 weeks now. Although the referral came from a VO but the division is different. My friend is looking for Investment Banking division. Need to get in touch with someone from investment banking to push the resume. The rolling process is hurting the chances.Thank you Goldman Sachs

Careful with law school. Market sucks for law.
I know of a lot of people that went to Northwestern and U of C law and are having trouble finding a job. Although as EY 1 said you can become a fax attorney and represent all the faxes who have been unlawfully replaced by computers 😂
Market doesn't suck for law ^ market sucks for law students from schools having no business offering the degree. The higher education money rush and availability of loans has led to dozens of schools, including for-profits, to begin offering degrees. Go to the ABAs site and Law School Transparency to check out employment statistics and learn about how schools inflate their figures and how to spot it
Go pass that Bar exam and become a fax attorney. You'll be making $400+/ hour in no time

Big pay gap. Bunch of my friends/acquaintances are lawyers. The ones that graduated from top law schools are making $165k-$180k. The ones that didn't are not making much more than 1st year Public accountants
If you can spare the like $7, read "don't go to law school (unless)". It'll take you all of 2 hours to read and it provides a lot of quality information about the application process, job markets, cautions etc.
^while it is *possible* to get those jobs from Brooklyn that is very much the exception that proves the rule. The reality is that the lower down the school rankings you go, the higher you need to rank in your class to have a chance at those jobs and class rankings are a crapshoot. I have a close friend in Brooklyn now that would be ecstatic to get a 60k job as he currently has none.
BDO 1, there is no Princeton Law School....
Info here is spot on. Go if you are accepted into a T14 or if you receive a full scholarship. Otherwise, don't.
I'm applying for next year. Unless you have an extreme passion to be a lawyer you should only go if 1) you will get into a top 14 school or 2) you get a significant scholarship to a top regional school. This is especially true because you are already at PWC and if you don't get Big Law you will mostly likely be taking a pay cut and generally those jobs are only accessible from top schools.
As someone going through the application process right now for law schools, I can tell you there is a lot of misinformation above. If money is your concern, check out the hiring statistics for schools you could realistically get into. I would recommend prepping/taking the lsat ASAP as that will drive a lot of your options
^bingo
When I say top I don't only mean Cornell, Princeton etc. A few graduated from Brooklyn Law and are well over $150k. It's the small local colleges that started offering law degrees that put you into that low starting salary.
UPenn/Princeton same thing ☺️
There was a whole article I read recently that the top law firms are even demoting/firing partners.
You can go to a top 14 school and still struggle if you don't know what you want to do with your life
Pros: you wouldn't be an accountant, you can start your own practice more easily.
