McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Can I get a referral? US based. I work at a top consulting firm in its practice (think MBB, EY-P, Capco, Oliver Wyman, etc.). only interested in private equity work, but still want some flexibility — couldn’t break it in IB from my top public university (in southern california), so figured I will have to settle for consulting (as all of us here did…)

4 months YoE and already prepared for my interviews (read Case In Point and remembered my resume for PEI)

DM me.

If you have experience at Capco and a top Southern California public we can actually extend an offer at the Partner level without an interview.

Hi I have 15 years of exp with industry and 7 years in consulting. I have done data strategy, fraud investigation and a lot of CCAR, CFTC reporting. Can I DM you?

You mentioned so many “top”s. Unfortunately those “top”s do not guarantee anything. And don’t “settle for consulting”. I am afraid you won’t be happy and that can prevent you being a top performer.

As a fellow 7 months YOE analyst I’m better than OP cuz I have 3 more exp pls refer me.
I also couldn’t break into ib 😌😚🤪

funny

No worries if a BCG says pls fix I’ll fix

funny

A) what does 4 months YOE mean? Sounds like it means 4 months of experience. Which is basically...no expedience.

B) insulting literally everyone in the consulting bowl by saying we all "settled" for consulting is...really rude!

Good luck to you OP.

OP - you should find partner roles and just apply to those 😏

One of those companies is not like the others - are you trying to tell us you’ve been at capco for 4 months and want a referral so that you can settle for MBB?

smart

How to say you work for Capco without saying you work for Capco… I don’t think Capco is even on any ranking scale that includes the other names.

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
