During my McKinsey interview, the Associate Partner said “you mentioned you learned 3 things, what’s the third one?” when I had very clearly stated I had 2 points. This was so tricky!

Hello people. Need a suggestion and please provide your honest inputs. I'm with EY GDS (India) currently (3 YOE) with a package of 10LPA. Role is of Tax senior which is equivalent to team lead in general. I'm exploring roles in WELLS FARGO as I am looking into profiles in investment banking. Have done masters in banking and finance, also have retail banking experience of 4.5 years.
Just want to understand the salary structure and role in wells. What can I expect with the jump at most? Plz help.

No question, but I wanted to give a huge shoutout to repvue.com that helped me increase my salary by 80% this year. If you know anyone who works in Sales, tell them about it!
