To the handsome BCG’er who interviewed me: When I joined that WebEx meeting and saw you, you took my breath away. I should’ve plucked my eyebrows. Sadly we’ll never meet, as I accepted another offer.

Awkward I think you mixed up your interviews. It was a pleasure meeting you too though! I am blushing ☺️

Lolol in all seriousness though what did you take instead? Also I heard BCG wasn’t doing any EH interviews right now?

Wait, there’s a singles bowl? 👀 But to answer your question, I chose a fintech company.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours?

Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.

#sharing thought.

Just got out of one of my final round interviews. It’s been over 8 weeks of prep. Got a little nervous and may have messed up on the case, PEI went okay. Have the other later this week. Trying to focus on that but difficult knowing how this performance would impact the outcome. Has this happened to anyone and they ended up getting offers? Searching for success stories or tips.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
