I had a interview with the partner where in the last few minutes he mentioned they are taking their time with the process and a final decision might be made a month or two from now so I shouldn’t be discouraged if I don’t hear back for some time. I first submitted an application a month ago. What could this be about?EY
I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!

Absolutely not. Be the change you want to see in this world. It’s harder, but better long run. I don’t believe you should teach your kids to hide their authentic self to be successful and make money. My personal opinion. Teach them to go to good colleges, work hard, gain accomplishments - so that they can succeed.
Changing your name to something popular/local/easy to pronounce is absolutely beneficial to careers, I hate that it's true but unfortunately it is. College friends who changed their last names to white names immediately got more interviews. I stubbornly kept my ethnic first and last name, and rarely get called by name by senior management - probably partially because they can't seem to remember the pronunciation. If you are not attached to your kids' ethnic roots or the meaning behind their names, there's nothing wrong with giving them a head start in fitting in, it's okay, it's the sad reality of our racist world. For me personally, my ethnic name is not something I will ever let go of, my family put way too much thought and care into naming me as a baby, and it's a reflection of my cultural background, and of the dreams and hopes they placed in me. No career boost is worth giving that up.
I definitely would, maybe a nickname or middle name
I don’t know the right answer to this, and I think it’s personal. But what I will say is that if AI is screening resumes these days, it’s worth being aware that it’s not free from bias.
