So I’m going from Industry to B4, I read a lot on here about an exit plan or opportunity? My background is Healthcare, 5 YOE (Industry) with receiving my MBA this year. How long should I stay at B4? I would love to make senior manager then explore. What do you think? any advice is welcomed.

I took a job because I needed one about a month ago. Just got another one and I’m going to accept because it’s the type of role I wanted to do. I feel bad that I’m about to quit the initial job. Any advice on having that conversation?

Currently working in audit. A firm reached out to me that I previously almost accepted an offer from before joining BDO. They are a small regional firm & they are offering jobs in Transaction Advisory (M&A) & risk advisory. Can anyone let me in on the work-life balance of these fields compared to audit? Right now I feel as though I’m living to work instead of working to live, and I want out. Is this a good move, or will I just be right back in the same position?

I see a lot of people making more money when they exit. In my experience, I have yet to find a role that pays more for a similar level of responsibility in a similar location. Current M in T&O at $153k in the Midwest (not Chicago). Offers I’ve seen at the manager level in industry in similar midwestern cities at the manager level are typically between $110-130k with a 15-30% bonus. Any advice on finding an opportunity that will lead to a salary increase, even if it’s only a modest one?

What is the difference between associate manager and manager levels?

Anyone else frustrated with the lack of follow through from potential employers? I have had two companies undercut my ability to have an equal chance to compete for a role. One company kept telling me a second interview would happen in a few weeks. Nothing for 3 months even with my check ins. To just find out the role was filled. Another company flat out said they couldn’t find my application (in their system where it was attached to job req number) and filled the role.

Does anyone have experience being a contractor for Deloitte? What was your salary negotiation experience? Do they pay fairly? (extra context: looking at their operations program manager contractor role)

I'm trying to learn more about how Slalom consulting is, especially in the healthcare space in DC. What's their model like? Salaries? Levels? Work life balance? Any insights appreciated. Thanks!

Any idea on the Report Support role in PwC Kolkata ?

Interviewed for S&O role and wanted to share. Recruiter told me to expect problem solving and stakeholder comm, behavioral and case type questions… It ended up being one 25-min interviewee-led case. I was surprised given all that I had read online about RRK and GCA and Googleyness and the pride Google has in its “unbiased”interview process… it felt like any other MBB interview where your case interviewer decides your fate… guess S&O is just like any consulting firm…

Any clue on how the Italian system is considered when applying to the Mba? My masters GPA is 27.6/30 but my overall grade is 110/110

Hi ,

Can anyone give me referral for Globant,Pune ,YOE 3 years

What does the progression track look like for post-mba consultants at MBB? Specifically, are there notable differences in promotion timing amongst the firms? I’ve noticed on LinkedIn that several BCGers have reached principal level in 3.5 years (2 as consultant, 1.5 as PL) whereas it seems to take a minimum of 4 years but sometimes even 5 for McK to reach AP level (which I believe is the equivalent?) Is this an accurate assessment?

Anyone know any good exit opportunities/career changes? This is my first job in internal audit and I’m not sure if I want to be pigeon holed into this.

After 5 years as an AE / Sales Manager, what are the next possible career paths?

I love sales and wish I could stay as an individual contributor, but I feel like I am not getting anywhere with the salary i want, and the job itself I feel isn't using all of my potential/skillets (plus I'd like to learn and put into practice more).

So I'm really keen to hear from others what steps they took in their career to get into roles they love doing now but still within the sales side of an organisation.

What is THE BEST professional development you've ever been to? (Conference? District workshop? Etc.)

Looking for some thoughts on the pros/cons of contract work/temp-to-perm roles VS full time direct hire? I’ve been an EA for 30 years and have always been direct hire. I am now on the market and being approached by a lot of contract opportunities with seemingly good rates. Aside from the obvious lack of health insurance, are there other downfalls to contract work? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Anyone attended We Can Code It (coding boot camp) and had a bad experience? What happened to you? Thank you in advance 🙏

I have a non-stem bachelors and had to do a Masters in Data Analytics to become a “data scientist” and have had the title for about 2 years now. However, the work I’m doing isn’t very interesting and is mostly dash-boarding/extracting basic insights from data, and I still feel like I’m limited so am seriously considering a software engineering boot camp to be able to jump into big tech and work on interesting stuff. Anyone did something similar?

What happened to our good friend and futures guru Michael Beaton? Hope all is well man!

What's a really good "difficult" question that you as a candidate can ask the (big law) interviewer?

Context: I had callbacks at a big law firm while i was in law school and after one partner finished her questions and I finished asking my questions, she told me to ask her a really tough question, something to really stump her. l fumbled and am pretty sure that majorly factored into the rejection.

What would you ask?

Would you allow your therapist to tape your sessions to exchange for a lower fee?If so, audio taping or video taping?

Hi Fish, need some insights.

Most of the projects in my team are of Digital Transformation and give a Business Analyst role. I'm a functional person with knowledge in Finance and Banking domain. I don't mind a career in the digital space but I want to know how good are the exit options and how good are the future prospects of making money as compared to core finance / risk consulting.

Thoughts please?

UK government just announced they will pay the wages of at risk employees so they don’t get fired. Welcome to socialism. It is 👍🏻

Which Ritz Carlton property is your favorite in the continental US or Canada for a romantic weekend getaway (no kids)?

I worked the majority of 2020 from home. Office is in NYC but live in another state. Why do I need to pay tax to NY?

Anyone else tired of recruiters? Number one why do you make so much when your only job is scanning LinkedIn and second how are you so arrogant when you only solve hiring people and no customer or internal problems. Like I get that you’re needed, but what do you actually do that justifies these salaries lol. Figured this would be nice topic to vent on for people doing the real work haha.

Please stop tagging whole firms in your posts. Just mention the firm name in your post (no @) and the people who care will respond. Thx

Are any top consulting firms hiring for experienced analysts currently? I know ACN and some others are cyclical for resources 2-3 years out of college, but I’m looking to make a move sooner than fall

Is there a pre-ipo app or a way to invest into pre-ipo or primary market?

Can some one add me to the referrals bowl please? Thank you 🙏🏼

I had my final rounds at McKinsey & Company 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear back from the interviewers. The HR emailed me yesterday to ask me if I am free for a call today at 5pm to discuss outcomes. Does this mean that I have likely failed since the interviewers should call successful candidates?

How much do you pay for rent or mortgage and what’s your TC?

I need to grow thicker skin. Being called “buddy” really ticks me off.

How long does one stay in a role before getting promotion to the next role ie Consultant to Sr Consultant.

When your client forces a bush league Monday-Friday travel contract on you: 😐

How do you guys deal with booking personal travel (eg weddings) in advance when you don't know if you're going to be able to use alt travel?

Does anyone else feel out of sync when they are back home from the client site? Like shouldn't it be the other way around?!
