What about McKinsey Vancouver office?

McK Canada in general has nice culture, nice people, relatively smaller offices compared to US so most ppl knows each other. We travel a lot though so get used to the travelling lifestyle.

Please help 🙏 Has anyone done human/employee due diligence before? I’m thinking I’m going to approaching it where I do a mix of 1:1 and workshop style “interviews” to assess the quality and skills of people coming from a company to be acquired. How does one does this in practice? What types of questions should I be asking given I don’t have domain expertise in all these areas, and what does an final output/deliverable look like? It’s like 50 people.

Lately I’ve been feeling like all my friends and family around me have such great careers and are very successful and I’m behind. I would like some help trying to figure out what my next career move should be. I know I’m capable, I just don’t know what I should be looking for in my next opportunity, or what (strategically) I need to do to work my way up the ladder. Any resources or suggestions of who I could hire to help me figure things out?

Good afternoon everyone! I hope all is well and everyone that reads this post is having a great day. I am posting because I am currently looking for a new role. The company I currently work for not only downsized, but severely cut hours for those of us still here. Needless to say, I need to earn money to survive. I have no il-will towards the company but I cannot survive off what I am currently making. If you have any referrals or know of any opportunities, please let me know.
