Some job postings really feel like they were written by someone who’s never actually worked a shift. The expectations are endless, multitask, stay positive, handle pressure but there’s barely any detail about the schedule, the workload, or what a day actually looks like. And somehow “competitive pay” is always mentioned, but the number never is.

It makes you wonder if they’re trying to attract people or just seeing how much they can get away with asking for.

Well, nowadays, I just assume most of these job descriptions are being written by AI anyway. But yes, these are always very unrealistic. No one person can possibly possess all the skills and expertise. These companies are looking for, right?

Haha right? Some of these postings are way too perfect to be real l!

Pretty sure AI is responsible for most things like that now a days. No one actually thinks about that stuff anymore.

I wouldn’t be surprised if AI wrote half of them!

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.

Question for anyone who might know - it appears to me Rasmussen releases a poll every week day or close to that, but day to day their margins swing three percent or more, which I think is outside the margin of error (can’t speak for every single poll). How is that kind of change possible from day to day?
