McK 🐟: What tips do you have for folks who want to be rockstar BAs, and fast track their progression to EM?

I've known for months the CEO is selling the company. My boss, the COO will finally find out next week because he has to sign the transaction documents. Wondering if I should practice my surprised face, or fess up I've known for months and didn't tell him? Help me decide.

The recent most billable hours post, inspired me. What is your longest billable day? Mine was 56 hours straight with no break—and the partner was more than a jerk when I was saying no more at the 30 hour point. That was two 24 hour billable days back to back on my time sheet and on the bill, a 360 hour month, and 650 aggregated for two months. And it is one reason (of so many reasons) why this job can suck so much! At least I got a good bonus...

I got interviewed by DI last week. For past 3 days I have been reaching out to them to hear a "Yes" or a "NO" but no response yet.
The guy with whom I was in touch was an Intern and now even my mail to him is getting bounced.
There are couple of folks in the CC to whom I tried reaching out but no success.
Is this act of unprofessional behaviour common in DI ?

Why do so many of you seem to think you need a referral to get an interview at MBB? I’ve interviewed ~200 candidates and fewer than 10% had a referral.
