Just go MBB instead of Slalom for better M7 chances.

Agreed MBB is better. But no this shouldn't hurt your chances. It's all about the story.

The 3rd company likely won't pay what my minimum salary is.

of an Assistant Manager in

I was promoted from Supervisor to

salary I feel undervalued and
demotivated (I'm on just over £30k

of 12), particularly as my efforts to
negotiate my salary were shot down.
Any advice would be welcomed.
