Good night 🤪
My manager (a man) gave me (a woman) feedback today that I need to smile more in front of the stakeholders! New low - soaking it in!! 🥲
I moved to chicago for a job in 2022. The cook county minimum wage has increased from $13.35 to $15.40 from 2022 to 2026. I started at $140k as a senior associate consultant. Just to cover the rate of inflation, which is how cook county calculates the minimum wage increases, I should be at $161.5k. I was at $158k before finally getting promoted to engagement manager, which was only an 8.3% pay raise. So I’ve been working my ass off to not even keep up with inflation. Thoughts?
🤔 Do you actually enjoy your job, or is it just something that pays the bills?
McKinsey’s latest people initiative is warning consultants they’ll be dismissed for incorrectly charging time to the beach unless they confess immediately. An email has gone out to all consultants with an allegation of “mass timesheet fraud”. Remarkable that the approach is to create a culture of fear and jump straight to dismissal, rather than ask why timesheet discrepancies might exist in the first place!
How do you compartmentalize work away from personal life and reduce stress? Starting to impact my personal life but need the work money to pay for the mortgage. And does work ever get easier? Like in your 40s? Director level has been a shit show.
Tbh who are these people
I think it’s the angle of the camera tbh. The two in the middle look scary.
Hmm personally would've classed Federer as McK but really none of them slot into MBB that neatly
At least we are aging well - Bain’s hairline is looking rough
Oh please god no. Each of these competitors is WAY more interesting and talented than an MBB consultancy. Completely different playing styles that all yield a ton of success. Much more interesting to use younger players: Jannik Sinner - McKinsey Questionable ethical situations (PED) explained away with money and settlements (Ignorance and plausible deniability) Alexander Zverev - BCG Talented, but involved in potentially compromising situations (Kohl's, EMEA work) as potential domestic abuse, but allegations can't be proven definitively Danil Medvedev - Bain Solid, consistent and dependable, but always falling a bit short behind the other two. No real controversies to date I can't use Alcaraz because he's way too much of a multigenerational talent with zero controversies.
John McEnroe - and he was in the 80s. Pretty good player honestly - got the best of Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors several times. Borg was probably the best of the bunch though. Made it look easy out there.
Only one MBB and that is Federer. The rest is wannabes
A few look like are famous
