ive the assessment due soon and i'm really anxious that I will mess it up. any tips from people who took it? what are the questions like? any discussion is helpful

are microsoft learn modules enough to prep for it and pass the exam? any other resource I should go through? for people who have taken the exam, how long did you prep for before taking the exam and passing it? any experience or insight is appreciated!

ive scheduled both of these exams soon and I was wondering if I just go through modules available on Microsoft learn and unserstand them well, will it be enough to pass both dp 600 and pl 300? for people who have taken the tests, do you think it's sufficient?

basically, I couple of months ago i got the solve invitation and related emails but it somehow ended up in my spam. at the time, I has applied for over 80 positions (internships) so I just assumed that they didn't get back to me until I saw my spam today. I was wondering if the 1 year cooldown applies to me even if I didnt take the assessment? do I need to wait a year or will they give me new invite if I reapply rn? any insights?

I'm applying for the fellow intern position at mckinsey and they ask for high school and university transcripts amongst other things. ive a really good gpa from my university but I had tanked my high school grades. I have a decent resume (nothing big) but I'm pretty sure I'll pass the solve assessment. do you think I might not be offered interviews because of this combo? or because of the high school grades?

I went through a bunch of websites that offer 'free' trials however they never tell me the final score or where I went wrong. some of them even cut out like site 1 of the sea wolf game. are there any free resources that take you to the end?

from my experience, they usually do not help you to acquire a job (or maybe i'm doing something wrong). that left me a bit confused as to where do these certifications help?

Basically the title. was wondering if I should even mention it on the resume and does it hold any value?

was curious to see if anyone has applied thus far for bainworks. what was the online assessment like? how did the process go. any insight is helpful!

i'm a university student planning to apply for consulting internships in a few months. i was wondering if there any coursera courses that could help elevate my profile? any suggestions/opinions would really help!

my summer vacation from university is going on and i've roughly 2.5 months of holidays left. however, i moved back to my home country for these months and I'm absolutely in a rut. I spent the first 4 weeks just traveling back and adjusting to my home country but now I'm absolutely bored out of mind. anything that I try doing, I procrastinate and just don't. was wondering what other people would've done in this situation and maybe I can try something else. thanks!!

Like if I got rejected for the internship at BCG, will I need to wait 1 year before applying for a job?

Also, I got Mckinsey solve invite for the internship application but I never finished it on time. Can I reapply for the Mckinsey internship again after a few months or can I apply for the job after 1 year?

Thanks!

for context: i'm applying for an internship position at MBB (not in the states). however, my focus is more on bcg va because they accept applications all year around and i want to join them in the winter if i even get in. do you think they will even send me an online assessment invite with this profile? and any opinion on how i can make it better? my mental math is super strong, i'm just anxious that i will be rejected in the resume screening itself. but thank you in advance!

I was wondering how did people who did this online assessment find it? Was it easy? What do they majorly assess?

I want to discuss how things worked out in the Helsinki branch, etc. Would really love to connect and discuss! Thank you!

Like I have read the job description but I was curious about what people who have actually done this internship ended up doing on the job? Please share your experiences! Thanks!

i moved to finland almost two years ago when i was 18 for my studies, and recently i went back to my home country for the first time since then. being back made me realise something i don’t think i fully understood before.

i come from a very abusive environment and a culture where there is always pressure like pressure to behave a certain way, follow rules you never chose, constantly think about what society will say, constantly be around people, constantly explain yourself, not to mention the level of unsafety especially for women. there is very little space to simply exist quietly as your own person.

living in finland changed that for me. for the first time in my life, i felt like there was space for me here. space to be alone without being judged for it. space to breathe. space to heal. space to become my own person. i genuinely think this country is heaven on earth sometimes.

coming back home has been emotionally difficult because i realised how deeply i no longer feel like i belong here, even though i love the people i left behind. and despite everything happening recently in the city i live within finland with attacks against immigrants, i still have faith in the kindness of people in finland. the overwhelming majority of people i’ve met there have been so gentle, respectful, and kind to me in ways that changed my life permanently.

i know no country is perfect, but finland gave me something i never had before: peace. and i don’t think i’ll ever be able to fully explain how much that means to someone who grew up without it. just wanted to put this out there ❤️
