Thoughts on asking a client (mid-upper level VP at a bank) for a letter of rec for bshool? Think he would write very good things, had a direct working relationship for 6 months - applying next fall

Is MBB (mostly thinking about McKinsey) really that bad in terms of WLB?

I feel like people tend to exaggerate things sometimes - i was told i'd be working approximately 65h at Deloitte in Tech Strategy and honestly that barely ever happened.

I wasn't considering switching since I love my job and my team, but many people are telling me I shouldn't "waste" my potential at Deloitte (whatever that means...). They kind of got to me and now i'm looking for more info about the culture/work at MBB.

Fishes ,

I had joined Cognizant 2 weeks back .

They put me in bench now .
Unable to understand why they are hiring experienced professional without any project vacancy 🙄

Please let me know the bench policy for lateral hiring i.e i need to get allocation within how many day ?

Kindly advice what should be my next step now ?

I am an in-house attorney, so maybe this is not my axe to grind, but do any "pre-UBE" attorneys find that allowing UBE passers to practice in numerous jurisdictions seems wrong if we are genuinely concerned with protecting the client's interest? (That was quite the run-on sentence, I admit)

1.5 years experience, 4 WD projects and 3 certifications. Currently interviewing with a boutique firm. Ideas on salary expectations?

First in person interview question: Where are you from originally and how long have you been in US 🙃

I applied for a job at a competitor; went through 3 rounds of interviews. I then received an offer, moments later it got rejected and the director's reason was 'i'm job hoping'. Is this a fair judgement called at this point in time? Isn't this something they vet before even interviewing me?

Collegium Pharmaceutical:

Hello! Today, in a whirlwind of a process, I wad interviewed and highered by Collegium Pharmaceutical. By any chance has anyone worked there? Is it a good company, what's your experience with them? Any bad or good sides?

What’s the toughest challenge you’ve had with a client?

9 wks pregnant and interviewing for a job. I think I’ll get an offer. When should I let them know I’m pregnant? Wait till after I start? I don’t want to mislead them, but I haven’t even told my family

Rejected from job today after 5 rounds of interviews.
Any self esteem or confidence I had is now shot.
Happy Friday 😥

During my interviews, I get the feeling my answer to the “tell us about your process” inquiry isn’t hitting the mark. Would love to hear what other creatives/art directors have to say...

If you are working on-site at a client’s office 100% and you are basically working and being treated like their in-house employee, is it cool to say I worked at client’s company on my resume?

How do you present social calendars to clients for approval?! We use sprout for scheduling/ posting but their client approval interface is too complex and not very visually (cont. in comments)

I have an interview tomorrow and I’m quite excited for it. I was wondering, what would be some good questions to ask the talent acquisition person interviewing me without repeating those same questions when you get to final interview stages?

Also has anyone had any experience with applying on angel list? How accurate are the angel list salary estimates?

Collecting some data/insights about what data analytics tools are used for the internal functions of consulting companies for a project. Would love to hear from all!

I had an interview with Stryker last week. I thought it went well. Today I was supposed to have an interview with someone else. No one ever sent me the teams link to join. Here I am so frustrated I didn’t look for the link earlier in the day but even more frustrated the HR rep fumbled on her end. This company is something I was really looking forward to being a part of and I am soooo bummed. When researching what employees have said about working there 97% are happy! I want that!

Starting a project in Asia .. that focuses on driving operational synergies across multiple divisions. Can I crowdsource a project name??

Tips and tricks #2 (Excel):

You can use distinct count on a pivot table by turning on the data model feature:
Create the pivot table as usual, but before hitting "OK" you can check the "add to the data model" at the bottom.

For any "Values", an additional option will apear - distinct count.

P.s.: I'm part of the team that will tell you NOT to use a pivot table, but they have some advantages

I have always wondered why PwC promotes so much later than other Big 4 firms (3 years to Sr, 3 more to manager). Every answer I've gotten has just been a complete load of shit...

Just finished the first year, thinking about leaving consulting for greener pastures. Any tips on how to start the job search?
