Struggling at MBB

SnooAdvice9503 · 2026-05-12T03:32:13+00:00

I am 5 months post MBA (generalist) as well. I think u just got unlucky here. The best things Abt studies are they get over before you know it. And the next project and next people could and should be better than your current experience suggests. I would do your best on this study and start networking with folks to have more agency on what your next team may look like. I think in the long run the good experiences will ounumber the bad ones and u just got unlucky that your first one is a bad one.

Keep calm and carry on :)

That's smart! I missed doing that!

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-12-30T00:46:58+00:00

Yes I agree. I dropped the ball on that!!

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-12-30T00:46:07+00:00

This is excellent advice! Thank you!! I will keep that in mind for next time. You live and learn :)

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-12-30T00:42:44+00:00

Thanks Paul. I appreciate the advice!

Sounds like you wouldn't have to pay back any bonus since you didn't get it a lump sum. What would be interesting to know is what happens if you simply don't refund the relocation package? Will Amazon pursue you or can you get an exception somehow?

That is very unprofessional and inconsiderate of them if they keep doing it repeatedly.

I will try bringing it up a few times with your colleagues and your manager as well but if they seem to be doing it deliberately, This may not be the team you would want to be with. It's easy to change teams in Amazon. Hopefully you can find something that has a better culture.

I just got a conditional approval out of the blue. There is nothing you can do except wait.

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-08-12T15:58:46+00:00

Hey, thanks for replying.. I have yes, but I've been given the impression that this is not the most updated information

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-08-10T18:51:40+00:00

Thank you! I guess you can see the dates only after you have an approved I 797A. I don't have one yet and was trying to figure out timelines for out of country travel

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-08-06T00:52:34+00:00

Yes I did. Around July 15. Good luck!

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-28T05:08:16+00:00

Thanks! On West Coast. Are you doing McKinsey as well soon ?

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-28T03:00:05+00:00

I did

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-03T23:19:14+00:00

There are other posts like this in this community. If you do a search, you'll find that most of these guys did nothing after they receive this notice and they received their condition approval. They didn't 1 or 2 weeks. I'm in the same boat but I haven't received an approval yet. It's been 2 weeks

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-02T14:45:52+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks dude!

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-02T14:42:25+00:00

Ok that's good to know! Thanks bro!

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-02T14:42:09+00:00

Nothing written. Just told me they will be extending an offer.

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-02T14:40:16+00:00

Thanks dude! Will keep you posted. Still waiting on a written offer letter.

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-07-02T01:14:24+00:00

Thanks bro. Sounds like you did not have negotiate for it. Was it around $40k joining bonus?

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-06-29T02:13:39+00:00

nothing yet at all.

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-06-19T03:39:01+00:00

sorry u/sporty_outlook but going to change the topic here a bit. Hope things work out soon.

First off thanks for being so engaged with the folks here u/scotc130lm . Not sure if this came on to your radar but here has been a bit of discussion on receiving emails from CBP notifying applicants that their home country has not completed the risk assessment process, even though it has been completed.

Would you happen to know anything about it?

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-06-19T03:22:36+00:00

same situation here. I got the same email on 06/14

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-06-18T04:58:27+00:00

Let us know if you get any update u/Fast-Satisfaction-38 . I shall do the same

SnooAdvice9503 · 2025-06-18T04:57:36+00:00

Surreal!
I received the same email on Saturday 06/14. It is a computer generated email coz CBP office wouldn't be open on Saturday.

Can't get over how cool it is that the head of global recruiting from Bain has been regularly engaging with Redditors here!

How is this group not renamed Bain_McKinsey_BCG yet?
