What role? The website lays out masses on culture and expectation. We’re looking in general for intrinsic problem solving expertise, and the ability to communicate and positively influence the world around you.

Yes it is. Lots again on our website, including coaching guide and practice tests.

If you have niche expertise we may be interested in that as well.

Otherwise be prepared to talk about your experience as per other interviews. Specifically with examples of where you have had real personal impact beyond “just doing work”.

Thanks M2. The first call was good but HR said right now they are recruiting for 2019 so I have sometime to start the process. Not sure why I can’t start before that.

Actually I don’t know. I networked and a partner sent my resume to a recruiter. And recruiter set up call to talk about my experience. Didn’t give any more details.

Do you know if PST is still a thing?

I interviewed w mckinsey before. 2 case interviews over 2 phone interviews. Then 2 in office interviews with more cases.

Thanks M1 and EY1.
@EY1- cases over phone? Need to start preparing lol. Did you get an offer?

So I assume the the recruiter call is just to set up the following interviews?

Yeah start practicing cases now. First call probably less “interview-y” and more about getting to know you

Hi Fishes,

I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

What is the partner process like at McK and BCG? Do they still get equity and pension like PwC? I am thinking about switching but it seems harder. I am just a Senior Associate.

Also how do you structure meet & greets? Want to be informal but not too much
