Does this Friday feel like a Monday to anyone else?

I feel like I’m always spending either too much or too little time on assignments. Never in the “sweet spot”

Parents went to a friends house today. That friend said they were in contact w someone who got tested positive for covid this past week. 1. What’re chances my parents may have it? 2. How do I tell them to stay in their room at their own house?

California small firm attorneys - how is your firm handling the latest shutdown orders?

Everyone remote? Declaring yourselves “critical infrastructure”? Adhering to capacity limits but still meeting with clients?

(I should also add, I’m in estate planning & trust administration. Earlier CA orders specifically exempted legal practice re death and incapacity. Newest ones now seem silent.. Ugh, who knows anymore.)

Partially venting, and partially asking if this is worth sticking through: I am a junior associate. About a month ago, I made the move to a larger firm. Since day 1, one of the partners has constantly put me on the spot, quizzing me every time he calls, which gave me a lot of anxiety, but I was dealing with it. Up until recently, the same thing happened, and he yelled at me, screamed that he was pissed off, when I didn’t know the answer to one of his questions. Now he doesn’t delegate any work..

Applying to Creative Agencies and it got me thinking-

Do recruiters or hiring managers care if you provide an "optional" cover letter? Do they even look at these?

Hi Fishes,
Can someone help me with a reference at McKinsey & Co?.
Please do respond

Should I be reducing my contribution to my 401k at the moment? Based on the drastic 🐻 market?

Im working in AUM reporting side and looking to automate some daily and monthly processes that are done in excel. I know it is possible with python but I know little to no python any suggestions? Or any other software that may be able to help!

First time home buyers in the GTA: where are we moving to? I'm considering a 1500 sq ft igloo in Nunavut at this point.

OC has an issue with a financing term that deal teams worked out. Is it unethical to ask deal teams to discuss these terms and instruct us how to proceed? These seems to be business term where counsel can’t work out the differences, without business agreeing.

Besides using Becker, did you use other sources to help with passing the CPA exam?

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks

How long is training / orientation at McK in NA? Trying to make some plans during my first few weeks at the firm. Thanks!

A friend of mine applied for a job at Bain and he said part of application requested his SAT scores! What’s the point of asking for his test scores? He has a degree.

Has anyone over here joined their firm post a master’s degree abroad? (non MBA) what was the interview experience like, and any tips for someone applying as a graduate school student with 1 year work ex in Private Equity?

Currently a Senior Consultant and planning to apply at McKinsey and Bain. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to provide a referral?

Does anyone have any insight on what is entailed during an “expertise chat” at McK? I spoke to a recruiter and made it through to the next step. The next step is the expertise chat before progressing to the official first round interview. For reference, this is for their Healthcare Services & Technology practice. TIA

First gen immigrant getting case of impostor syndrome/nerves with upcoming BCG interview. Any folks want to share advice that might help? Would really appreciate it; thanks :)

What are the career levels at BCG? Specially trying to understand where does the Product Manager role fit in

Recently got referred at BCG. Haven’t received the link to apply yet (< 24 hrs), should I reach out to my contact and ask him what’s going on ?

What can help me (2 YOE at B4) get an interview at MBB besides a referral? Certain skills, certain qualifications, GMAT score, or something else?

Got contacted by a McKinsey recruiter for experienced hire interview (position I applied for) and she connected me directly to the partner due to my domain expertise. Partner liked my expertise and gave thumbs up. What would be the next step? Do I need to go through other interviews (exp/case interviews) still or does this mean process is being expedited since my area of expertise is in demand?

What's with the McKinsey certifications? E.g. "Business Strategy was issued by McKinsey" What does it entail? who pays for it? Information or skill based? Etc.

Worked a few years at a small company and wondering what it actually takes to make the big jump to MBB. Anyone willing to connect and share insights?

I started a new role about a month ago (exited from T2 consulting) but just got an opportunity to interview with MBB. The resume I sent in is from 3 months back doesn’t reflect this role change. Should I update the firm I’m interviewing with? Or if I get an offer should I explain during the background check process?

Hello! Any one in here who can give me a referral for a position at McKinsey and BCG? Thanks in advance!!

Looking to apply to MBB but I’ve only been at my current B4 firm <1 year. I have a few projects/initiatives to talk about, so I would love to hear if I should wait it out for a better shot or if I could apply as is. Thank you in advance! :-)
