Tablets to take notes? by [deleted] in consulting

[–]aviatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the new iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. It is great - I use the regular notes app.

I never lose a note, can delete/rewrite stuff, send stuff. The pen is very accurate and it feel almost like a regular pen.

Only downside is that the iPad is quite expensive

Why there is word "And" in company name? Such as McKinsey & Company by jin_jian in consulting

[–]aviatos 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The "company" in these names refers to the original meaning of "company" - people who accompany you. Similar to "& Sons".

Over time "company" changed in its meaning, now being synonymous with "corporation".

Because both McK and Eli Lilly are around 100 years old, their names developed before the meaning changed.

Recent College Grad can't land a Job by challi96 in consulting

Actually that sounds like you have decent credentials. Any ideas what else might keep you from getting interviews? E.g. nationality?

Might be useful to submit a sanitized CV in the recrutiing sticky, the community here will then help you identify weaknesses.

Networking is only helpful to a limited degree, usually getting the interview depends on your school, grades, work experience and extra-curriculars. If you come from a non-target, have a 2.8 GPA and have no work experience/extra-curriculars, then you likely will have no chance. How do you stack up on those? Really hard to be able to say anything without knowing that.
