Bain & Company Know it’s been asked here before but does anyone have recommendations on a resume writing service who has experience working with consultants? I’ve always struggled with it and want to make sure I’m best positioning myself for roles I am applying to.

I go to jobs I want to apply for and copy and paste word for word what they have in it, because I wouldn’t be able to right it better myself, so then I get a few bullet points from various similar jobs

Cool that makes sense- i feel as a generalist i have to pick and choose which experiences align to the roles before i put them in but I’ll be using this strategy going forward. Thank you very much

If you’re applying to MBB there are plenty of specialty resume services, but they are expensive. I think you can learn everything needed online and then make something yourself. Nobody knows you better than yourself.

Don’t know of a paid service, but almost all universities have a career center that help with polishing your CV! Often (or if you ask very nicely), they also do this for alumni :) and maybe you can return the favor one day by hosting some sort of company event, or being a guest speaker etc

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
