Dont know about the others but at BCG we’re mostly casual - especially if it’s your training! Feel free to put a dress shirt or nice top if you feel more comfortable but it’s not necessary. Good luck!

If you notice someone doing something positive, reach out to them and/or their manager and complement them. Sometimes they’re trying something new and it’s something that’s difficult for them and a positive comment helps motivate them to keep going. Please no hate.

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers.

The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

I’m struggling between 2 offers:
MBB SA (175K TC) and FANG Financial Analyst (220K TC). I’ve wanted to work for MBB for 4 years, but I’m about to head to get an MBA. Neither will sponsor but MBB will allow me to come back as post-MBA level even with ~4 months of experience pre-MBA. Can I go wrong here? I don’t know what I want to do long term yet and I’m hoping my MBA can help me figure it out
