MBB refers to the three largest consulting firms: McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company.

Are CDDs worth doing at non MBB firms? Have an opportunity to do them for an extended period but not sure it's worth it given I'm at a boutique. Thoughts?

Fortunate to have received a job offer from a MBB/Tier 2 consulting firm, with the role starting next summer (generalist track). However, I’ve been reading that getting staffed on the projects you want often requires networking beforehand. With that in mind, if I am interested in a very specific industry, would it be weird to network on LinkedIn before my official start date, for the best chance to get staffed on those projects?

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

Do MBB and Tier 2 salaries are negotiable or bands are fixed ?at M1 level ?

I joined T2 and was being told by HH that salary band is rigid.

How about MBB .. is there any scope of negotiation or they put into a standard year 1 band ?
