My hair looks exactly like this and I usually keep a short beard (shorter than John's). Should I get a haircut before my mckinsey interview? My hair has never been an issue in my current work meeting with execs I think.

It was a cottage I went to with my gf in Ontario. We rented it on Airbnb. Happy to link you the bnb listing if you dm me.

The partner on my current case just showed us pictures with him in dreadlocks. One of my managers has neon pink hair...you do you....also do you really want to work in an environment where you feel you need to change your appearance 🤔 just my two cents....

I'd 100% do it! She is a female , but gender shouldn't be an issue. If it was, we'd be taking massive steps backwards in terms of DEI.

You’ll be fine. :-). Best of luck with the interview!

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation.

But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?

Got my MBB offer as an Exp Hire! A few insights from my case prep. I practiced ~10 cases solo using Case Coach videos. I'd watch the interviewer speak, pause the video, practice (speak out loud, ask questions, explain my approach, even time myself), then play to see what the candidate did, and evaluate myself for gaps.

I also learned the evaluation criteria and internalized the generic case frameworks.

I do work in consulting and had done live case interviews 5 years ago

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
