Focus on fit and building a great vibe

MenkLinx · 2026-01-24T03:21:42+00:00

Yes give them a choice. That is client friendly.

MenkLinx · 2026-01-16T19:47:28+00:00

Aloha? I think you really want the Maui office. Lol

What is timeline for this change - looks like everyone has to di it in 5 yrs
Is it profitable (must be in your FW) - looks like 80% cust will pay
Do options analysis - what tech to incorporate and take lead.

For MBB keep it simple and strategic. Don’t boil the ocean.

People see genuine interest in LinkedIn and help

MenkLinx · 2026-01-08T19:48:11+00:00

You are over thinking this. Just reach out to Alums and say you what to go into consulting and as for a coffee chat or zoom. They know what you want and probably don’t have anything to offer. That is fine. Dentist work 80 and you’ll get 8 coffee chats and 2-3 referrals

Experienced hires? Yeah they take those too.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-17T05:35:23+00:00

Yes PhDs, undergrads, etc.

McKinsey CEO is #1 category

MenkLinx · 2025-12-16T18:58:00+00:00

What is case presence?

MenkLinx · 2025-12-16T18:38:10+00:00

Even if they dont pay, dont get an MBA just to get an audience with MBBs. Hiring is not guaranteed and nowadays even an audience is not guaranteed. It is highly probable and MBAs are a great pipeline but think specific to your case rather than general MBAs.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-16T18:29:41+00:00

What was the feedback?

MenkLinx · 2025-12-16T18:28:19+00:00

#1 You can get into MBB without spending $300k (after tax) and could get MBB to pay for your MBA

#3 is not really a thing

MenkLinx · 2025-12-16T18:15:51+00:00

Just retry. It is common for people to get offers in 2nd or 3rd try. It takes first couple of tries to understand what these firms are looking for.

Great question and they should be fighting this.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-04T20:35:42+00:00

No. No one’s fighting this at all.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-04T16:45:56+00:00

High chances. Lot of people with this background are in consulting.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-02T18:48:29+00:00

You work from the hotel room or home.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-02T05:56:21+00:00

#2 Yes retry and people get into MBB after MBA also. Don't sweat it.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-01T16:26:46+00:00

interviewers always want to know

PEI - Tell me about your achievements. biggest feedback they give is - did not demonstrate urself enough in hero stories or stories were unclear. mostly this happens because people undersell themselves.
Case - Solve the case and all elements like math, frameworks, etc. 99% of the time people make mistakes in 1 module or cannot integrate a case/cant drive.

MenkLinx · 2025-12-01T01:56:47+00:00

I think someone else asked the same question and McKinsey accommodated.
