What is MBB? Discussions

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One. I knew that MBB and other consulting firms rarely ever negotiate salary with new grads, so I didn't with Capital One as well. Was that a mistake? What were the likelihoods that they would have raised my salary? I had no other competing offers at the time

Anyone got the skinny on Alix consulting?

Got pinged by a recruiter for an MD role in digital transformation

He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez.

Thoughts?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Best resource for creating an MBB caliber resume?

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

MBB folks on H1-B who recently switched to FAANG - did you run into any issues with visa transfer? My transfer has been filed and I’m a bit nervous about USCIS’ perception of consultants and the current sentiment around H1-B visas.

What is the payout to front end consultants with 3-4 years in MBB ?

Currently a big 4 intern applying to mbb/T2 firms, but want to know if there are any jobs in tech that offer similar compensation right out of undergrad. I’m also not a cs or swe major so it would have to be a non-tech role.

Salam, given the recent hiring surge at MBB, I'm thinking of applying. I was wondering if someone would be open to chat, I want to learn more about the work and culture at these firms. Thank you

Any strategy groups or MBB folks hiring? 3 years experience out of undergrad across multiple industries/functions. Looking mainly to learn about diff experiences and any potential opps (if applicable)

What is your opinion on moving from Tier 2 (5 years, strategy consulting) to MBB as manager/senior manager? MBB office (LatAm) reached out looking for experienced consulting manager to join their team

Graduating senior. Have choices between MBB and SWE at FAANG. Not sure what to do. Long term I’d love to be in a small startup or a leader in a tech company. Not sure which path is better for that. Any thoughts?

MBB folks, I’m a Product Manager (non-tech company) and interested in working at MBB.

Which level/role does MBB can offer me ?

Hi to everyone, I am looking for a referral in MBB for wealth management or PE teams, is there anyone that can help me? I am currently enrolled in CFA lvl. I and have 4 yrs of IT strategy consulting experience.

What kind of multiples are you seeing/offering these days on practice acquisitions/sales?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

I'll be 40 in five short years. I still feel like late 20s in my mind. I feel like a kid who just got into college. I feel like I just completed my first job interview. It's almost two decades since? Life is slipping away. Here I am chasing weekends, dreading every weekday hoping not to drop anything living the perfect work life and being successful in my tiny bubble. I lost my father at his 54th. That gives me less than 20.

What's happening to me? What's the point of my life?

A production I worked on is $250k in the hole and owes a bunch of crew members money including myself. Looks like they just missed a big deadline to keep from going belly up. What should we do?

Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

Just got promoted to ACD. Will be taking on more leadership roles. Any books, workshops, resources that helped you learn leadership skills?

What is the industry like in Vancouver? 🇨🇦

My husband and I are thinking of moving out of California (LA) to somewhere in Texas. Any suggestions on what places to work at? What cities are best for our industry? Heard great things about Austin.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
