Looking at PE options right now…really enjoy consulting and is solely looking at PE for the $$ Pre-mba role, but thinking of mba in the next 3 years. Is comp worth the extra hours in PE?

If you’re PEG it may be fewer hours... otherwise it’s going to be heavier problem solving / more hat wearing. Many find that energizing.

Depends on PEG case of course, but my friends who went from PEG to PE have actually cited worse hours during live deals (75+) whereas I usually swung 65 on the average diligence. I’ve only been on one PEG case in my four years that had hours that bad/worse, and that was known across the Bain system as brutal.

I think during non-deal periods, the associates are swinging 55-65 depending on the week so the hours are better. But it sounds like those periods aren’t too common...?

Also, no weekend protection in PE.

That said, OP, if there’s any chance you want to do PE post-MBA, it’s worth trying before you head over to school. Tough to get a buy side role coming out of business school.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.

Have been fortunate enough to see large comp/responsibility increases in my early career (~$320K TC, 7-8 YOE) but starting to feel really stuck. Looking to make a move but most opptys are either slightly worse pay or have limited career growth runway.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
