ME. What are the best consulting firms in the region for performance improvement (operations, not supply chain) and implementation practices? I am have an extensive experience in these fields, M level, MBB.
Would be happy to chat.
Thank you.

Anyone working at MBB in Sydney? Would love to connect thanks!

any resources you guys would recommend for numerical reasoning/other pre-interview assessments?
(Currently at a T2, hoping to start applying to MBB this summer when the hiring market heats back up)

Anyone at MBB willing to chat with me about how they handle externships? Considering an offer and saw this as one of their benefits, would really be interested to know how these work--are you still an employee? How long are they for? Is it like you are being temped out to the client?

Anyone changed job from big 4 advisory to MBB consulting after you got I-140 (before 485)? Were you able to keep your priority date?

I have an offer for a T25 full ride + stipend in a MCOL/LCOL city where my entire family is. Could probably buy a home there too. I’m not that ambitious career wise. I also have an offer for a T10 half tuition. Anyone have any thoughts on this situation? I don’t really care for MBB / IB - I like enjoying life M - F. Didn’t apply to M7

What is the avg. rate/hr of Manager in year 1 at MBB and Big4?

What is the avg. rate/hr for partner in Y1 at MBB and Big4?

Is MBB reducing hiring for MBA summer associates/consultants this year (vs average)?

are the roles for ops variably different for mbb/t2?

MBB/T2 folks - would you be willing to do a 10 min rapid review of my resume? Getting rejected even without an interview, and not sure what’s up. ~2yrs in tech strategy, non-target school with high GPA and a business major. Applying for fresh grad roles. Either my resume is trash or I need to work on extra curricular more??? Happy to email it over/set up time. The more brutal the feedback the better!

Hi! What are you tips to prepare for work at MBB. Trainings, books? How to quickly build a network within the organization? Starting at BCG in a month! Thank you in advance

Any advice on how to prepare for an MBB role? Any skills or advice for the first weeks/months on the job. (How to make a good impression etc)

MBB vs. KKR Capstone?

Hi everyone,

I spent 2 years at McK in Asia, currently doing in-house strategy at a bank. I am hoping to return to consulting, targeting ME region, especially Dubai and Doha.

Exchanged some email with a Mck recruiter, but haven't heard back since I sent them my CV.

Looking for referral for MBB.

Looking to get into MBB, currently working as senior consultant in finance transformation domain at EY in business consulting. Suggestions please?

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!

MBB Partners - What bank accounts and trading accounts do you use? Just curious about how high net worth folks manage money 🧐

What’s the TC at each MBB for new MBA hires? BCG base is 190, Bain and McK are 192. What do the bonus percentages look like, plus sign on and relocation?

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?

If you were at an MBA, would you rather take an MBB consulting offer or a PM offer at a non-FAANG company? Consulting offers more location flexibility (200K in Atlanta is nice), but Product seems like an attractive career path.

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?

About 2 years experience in a small consulting firm looking to lateral into other firms. What are some firms out there besides MBB and Big 4? Open to those firms but also know there are more out there. I’m also open to the tech industry but not sure breaking in there is possible with only about 2 year experience. For context, I’m also an international so will require sponsorship. Appreciate all leads!

Is it at all possible to go from KPMG strategy to MBB? Feel like MBB really suits my skill set, attitude and ambition… but unsure if KPMG has the strategy creds to make the jump.

I feel like I’m supposed to be happy and I’m not. I went to a shitty school, got a good scholarship and I’m starting at MBB in the spring. I still feel like dogshit and I don’t know why lol

What levels do MBB EMs/PLs exit to pharma usually? Background prior to consulting is practicing MD if that helps

Hi London folks - what are the best recruiting firms to chat with/reach out to for people at MBB (C and above) looking to exit into corporate (strategy and biz-op roles)?

What is MBB partner comp like in Canada? Is it the same as the US? or is it significantly lower?

Hello Fishes
Just wanted to know if it's conducive to apply directly as opposed to a referral. Looking for opportunities within MBB and other consulting firms within the region.
Wanted to know if there is success in applying coldly as opposed to a referral at the Dubai offices for these firms?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

MBB offices in Southeast Asia and LatAm recruit based on racist and clasist criteria.

You should speak to some of the associate partners and partners that I have, meritocracy my @ss!

Thoughts about MBB offices in Doha? How’s the culture, WLB, range of projects, etc.?
