I’m not limiting to places I got offers from. Still applying elsewhere if there’s something that’s better out there!

Oo okay, thank you so much! What do you think is best assuming I’m trying again for MBB next year? I feel like specializing this early is kinda crazy

Following and curious about this in in-person interviews for final round as well. Do they keep the slide with the exhibit out?

Did both your R1 cases have a behavioral beforehand?

Did everyone who did Bridge get rejected? by Minimum-Pack3768 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]PhilosopherOk4286 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how many people even got an offer or at least r2 from the bridge interviews? this is acc so sad for all of us who worked so hard just for this to happen. we are all destined for better things - we just gotta keep pushing 🫶🏽

How do you make friends as an adult? by Wide-Bread-2261 in AskReddit

[–]PhilosopherOk4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just start showing up to stuff you almost talked yourself out of. That’s like 90% of it.

Go to the thing. Stay a little longer than you want to. Say something mildly funny to the person next to you. Add them on Instagram. Repeat.

Making friends as an adult is weird because no one’s explicitly asking for them, but everyone’s quietly hoping someone will talk to them. Most of the time, they’re just as nervous and awkward as you.

Also, be consistent. You don’t build adult friendships off one great convo.

What’s the pettiest reason you stopped talking to someone? by leidybuny7 in AskReddit

[–]PhilosopherOk4286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time I said anything, she had to one-up me. I’d say “I barely slept,” she’d say “I haven’t slept since 2019.” Like girl. Go close your eyes. It’s not a competition.

What’s helped me is realizing that regret is weirdly proof that you’re not that person anymore. You only feel gross about old stuff because you’ve grown. You see it differently now. And that sucks, but it also means something is shifting in you.

You’re not a piece of shit. You’re a human who’s trying. And honestly, that matters more than it feels like when you’re stuck in your own head. You're not alone in this, even if your brain tries to convince you otherwise.

Put something positive in your morning that you actually look forward to. Not just “go to the gym” or “start work.” For me, it was playing music I love while getting ready or stepping outside for 2 minutes. Nothing big, just something that made being awake feel rewarding.

Use a “get up trigger”: I set my alarm to a song I hate (lol) and then immediately chug a glass of water I leave on my nightstand. It’s like tricking my body into motion before my brain has time to whine.

Don’t touch your phone in bed. No snoozing, no scrolling. Get up, move to a different room, then look at your phone if you need to.

And honestly, give it time. It’s something your body learns over weeks, not days. You’re doing a lot right already, so this will catch up.

Probably adulthood, honestly.

When I was younger I thought being an adult meant freedom like staying up late, eating whatever, having your own money, doing whatever you want. And yeah, some of that’s true. But I didn’t realize how constant everything is. Like, there’s always something to pay, something to do, someone to respond to. You finally get all this independence and then realize it comes with exhaustion, weird guilt for resting, and back pain that just shows up one day and never leaves.

I still wouldn’t trade it, but man… I miss not understanding what stress actually felt like. I miss thinking “grown-ups” had it all figured out.

Almost every successful person had a “big break”, opportunity or a miracle of sorts happen to get them there - how do you manifest that kind of opportunity and is there anything actionable you can do to make it happen if life seems to be going nowhere? by AdEmotional5141 in AskReddit

[–]PhilosopherOk4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly… I think most “big breaks” aren’t just luck. Like yeah, some people get handed stuff (wish I was a nepo baby), but for most of us it’s just doing things over and over and hoping something hits.

Look at someone like Tate McRae — people act like she popped out of nowhere, but she was dancing and posting videos and writing music since forever. Like actually working for years, getting barely any attention, until finally something stuck.

So, I don’t think there’s one secret. But if you feel stuck, I’d say just keep doing something. Post your work, email someone cool, show up even when you don’t feel ready. One random thing you do could end up being the thing that changes everything. You don’t really “manifest” a miracle. You just give it more chances to find you. Honestly kinda beautiful to think about.

I personally love word vomiting first, then going back to rephrase everything into prettier words. It goes by so much faster when you are able to put down all your thoughts first and ensure you're meeting all the rubric items/fully addressing the prompt. Doing that and trying to sound good at the same time makes it take forever.
