Hi, I got an interview at a large company for a school year internship and they asked me this:

"will you be available to work onsite, full-time (40 hours per week) for 12 weeks? If not, please share your specific availability or any restrictions."

I'm obviously not able to do that because I'm in school, which was clearly shown in my application. The job description didn't mention any hour requirement also. I really need to respond to this email but I'm scared that if I tell them I am only able to work 15-20 hours a week at most onsite they won't interview me. What are your thoughts?

Hi, I have noticed that GS posted more internships for summer 2027 in the US but many are in Quant strats. I was interested in sales and trading but the only open role is sales and trading quant strats. Are quant strats roles more programming oriented? Do i need to network extensively before I apply? I am new to finance and go to a target. Also saw there is an IB one.

What’s this role like? Did anyone apply? I have an economics and stats background from a target bht not a lot of stem experience on my resume… I was interested in the fixed income and macro trading role also but don’t know too much about it. Is the interview process fast?

Title, I am from a target school and didn’t apply to McKinsey and did got cut before R1 for BCG bc none of the Casey links they sent me worked and and now Bain is my last shot. I have been preparing and will have spent around 60 hours by the August deadline on casing. I have an economics and quantitative background and can network as well. Is this feasible? Aiming for a competitive office…

if you didn't get a phone call...do they call all applicants on the same day?

Hi, I am applying to MBB and consulting internships and have no idea how to prep for them. I am an economics and stem major from a university that top firms recruit from for background. What are the best resources I can use to prep?

I own several and got some 2 years ago that are still being used but they definitely have a ton of fuzz on them and it really frustrates me. However I know I didn’t do my part because I would wash them in the washer. Now I’ll do my best to not do that again and hand wash and dry them. I’m also getting a fabric shaver—given the thin material of this, will this cause more holes? I am only trying to remove the fuzz.

I 20 F met a guy who’s 21 in another city this summer. We’re both interns in this city working in the same industry. We’re both Muslim and I think he’s really cute but tbh I haven’t spoken to him much. We go to the same event and have close ish circles but I’m not friends with his friends. I leave this city at the end of the month and don’t know what to do. I want to say something but don’t know what to say? I don’t know him well but am lowkey crushing on him and don’t want to not do anything. This is likely the only time within the next few years that I will be in this city for such a long period of time. Do I message him and ask him how he got his internship and let the conversation go forward from there? I would much rather be assertive and just try to talk to him and understand what his vibe is and then proceed accordingly. We also have very different but slightly similar ethnicities so not much common ground. I’m also a quiet person around guys I like and he’s definitely a very outgoing person.

This isn’t relationship advice but id like advice regarding this!

Hi, i got my ai Casey waived for the 2027 internship due to technical issues and don’t know if il get an interview on the normal timeline. I was told that my application would be considered still. Would I have to have gotten an interview today? My app online says it’s at the assessment stage.

Hi,

I am a 20 year old college student trying to lose weight. I have always been very skinny until I got to college. My school lacked nutritious food and as a result I was forced to eat fried food for a few months and I gained 30 pounds so I am now about 140 pounds and 5’4 which is healthy but I carry the weight really badly in my upper arms, stomach and face and have a lot of excess fat in my stomach area.

Now, my diet is better but I have no motivation to go to the gym. I have a lot of self esteem issues due to my weight gain even though I am at a healthy weight. I just still have a lot of fat and feel out of shape. I have a gym membership but keep making excuses as to why I can’t go. My job has very long hours and in addition to the commute, I always come home exhausted. But at the same time I really want to lose weight. I always hate the way my body looks in clothing and struggle with a lot of body dysmorphia. I’m really sick of feeling ugly. I also know that if I lost weight I’d look a lot better. I always compare myself to other women. So my weight is affecting a lot and it’s something I think about so much every day.

Also, do you all have advice on how to eat better? I avoid fried food and eat good healthy meals but I struggle with having cravings for things like chips, cookies, and ice cream even though whenever I eat these things I tend to feel sick afterwards.

How can I adopt a healthy lifestyle? How can I push myself to go to the gym a lot? I love walking so much as well but am so lazy and can never push myself to go on walks. This is the only thing that can fix my self confidence and I feel like I just ponder on my dissatisfaction with my body but don’t do anything to fix it. I also tried tracking calories and it made me very very stressed so I stopped doing that but am mindful of how much I eat some things.

I have two months until school starts in September and I want to look like a different person! I spent an ABSURD amount of money on a gym membership thinking that alone would motivate me to go to the gym so I have one month until that gym membership expires! Help a girl out!

