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!

Got an offer from a secondaries group in a PE firm in SF (<1B latest fund). Had 200 all-in comp in consulting (80%+ coming from base) and bumping up to 230 soon. PE firm is offering 120 base + 90 bonus for Associate position. Does this transition make sense if I ultimately want to become an investor / work in PE? Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO.

I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.
