629: Bonus vs. salary resume editing (Case Interview & Management Consulting classics)
11/15/23 • 8 min
For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss bonus versus salary resume.
Bonus versus salary resume is a very simple test we do on resumes. This podcast explains the test. We basically look at whether or not a bullet point explains an action which earned you a salary or would have resulted in a bonus. The latter is vital and the former should be purged from your salary. McKinsey looks for things on your resume which earned you your resume. It is important to understand that merely doing your job is not an achievement in itself.

628: Economic impact of poor business judgement (Case Interview & Management Consulting classics)
For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss the economic impact of poor business judgement.
The economic impact of poor business judgement, is a topic we managed every day as partners. Each time an associate made a poor “common sense” decision we needed to explain both the potential reputation and economic damage done to the firm. The former is well-known, but the latter is less known but just as important. In thinking through why consulting firms look for business judgement, it helps to consider the economic impact to clients and the firm.
