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

At an MBA, have some MBB internship interviews in 2.5ish weeks. I’ve practiced 7 cases total and find case structuring to be difficult. How would you recommend I improve?

Asking on behalf of a friend. For MBB, the Big 4, and other top tier consulting firms - which MBA schools enable you to be a MBA hire? Just the T10? UT-Austin is what I’m curious about specifically. For example, I have an MBA from a small private school and I know the big firms wouldn’t hire me at the MBA pay so want to learn where the line gets drawn to give my friend advice. TIA!

I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now. I believe it was my only opportunity at obtaining a high salary / profile job compared to my other options that only pay half as much. How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.

I exited consulting to Corporate Strategy one year ago. 13 years of experience, MBB + boutique background, financial services. Current total comp $400k. I studied engineering but never had a technical role. I can move internally to non-technical product management with my current firm (large bank), lateral move no salary change. Would it open the door for a higher salary by switching firms? An acquaintance told me that he makes $700k as a PM director at Citi, is that a reference level?

For those target schools esp. M7 schools, I assume MBB get the most applications for summer internships in Nov. I am genuinely curious what they look for because by the time you apply, you are not even through 1st semester at school. Does this mean, you get screened by your undergrad/work experience?

Also, do we know roughly how many they interview on campus? If 800 out of 1000 HBS 1st yr students apply, how many get to the interview round?

I also learned the evaluation criteria and internalized the generic case frameworks.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
