Bain & Company What do you think will be the impact of this rapid hiring for MBB? MBB is hiring so rapidly. When it cools down, do you think MBB will realize they over hired? Will it become harder for associates (post MBA) to get promoted? Will it become more competitive for Associates to get staffed on projects they want to be on? Will there just be too many consultants at the Firm and a mass layoff? McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group

Many people are leaving, so not necessarily.

There's actually a dearth of tenured post-MBA folks in North America from what I've heard. Over-hiring is not going to be the biggest problem. I've heard we're also trying to hire EM-level people with extremely similar experience.

The party line in all firms will be they’ll throttle down hiring to make sure they’re in sync with growth and the pyramid promotion structure solves for throttling at different levels.

The reality is, they will make heads roll when they need to and they won’t be called layoffs. The performance bar is an amorphous beast that can be adjusted as needed.

I think we're in the same boat at McK. Bottle neck is SM so that's where the focus of recruiting is going - cognizant that we need to keep feeding the bottom of the funnel.

I can't see layoffs being in the game plan (touch wood!).

Too many questions to answer (sorry).

Quick response is business is doing extremely well, we desperately need the people. Also tons of burn in mid (project leader) levels.

Issue is at the SM level so there will be plenty of headroom for post-MBA starters to grow into (especially given our ridiculous growth)

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️

This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
