What is Big 3?

Big three is definetely also used.

Anyway, to be helpful, there are so many resources online I genuinely think that’s the best place to start unless you have very specific questions. Regarding structuring, for McKinsey it’s always best to put your responses to all questions, even questions about your background, in some kind of framework. Eg., I made this decision based on three distinct factors a, b, and c. As opposed to providing a laundry list. For case questions, even better if the list is hierarchical. Eg. I think three factors will affect sales over the next year. A,B,and C. Then have points within each if necessary/possible.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

In Bank of America it is more of a core Python role whereas in IDFC it is more related to Data Engineer role. I’m confused between choosing since Bank of America has bigger brand value and also both organizations have similar work life balance.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.
