Wanted to learn a little bit more about the recruitement process at PA Consulting in the UK during the pandemic. How is the interview format different, if at all, from MBB? Was not able to find too much information handy on their growth strategy practice process. Would appreciate the help!

Absolutely nothing like MBB. Better compared to OW, ATK or ADL in the UK. Which team are you applying to?

I used to work at PA and I loved it. Big in government work, though. So make sure that is your thing.

Which role are you applying to? I might be of help

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.

Hi everyone!

I wish to know does people care about your looks in consulting (specially when you are on a client facing role?)
