Seeking perspectives on the MBB in Australia to help make offer decision -
I'm an experienced hire and have received two offers as a Consultant/Associate with final round interviews scheduled with the third firm.

I'm particularly interested in views on practice strengths, office culture and career/salary progression.

I would ask each firm how much work they have in each industry. A former classmate of mine got stuck doing mining/resources at Bain. I don't know if that was just his luck, or representative of available work.

Australia is a limited consulting market since it’s full of oligopolies. There are 2 supermarkets (Woolworths primarily hires BCG and Coles primarily hires Bain), 2 airlines, 3 telcos, and 4 banks. Add in the government, Wesfarmers (former owner of Coles and the owner of the rest of remaining major retail), and mining and you have the majority of Australian industry that would hire strategy consulting firms.

Tech, FMCG, Pharma, and Automotive is almost entirely Australian sales offices of global firms, so unlikely to hire strategy consultants.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).

This is just a straw man argument.
