McKinsey & Company McKinsey folks: I applied for an associate role and I had a knowledge analyst interview me. Is that normal? It’s clearly a different career path than the one I would be taking on.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Have an offer from AWS for an L7 Principal PMT role: $215k base + $275k sign on bonus for Year 1 and $215k for year 2 + 5100 RSUs (@ $130 / share). This is the initial offer; where is there room for negotiation? Base or Sign on Bonus or RSUs? I realize it's a good offer, but I'm looking for: $225k base + existing sign on + 5500 RSUs. Does that sound like a decent counter?

One morning after a night out, I woke up in a stupor and believed it to be Saturday when it was actually Friday.. Only later in the weekend did I realize that I had completely missed work Friday, didn’t log in or talk to anybody.

When I came back to work on Monday and began to assess damage, my manager / team acted like nothing had happened and my team lead was OOO so they didn’t notice. No meetings were scheduled but expected to be fired/screwed, will always worship that Manager and team

What is the notice period in tcs during the 3 months probation period?

What would be examples of cushy industry jobs with good wlb with 200-300k pay check in finance industry? My work is mostly FS so it seems to make sense that I exit in that direction, but I keep hearing that finance in general is less chill than normal corporate sector jobs. Or is that just for IB/PE/HF?

I would gladly take a head of local bank branch or something as the culmination of my career but I fear that dream is too 1950s

Onsite opportunities at CitiusTech?

Started my morning with the worst spin class I've ever had. Passive aggressive move to leave before it ended to not have to talk to the instructor. It was a cringe worthy class.

What’s up with Fs in the comments? I thought it meant “RIP” but I see it used in places where that doesn’t seem to make sense

Got food poisoning (right before a 5hr flight🤢) from a Sheraton breakfast buffet. How do I file the complaint? Do I just dial the SPG line? How many points would be acceptable to you?

Love making elaborate brunch on Sundays - wish I had someone to share them with 😒

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.

PWC—is there a drug test? As part of background check? Internal firm job...

They asked me about ideas on what to do. I made some shit up. Now they’re doing it. And they’ve involved me. Why do I open my mouth? Why do people ask for my thoughts? Don’t, just don’t.

Senior Manager is definitively the worst job at the firm. Not all the time, but most of the time. (And yes, I "speak up for my needs". Response is "cry me a river don't care") Do other SMs feel this?

Just got rolled off, ouch.
