People keep telling me that the fact that I am applying for junior positions at 27 is not a problem because everyone has a different time in life, but I cannot help to feel uncomfortable when someone asks me how old I am. A person just referred me to a tier2 and asked me, they didn’t mind at all but I really wanted to lie because it’s almost impossible to find candidates who took extra time to graduate. I did get an internship in MBB though, which improves my resume, but I still feel bad :(

How long does it take to be promoted at MBB?

What I really mean is, let’s assume that you’ve worked hard and your seniors are happy with your performance etc.
You had your performance review and were told that you’re being promoted.
How long does it actually take the paperwork to be finalized after that meeting?
How long does it take to see the actual new salary in the bank account?

Is MBB slowing down or freezing recruitment of experienced hire? PhD here just graduated summer this year, working in a life science consulting firm. Any advice on when it will be good to apply MBB?

Hi all!

Just wondering how many cases you would aim to do before an interview (MBB/T2)
I’ve done 7 live cases and general read up over the last month and one of the MBB’s recruiting has opened in my city. Is it worth applying, rather than waiting when im more ready but risk missing the window for hiring?
thanks :)

Why is it whenever you call someone out who works at an MBB firm, their auto-defense mechanism is to say "sorry you couldn't get into my firm!"? Seems like they're always the most elitist

What are thoughts on Grant Thornton’s new PE practice? Heard they’ve hired almost exclusively ex-MBB as senior leadership

Are MBB consultants feeling the pressure of a slower environment and softer labor market in terms of more hours of work required and less ability to push back?

I've been at mid size growing healthcare strategy consulting firm for the past two years (post MBA) and have seen rapid growth and am expecting a EM equivalent role here in the next six months.
However I understand that my comp is below market - 30% below MBB and 10-15% below ZS/LEK.
I'm in the part of my life that I think I should prioritize $, but am concerned about the work-life balance impact. Do you think that the work load actually scales with pay?

I’m in a T2 strategy house (do mix of corp strategy and CDDs) and am interested to move into PE/VC or IB in the future.

Does anyone have any tips in transitioning into these industries/anything I should consider? Thanks for your help!
