You should ask the recruiter where the demand is...

Am not in touch with a recruiter unfortunately...cold resume drop

Boston and NY very competitive. Just offer to relocate.

NYC is by far the largest so probably your best bet all else being equal

I’m happy to relocate - however postings are office specific. Wondering which I should post (city) I should apply to. I’ve heard NYC is tough, is that true @OW1? What about SF and Chicago?

Your best chances are probably NYC.

With Chicago being 2nd, correct?

NYC is biggest office with most business. SF is high demand low supply of business.

Thanks guys - if anyone is feeling extra generous and wants to review resume/share tips on the process, let me know 😄

Is Boston one of the options? Boston takes a good number of CCG as well. I don't know about the Chicago office.

Yeah Boston is an option. So is SF, Chicago, NYC, and a couple others I can’t remember off the top of my head

Feel like I’ll be competing against all Ivy League kids out of Boston office lol (I didn’t go to an Ivy)

Boston and Chicago have a better culture IMO

You'll be competing against all ivy league kids out of any office.

I’d just like to put myself in a position to be able to secure a 1st rd interview, I like Chicago and NYC (seems like SF is out the question). Between the two, is the consensus that I should shoot for NYC (wish I could factor culture in but I feel like I don’t have that option. Thankfully, OW is know for its good culture as a firm)

Fair point SC1. Thanks for the tips guys, wish me luck. Hope to see you all on the other side some day

So I’m engaged in an interview process for a top FinTech company. It started the 1st week of August and just now I’ve gotten word from my recruiter that they didn’t update on any decisions made. I had my 3rd & final interview last Friday. My recruiter doesn’t communicate well nor does she let me communicate with the company direct. May I being led on? Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor. Whenever I would do a solid job, he would always down play it or give the mid-level mgr credit even though other people / management acknowledged it. But we still got along. When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?

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.

Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!
