I’m convinced many of you aren’t that skilled and it shows. When I get a FAANG offer, I’ll make sure to reference back to this post where all of you guys laughe. Thanks.

That's a pretty arrogant comment OP. Ignore what others say and do you, but don't be condescending towards others. It can be a slippery slope.

Guessing WLB & pay at EY ain't good? GL bro. FAANG is where it's at.

People are laughing because you’re a recent grad, meaning you probably haven’t worked a full year yet. While it is possible to end up working at a FAANG company, they are going to ask WHY you didn’t get into one straight from school. Any company you interviewed for and didn’t get in won’t look at you until you have a few more years of experience. Any company you didn’t interview for will wonder why you made the decision to go to BAH if you really wanted to go into Tech, so you’ll need a good answer.

Friend went from bulge bracket bank back office IT to Amazon SDE1 after 8 months WE. It’s definitely possible. Get a referral and the rest is your interview performance.

A referral will not help you much, if at all, if they don’t know you

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

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.
