Yep, it’s Friday.

Done with final interview round of BCG for lateral placements and the HR has asked for a call for communicating final result. Generally they do this for communicating yes or no? Super anxious!

Has anybody here applied to / served in the Navy Reserves (specifically for Intelligence)? Am very interested in serving the country, especially on issues related to US-China (and other "Great Power") relations and am not averse to deploying, but the process is incredibly opaque and would be curious to hear more about the "day-to-day" and the amount of strain that would be put on my civilian career (and how folks have handled it).
TIA!

Does anyone use an under-desk treadmill and have a specific recommendation? I’ve been so frustrated with how little I walk when I have long hours and figure it might be worth the investment…

Hi Fishes,

I have applied to one of the roles about 10 days back and I didn't recieve any calls regarding my screening or interview.

Can someone tell me how many days does it take for the initial screening to happen after applying.

Also, how much time will it take for all the process to happen ( screening + interview + final discussion).

Thanks in advance

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform. Give me a holler if you need UGC for your brands! :)

Looking for technical data analyst in Austin, tx (also have remote available) to join a series E startup. Need strong python & sql experience. A lot of data munging and cross-functional work. Love to chat if this makes sense. Cheers!

Sucks when you have a bye week :(

I have family visiting from overseas. As foreign nationals where can they get no-cost covid PCR test?

What curriculum are you using for early childhood? Do you find it to be beneficial for the students?

Currently I make a base of $63k/yr and $1k/mo in bonuses pre-tax. I manage a performance for a team of licensed insurance agents (service-based role in a direct business environment), maintain our business relationships, and support adhoc training needs. Is there anyone else in this type of role who is able to share how this compares to similar positions and your general location?

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Happy to refer for KPMG SG if anyone's interested!

Late in the game with buying crypto. Single but with limited savings with which to splurge. What is a good price point during a 'dip', and which 'stock' is best in my situation (LTC, BTC, ETC, etc.?)

How do you know people like working with you? I always feel like I’m not liked

Any recs for CIPM study books?

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

So my SO got offered a role based in London, I’m new to the company and am wondering if anyone has negotiated a move across the pond within the firm

A first for me, after 1.6 million miles. Thankful for a delay. The delay on the connector saved me a night at ord Hilton after the ludicrous delay on the first leg.t. Truly grateful united

Do any consultants here use SQL frequently? If so, how did you learn it?

Do people still sell United upgrades (points/RPUs)?

Anyone have any recommendations for home office ergonomic desk chairs?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Is it a bad sign if the recruiter asks you to send all your PTO plans for the next year prior to signing the offer?

Hot take: you don’t need to give feedback every two days. And if you do, you should ask for feedback too.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

On late nights like these, I have so much respect for IB guys…I don’t know how they do it day in and day out. I’m crazhin by the time 10pm hits

Any good resources to learn VBA?

Hi 🐠 . Could you recommend some great books on people management and leadership?
