"Does strategy consulting have a future?" - Positioning of MBB, Big4, RB, ATK, OW, Accenture, IBM, and Capgemini

As an MBB consultant looking to move into industry, should I expect to take a pay cut? The roles I’ve come across so far seem to for less pay than I make now

MIS Junior here. Should I graduate next May and start working or get my Masters in MIS and have 1 more internship? I have had two internships already (Business Analyst & QA/Automation Scripting) and I am interning in Cyber this summer at a Top 10 firm. Should I get my masters and try to intern with b4/MBB in cyber consulting or just graduate next May?

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

Where in Dubai do you live? Which areas would you suggest for MBB consultant? Thank you

How does health insurance at MBB & T2 strategy consulting firms compare to Tricare Reserve Select for a family? I’m 99% getting out of the Reserve within the next year and, assuming things go well with recruiting, would switch to the firm insurance as my primary once I start. Just want to confirm that there’s no reason for me to stay

What is the post MBA sr consultant $ for MBB Canada?

Currently SA at Accenture doing Cloud Advisory, ~1.5 years of work experience. I am currently trying out an MC engagement and am enjoying it immensely, and now I’m daydreaming about doing MBB consulting.

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs? I'm interviewing for the first time in awhile and am entering into a final round with a company who wants me to sign an NDA prior to the interview. I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

Could someone please share Mckinsey lateral interview experience for associate level hiring? Thanks

Hey y'all,

So, i put in my resignation and my manager calls me up. He says that he hired me during a bad time, i.e. during COVID pandemic last year, but it feels to him that when I felt convenient i am packing my bags and leaving. I have my thoughts to it, but do you also feel that I am leaving when it's convinient for me?!

For context: I spent 6 years in my previous organization and then joined current company where I've worked over 1.5 years with barely any learnings and any actual work.

Which one to join considering the culture, WLB, and growth?

My package is 12 lpa at 9 YOE and want to negotiate with Infosys..
I have 24lpa with capg. Will infy match it or do I lowball myself to not miss this offer of infosys by asking for typical 40% hike so that HR dont ghost me. I have 2 weeks left for LWD
I prefer infy due to work profile and location. How to get a win-win

I got an offer ( after 6 months of joining here in Infosys) and informed my lead the same.He spoke with my manager and my manager has agreed to retain me but needs his manager approval.
Now I have waited for a week without resigning to see if I can get any written official communication of the same.

But all of a sudden, my manager is asking me why are you this doing now? You have just now joined after speaking with his manager.
Why is this sudden change in his behaviour?

Should I resign?

Does cognizant update every person offer one week before joining by 1.5 lakh or to selected?
