Thoughts on the “digital” versions of MBB vs big4 firms? Thinking of moving jobs from my current CyberSec boutique, but not sure if I want to move to McK digital/BCG Plantinion (Not sure on the Bain version) or just going the cyber route at a Big4 or T2 firm.

JK, DM me pal

I can't speak to cyber specifically, but for tech in general from the client perspective, as well as from a competitor perspective,, they're lower on the totem pole than B4 and tech boutiques. Tech is not MBB's forte and it shows in their work.

That said, from an employee perspective, you get the MBB branding and good pay, so if you're looking for a shortish term jaunt, it's not a terrible way to go.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
