The “McKinsey Way” was actually stolen from Deloitte. No, seriously, it’s true. McK stole it from D. That’s why all the D folks are all “you mean MBBD”.

The scandal is that most of these government workers have jobs. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t hire 90% of them to work at McDonalds

Given that one of MBB or Big 4 advises 90% of government... I would assume almost scandals can somehow be brought into relation with those companies

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
