When MBB says they don't have hiring limits and they will hire anyone who passes the bar. Like you don't compete with others, but only with certain bar. How accurate is that? I mean in that case cost of headcount will be enormous, since it's not working in demand/supply concept.

In that case you have equal chance of passing in NYC office or let's say Dublin? If competetion is irrelevant here

Lots of questions this morning Alex

hah, true. Just recently discovered this community, thus trying to find answers to the questions which were bothering me

like

I like the “passing the bar” terminology.

As a heads up Alex, I’m sure you’re aware of this, but you are ALWAYS competing with others in consulting. And the hiring/promoting/firing bars tend to be fluid with the economy - so clearly not super predictable right now.

Also second the others who wonder why you’d want to go from being a doctor to being a consultant. Your hours will probably be the same for less money, and maybe similar levels of stress and risk (just in different forms). YMMV in terms of how high you consider the impact - most folks on this bowl will tell you nowhere near the impact of being a doctor.

We're heavily, heavily oversold, we can immediately staff literally anyone who joins. Until demand dries up, we can afford to hire pretty much anyone who meets the bar. If the demand is elsewhere geographically then they will travel.

MBB is known for the high fees they charge for clients, also McK has global staffing model which means that you’ll be staffed on projects on another country worldwide regardless of your home offices(terms apply here). So again if you can pass the rigorous interview processes, then you’re definitely an MBB hire right away because clients come to MBB for problem solving every day/week.

Short answer is No for interns, I don’t think you can be staffed outside your home country. FTE maybe able to ask if you can join a study outside your country, obviously your PD and the ED on the target study has to mutually approve. In NA, people from Canada can easily get staffed on US studies, vice versa.

you do NOT have an equal chance of getting a role in New York vs Dublin. even with a global staffing model like at Mck. Competition is never irrelevant. i’ve seen plenty of people aim for a less desirable city to land their MBB offers who never would have made it in New York

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.
