Bain & Company Recently applied to Bain & Company with a 2 page resume, but then I read that consulting generally prefers a 1 page resume (I have 10 years of industry experience). Does recruiting view your application more favorably with a 1 page resume vs 2 page resume? Also, is there any way to update your application once you have applied ?

You should be able to talk more, but put together a creative 1 pager executive summary in the namw of a resume.

I’ve been in consulting for 10 years and can barely fit just that into one page, let alone the 10 years I had before consulting. Sometimes two pages is necessary- don’t confine yourself to a standard but also make sure you’ve cut any redundancy in what’s said.

2 pages for anyone generally over 10 years and multiple companies/roles

👍 PWC1…🤡

You’re fine, there are bigger things at play when considering an application than the resume page count of 1 vs. 2 (not suggesting anyone send more than 3, if only for the fact that no one will have time to go through all that during screening and later on in the interview process)

Wanting to apply to big 4s but I'm having a hard time updating my resume to tailor it to tax roles.

I know this is a stupid question. But how do I explain what I do for purposes of a resume? I primary work on 1120s with some international exposure to foreign filings. Since I'm at a small firm, I've essentially worked on every type of return (1040, 1041, 1065,1120s, PPTs) But I'd say 60% of my work is c corp and the other 40 is between all the others.

Haven't found anything useful online 😕

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Isn't it annoying how no one ever notices all the hard work you put into your research? The countless hours you spend in the lab, library, or curled up on your couch researching—all of that dissolves into what can feel like obscurity.

Regarding the WSJ article.. Can anyone in PE explain why any pension fund would be interested in buying single family homes? Extremely illiquid, historically follows inflation.... Do they think Texas will go the way of CA? Ie/ zoning and artificial cost inflation due to supply constraints by the govt? It just seems to go against what is taught in economics as a sound investment... i guess CALPERS is desperate for yield given how upside down the state is
