Would you lateral from B4 into McKinsey as EM or take an industry offer that is $50k more in TC (thank MCK offer) and better wlb? The biggest push against taking the industry offer is that I’m not sure that i am super passionate about the industry or want to commit to that industry for the longer term. I am thinking I would be able to get similar exit opps assuming I do not make it to AP. What would you do if you were in my situation? It’s a good place to be, but I am losing sleep over this. TIA

You don't have to stay in the industry forever, so don't worry about what if you don't like it. But you might like it (most industries are different from the inside than the outside)

Joining MBB at the EM level will likely be a really tough experience with no guarantees of success (rather the opposite).

I had this same choice and chose industry and have lots of FOMO if it makes you feel better. I half wanna change my mind. Will see how industry goes. Pay was the same in my case between mck and industry.

Are u within the strategy practice ?

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

Interested in what the community thinks of this experience. Felt borderline illegal.
Was part of team, we were all good at first. As some time went on 4 out of the 6 of us would be less involved, not reliable, very ostracizing. I brought it up with management. Then my partner who I was on closer terms with personally & professionally did the same. Expressed what they were doing was making me depressed & asked them to stop. Partner went behind my back, reported that and I was forced to resign.

I’ve spoken to people at all the MBBs and here’s some thoughts-

Thoughts? Does this reflect the general people culture of each firm or am I misreading the cues?
