Is there some interest in a forum for discussing company profiles. I saw this post on the Vault message board and thought our members may benefit.

Also, please let me know if you would like to contribute.

Here's the original post -- Some questions are silly, but I am posting this so that you have an idea of what the forum discussions could be about.

Quote:


First - let us agree on a canonical list of questions for the FAQ.

Suggestions:

1. How do you apply to McKinsey?

2. is there free coffee in the Bsoton office?

3. How about donuts?

3.5 Do you get to fly first class to BCR?

4. Do you lunch with CEOs?

5. Can you go home by 6:00?

6. What if I get an offer from Zagreb and I want to work in Mogadishu?

7. I am in Kindergarten, what can I do to maximize my chances of getting into McKinsery after my MD?

8. Your case interview sucks - I am not good at math - my answer to the case about paper pulp factory profit drivers is a painting and a free verse poem - BCG loved it - they are willing to elect me principal before I start work

9. I have an offer from Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe - should I decline it and apply to McKinsey?

10. I am a partner at Dewey Cheetam, how can I get into McKinsey?

11. What are McKinsey fees? Do you take Diners Club?

12. What is "the obligation to descend"? How low do you have to go?

13. How much money do directors make?

14. Do you have to work weekends?

15. How much money do associates make in the Manila?

16. I am considering applying for a job, what are the exit options for directors at McKinsey?

17. What is the secret handshake?

18 What is "firm format"? Is it blue shirt, black pants, no ass?

19. Can I submit a 10 page resume in 6 point font? I cannot possibly summarize my numerous accomplishments in one page.

Cool. I am glad at least someone likes the idea. :oops:

I will wait for a week or two to see if some of you would like to take the lead.

Not to hijack this thread, but if you would like a change of user name to be "more anonymous", drop me a line.

thanks

I think this would be great too. I think people on this forum have lots of interesting work experience and it would be cool to have everyone talk about specific companies they've worked for and give some firsthand insights.

This is an awesome idea.

For people like me.... who are still thinking between 2-3 industries to join after MBA, this might prove to be a useful resource.
