What does it mean to come in as an experienced hire? 2 years of consulting experience and thinking of lateraling to Deloitte/Bain (friends who work there said they would refer me).

Strange that Bain and Deloitte are in the same sentence here. If you can get Bain, go there

Honestly I would say if you aren't coming in at at least a consultant level don't bother, the skills you learn as an analyst at Deloitte are not spectacular.

If I’m chasing prestige, is it possible they would make me equivalent to a first year? I’m not ready to be a manager, but want the skill set of D/Bain

You can’t really lateral to Bain unless you have an MBA or are already at McKinsey or BCG. Besides, if you don’t yet have the prestige of at least Deloitte...Bain will not want you.

What about Bain? Kind of looking to switch for exit ops later

I got interviews at both of those and they were both for entry level. I got my Bain interview in August and it was scheduled for sometime in 2019 for a potential October 2019 start for entry level. I recommend looking at other options — I got better opportunities from other great firms

Agree it’s tough sc1. Depends on the skills. I know Bain was calling folks at a lot of firms last year looking for tech strategy people. I think it depends

My current manager is a very controlling and has perpurated a v tense culture within the team. The boss recognises that the team is stressed, but blames the team for having such an attitude. The person is a micro manager dictates things like when work pings should happen, but at the root of it all, the team is over competitive & unhappy because of the leadership. Everyone's scared to write anything in PMR or perf for the fear of being identified. I'm new to to the team, but not to Google. Help!
