Am interviewing for a director, product role at a SaaS unicorn fintech. Currently a principal/associate partner in a boutique strategy firm, have 16 years of total work experience. Would you know if I am interviewing at the right level? (Still learning how the levels in a product organization match against consulting levels). Any pointers?

Hey all, just wondering if anyone here has been through the referral process with McKinsey? An associate partner referred me two weeks ago and I haven't heard back yet. Trying to align McKinsey with my other interviews so hoping people here can give me a better idea. Also spoke with a senior partner a few days ago who said timeline shouldn't be an issue (after I explained everything) , but not sure if they actually looked into it or not.

It may be a case of recency bias, but I noticed a looot of women who are in high level positions don’t wear large engagement rings. Is this an actual thing? I read it’s taboo to wear a large ring bc ppl will make an assumption that if you do, you won’t be taken seriously (e.g., that you’re not going to stick around bc you don’t need the money). It annoys me bc just bc your fiancé/spouse is well off, it doesn’t mean you don’t have your own career goals! How do you all feel about this?
