Took the GMAT 2 years ago and got a 710 (Q49, V36). Is that still enough? ORM, 3.5 UG engineering GPA from top school, 4 year exp when enrolling, currently a consultant at Deloitte s&a. Targeting non HSW M7 + tuck, Yale - applying next year. Not sure if it’s just this forum, but feels like people are placing increasing emphasis on the gmat? For some context, I’ve already taken the gmat 4 times

Anyone here engage with Insight for their DGS onsite team? Interviewed a few weeks back and went through 2-3 rounds and haven’t heard anything back yet so jw

Rejected by google. Very depressed as was hoping to escape big4 consulting esp with all these h1b crap going on. Unsure of next move- hate going again on the interview treadmill which is depressing

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hi Fishes,

Anyone gave interview recently?

I am an Automation tester with 9 years exp. What all should I focus for FAANG interview prep? Will the interview be different from that for Dev folks?

Hi all, looking to ramp up quickly on my financial modeling skills before an interview for a corporate strategy role.
I've had some M&A DD experience in consulting, but it's been over a year since this.

The role is primarily looking for someone comfortable in sketching out different financial models for different market opportunities.

Thanks!

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Anyone finished the interview with Kellogg Round 2? Will the decisions be released earlier for 1Y program?

Hi All,
I got an offer from a different vendor to join morgan stanley. I leveraged to offer to directly join morgan stanley. Will this cause an issue? Can the vendor complain about me? I have not joined the vendor. I had only given interview with morgan for 2 different profiles.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I have attended technical interview for eygds.
I could answer majority of the questions.

Did anyone attended eygds interview for java developer recently.
@eygds

help I literally never learned to properly case and have an interview coming up with BCG, what are the best resources for me to use?

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

Almost said the wrong name in bed yesterday; caught it right at the moment - the low-key panic I felt damn 😳

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hi all,

Hope you all had great news from B-Schools.

I was just curious about the proportion of folks from T2 that were accepted to M7 ?

Are chances bad if you are at LEK, OW, Kearney, EYP… ?

Feel free to share your profil/stats !

Truly can not focus on not thinking about hbs decisions

Graduated 3.4 UGPA in engineering and economics from a non-target school. 3 Years experience. If I am aiming for M7 how much of a stretch is that and what kind of GMAT score?

Full time T25 (full scholarship) vs. Part time M7 (employer sponsored)?

Currently in Accounting/Finance and probably plan to eventually move closer to Strategy/Corporate Finance Strategy.

Hell everyone. Congrats to all those that accepted a school. I plan on applying next cycle. Does anyone have any recommendations on external scholarships?

One-year versus two-year MBA? I’m trying to stay in the same industry (CPG, not consulting) but increase my comp and seniority. I’m not worried about the internship. Any other downsides I’m not thinking of?
