Equity

Equity? Their total comp for a manager role was 130k with equity and bonus. How does that even make sense? Our bases are much higher. I was just wondering how people from bcg and McKinsey even afford it..in my case, I dont have a job and have limited time so I was alright interviewing but do they really get that much higher comp than mbb?

The people I know work a decent bit less than 40hr a week. I agree Wayfair isn't worth it if you're working that much!

I have a couple of acquaintances who joined from BCG. I could not figure out for the life of me why. Comp is not great, industry is not interesting, and the company’s only moat is moving large items around - which will be competed away.

My understanding is that, at least for a time, it was relatively easy to get P&L or category management. That’s hard to come by straight out of consulting

Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