Hi,

I am a 20 year old college student trying to lose weight. I have always been very skinny until I got to college. I hated being skinny and wanted to gain some weight but that was to no avail. My school lacked halal food and as a result I was forced to eat fried food for a few months and I gained 30 pounds. Now my diet is better but I have no motivation to go to the gym. I have a lot of self esteem issues due to my weight gain even though I am at a healthy weight. I just still have a lot of fat and feel out of shape.

I’m really sick of feeling ugly. I also know that if I lost weight I’d look a lot better. I also struggle with hijab and don’t cover my neck because I have chubbier cheeks and my face looks really bad in that style. So my weight is affecting a lot and it’s something I think about so much every day.

Also, do you girls have advice on how to eat better? I avoid fried food and eat good healthy meals but I struggle with having cravings for things like chips, cookies, and ice cream even though whenever I eat these things I tend to feel sick afterwards.

How are we all feeling and what did we apply to?

Hi, I got a JS SP interview invite and am very nervous and don’t know what to expect. They said the interviews don’t require any prep but the OA was astronomically difficult for me. What can I expect to tackle on this interview?

Mods pls don’t take my post down! I am not asking for relationship advice!

Im a 20 year old girl in college. Im very focused on my classes and career and can’t imagine myself getting married young, it was never something attractive to me personally. I want to achieve everything I want first and then consider that. I remember this Muslim guy I met virtually a few years ago… he’s a year older, I applied to his university as a high schooler and randomly read an article he wrote for that school’s news paper that was VERY well written.

Not romantically but out of curiosity and seeing we had a similar educational background, I reached out to him on LinkedIn asking him for advice on the application and abt the Muslim community there. He was so kind and even sent a follow up message to see if I had gotten in. I chose a different school about an hour away and forgot about him.

Now I’m in another city working for the summer and am in a program for Muslims that he did, also met some Muslims from his school. we’re still connected on LinkedIn and I like his posts but that’s it lol. I don’t know what to say I’m pretty shy, but he’s really attractive, extremely educated on political and social issues and is very highly educated and accomplished.

I hope he’s not already talking to someone! But what advice do you have for me ladies, how can I re-introduce myself to him? Thinking of maybe reaching out separate from this to learn abt an internship he had but. If it’s worth noting I’ve been approached by other Muslim guys and I’ve never liked their demeanor or presence or liked them romantically…they give me the biggest ick and I have never been romantically involved with someone or talked to a guy for marriage.

I’ve thought about him on and off for years bc he’s popped up on my LinkedIn and I definitely have a crush on him and have for years without making this sound creepy. I never like guys like this also. I reached out as a senior in hs when he was a freshman and we’re now a junior and senior in college so 20 and 21.

My internship’s only 6 weeks and I wanted to know how I can find a second opportunity that allows me to work in-person until the end of July and then for all of August like work in either my home state or remotely. What’s my best bet at finding an internship? I want to work on a committee ideally because maybe that work can be more online. Where should I look? How do I bring the fact that my internship is ending up to people without coffee chatting feeling transactional?

I am a college student in the US, I’ve worn hijab for 11 years. I have been excluded by people
I thought were my friends/coworkers, verbally harassed, and treated horribly due to being Muslim. I have also dealt with racism. No one around me understands how much it is weighing on my mental health. I already hate the way I look with it on, i look way younger than I am. I already struggle so much. But people have treated me so horribly and have called me the worst things due to being Muslim and wearing it,
because of wearing hijab and thus I am easily identifiable as a Muslim. I am never rude to people, I respect all people regardless of their religion and I don’t get why people don’t respect me. I frequently think that if I just took hijab off I’d look like everyone else and be included, have a lot more friends, and not be subject to absolutely disgusting behavior and harassment by others. It’s weighing on my mental health significantly, I was severely depressed for a year and could barely do anything other than sleep. I already feel very very ugly in hijab but I keep it on because I don’t want to go against God’s commandment. I wish I could take it
Off but it won’t solve this issue.
I just can’t bear being treated like this anymore and fam is saying to stop being affected by this and grow thicker skin but regardless of that I am affected. Please advise me sisters. I have no Muslim friends at my college because the ones I’ve met have been really mean and horrible to me.

Hi, how competitive is this to get? What percentage of applicants move from this interview to the onsite? What’s the onsite like? Is the live interview easier than the OA? I took the OA and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and the order book document was simple in terms of the concepts presented but the OA was a completely different beast. What is the first interview like? How much prep does it require? What are the odds of landing an offer from this interview? Is right now (late June) early in their process?
