Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

Guys! FaceCradle. Google it.
Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Just trying to understand
And I’d just like to close out my contribution for the night by reminding OP that it seems like the top 3 most helpful responses to your question came from people who were not labeled as MBB or the senior level you asked for in their title. Again - you asked a compelling question that I think many have experienced and would have had a good viewpoint to help you think through - but please use this as a secondary learning opportunity (in addition to some of the meaningful feedback you have received here already to your primary) to consider your delivery and empathy
Appreciate it. Thank You.
The audacity of you pleabs commenting on OP without being MBB Partners
Not sure if OP is serious with the response to Apple 1 here
Does anyone else not understand what OP types? Literally sounds like 12 year old me on MSN.

12 year old on MSN or a 63 year old guy on fox news
just want opinions from MBB or D. P, MD, SMs, and Ms only, please. This is very important to me fam. If ya’ll amazing support structure can respect that.
Wait I’m not a MD, so my advice is stupid, so feel free to disregard it. Good luck on finding your magic fix
OP’s replies make them come off as a child. Can confirm most consultants are not like this — it’s a you problem
I think your issue may be your priorities. Stop focusing on titles and labels and put in us much effort to developing yourself as you do solving your clients issues. This is a legitimate question, however qualifying that you only want MBB “or” managers + is problematic to me. I left consulting months ago and am now a manager, but don’t there are plenty of people who can balance both personal development and professional development (irregardless if they are at MBB)
Thank you for understanding. Much appreciated and thanks for all you do!
Commenting since the arrogant OP doesn’t want my input.

Gotta be coke... only thing that’s ever made me get this emotional, paranoid, and weird
Not sure what specific personal life situation or decision making on your side, but think I do a decent job for that for myself
Exactly my point VP2. Should have told me need today by or need today before.. she self implied COB, which again she did not tell me either and text straight at five. I am like, yes going for a run and will pick up. I thought today means some point before tomorrow. So I am partly at fault to for not asking a counter question. But making a big deal out of this, come on!
Did you wake up today wanting to get roasted or is this just a regular occurrence for you
Nope. Helpful viewpoints.
Ideally a company should optimize for sustained financial performance, and a human should optimize for personal happiness. The drivers and frameworks relevant to the former are completely different than those that are relevant to the latter. I’m actually not sure why you think skills in consulting would correlate at all to skills in executing a successful personal life at all.
There’s lots of good literature out there in happiness. My suggestion would be to read up on some of that to help shift your thinking a bit.
Good luck.

You are being stupid now. No worries on that one.

I am still waiting for an MBB partner to tell me how to procure an MTA card in less than a day

No partners allowed! Only MDs, SMs, and Ms!

Doers do and talkers consult
Corrected. All management consultants. Thanks for your quick response.
I am having a real problem here, I don’t wish to be judged, so I put the subject line. It’s a more psychological question and hence I targeted it to a specific cohort. Don’t judge my intelligence to be arrogance or belittlement. Just want a focused discussion across the board. Please, this is important to me.
It’s easier to tell others what to do than to do it yourself. This is why companies hire consultants, because they need that external perspective.
Commenting as an associate here just to irk OP hehe
I know I'm not MBB, or senior partner. But let me google this for you 😂😂😂
I can say with confidence that what we do does not move the needle for org’s. We are there as a scapegoat and a means to an end. Yes, we are frauds and I want out.

Just make sure that all your choices are MECE when making a decision.
Also when talking to your girl, frame all your responses in the form of we should do x because of a, b, c, etc.
/s
OP, you got this. You identified a gap , weren’t able to solve for it, sought help, were selective about whose help you sought, apologized when you realized you might have come across as insensitive or arrogant, withstood the blowback that ensued, and re-focused on the main problem.
That’s 90% of the battle. There’s no silver bullet for the rest but it’s probably applying the same thing to your personal life. Also listening, empathizing, course-correcting and balancing deep thoughts with strong action. In the professional world rational thought is prioritized over emotions but on the personal front, it sometimes it needs to be the other way around.
Good luck!
Thanks PL1
