So I joined MBB at almost 44, stayed for 4.5 yrs and leaving now at a principle/ associate partner who just got designated before leaving. I have 2 young kids. It was rough! I cannot believe I held for that long ! (65 hrs weekly on average and up to 90 with regular fire drills) . Any one can relate and how was your experience during and after leaving?

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Curious: Best (in your opinion) consulting exit to industry from mbb manager you have seen in your eu country among your colleagues?.
Need some benchmark ranges here :)

is it worth it to shift to IB or MBB after 7 years in the big four(audit and fdd)? I do think IB and MBB are interesting fields that you can acquire unique skill sets and a good network. But I don’t think I couldn’t keep up already for a daily grind. The reason why I did not pursue it earlier in my career is that I am not from a target school and I do not have an MBA. lol thoughts?

What is your opinion on moving from Tier 2 (5 years, strategy consulting) to MBB as manager/senior manager? MBB office (LatAm) reached out looking for experienced consulting manager to join their team

I’m a first year analyst in RFA with deloitte and have really hated my experience so far. Both my projects have been a lot longer than they stated and I have learned 0 skills from either of them. I’m really just doing the same task every day and I feel like my undergrad degree is going to waste. I have a couple interviews in an MBB role and a Tier 2 tech but I also want to keep applying to other companies just in case. Does anyone know companies that are in a hiring frenzy right now?

What are M7 MBB recruiting timelines ? Considering applying right now to MBB, but if I get rejected I’m going to do an MBA, will I be blacklisted from applying for summer internships if I get rejected this fall ?

G’day folks, new in here loving the vibe. I’m a strategy and M&A Manager (Non-top tier) +8 YOE in consulting and a founder with a personal impact, If I get to have an MBB referral for an interview I’d possibly pass out from excitement. Never been more confident to ask for it and chase the dream to join McKinsey, BCG, or Bain please let me know (Happy to share my resume/or get on a chat before you refer me)

FAANG product manager or stay at MBB (EM about 9mo away from AP; 8YOE w/ MBA)?

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

How is the hiring scenario of MBB at ISB? How many years of experience in a candidate are they willing to accept (assuming relevant pre mba role, for instance, say in ZS)?

Looking to apply to MBB at 1-2 YOE after undergrad. Undergrad GPA isn’t bad, but not MBB quality. Will it help if I take the GMAT early and include the score on my app? How high is good enough? 750+?

Curious how MBB's cybercapabilities are viewed within the cyber world. Experiences, thoughts?

What is the average Manager salary in Netherlands? (4 big or MBB or boutiques)

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

Anyone knows manager compensation in Jakarta MBB office? Tried Glassdoor but sample size is too small. Considering moving back home.

What kind of salary can be expected in consulting in Shanghai? E.g. in MBB or Big4. What kind of life does it buy you?

My MBB soon to be Mentor just made MD & Partner. How do I build this relationship. I got an interview through this person a few months ago which I failed clearly.

Are you supposed to receive a signing bonus for an entry level job at MBB?

Looking for case partners, have final rounds with 2 MBB in 2 weeks (Preferably candidates in similar situations)

Any idea how many people have come across the border into the US since Biden was elected? It's hard to find actual statistics, everything I find is just political rhetoric 😕

Can we show unequal rent split up between husband & wife for HRA?
Let's say we pay 20k in rent. I want to show that I pay 15k and wife can show 5k. Is this sort of break up possible without explicitly mentioning it in the rent agreement?

McKinsey 🐠: how much did you practice before your case interviews? (i.e. how many weeks / months in advance, how many hours per week, etc?) any tips on most effective ways to prep as an experienced hire coming in at the associate level? (No MBA or finance background so may need some extra prep to learn key concepts / terms)

Dear BDOers, what is the process of transferring between different office in BDO. If I don’t know anyone from the office I want to transfer. Should I just applied the job position on the regular website ?

Oh boy, they just paged “Mary and Joseph” in LGA C....

A friend was told their firm will cut ties EOY if certain things don’t improve. Friend had planned to quit in the next year anyway (to start their own business), so there is no real incentive to bend over backwards. Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?

How much a 4yrs exp FE developer package should be? Comment down below yours or someone's that you know!

I had a dream about being naked in the office. Even my dreams are clichéd!

Just applied for the Pittsburgh site business manager role. FINGERS CROSSED!

this is probably a long shot, but are any big firms fully back in person, like 5 days in the office required just like it was pre-pandemic?

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

Are there any organization development people in this bowl who are doing process consulting?

I 485 question - I do not have any vaccination record from my home town. It is a small village. I am thinking of getting the required vaccination here in US. Will insurance cover my vaccination?

Any specific place where I can find good PM templates for like Project plan, release plan, product roadmap etc? Of course there’s a way to create plan from JIRA if thats your ALM software but wondering what everyone at FAANG is using
