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

I did not get a full time offer after my MBB internship. In a couple of weeks, I will be unemployed at the beginning of a major recession. I can survive for about three months. I have managed to get a couple of referrals for boutiques, and I applied to others where I couldn’t find one. I only applied today so I don’t know how it will go, but this is the first time my depression has made me physically unable to function. I have realized the last time I ate was two days ago. I am so scared.

Curious about compensation at MBB vs B4/ACN. Obviously MBB makes more at the highest levels, but is it really that much more in terms of total comp? It is definitely a lot more cash comp but for example, ACN does a pretty good RSU program which from what I’ve read gets people pretty close to MBB. Of course, cash is king though… thoughts?

@MBB - how well have you seen people do when they make the jump at the M level? My concerns are not knowing specific firm methodology (my perception is it’s more ingrained / dogmatic in MBB) and lack of sponsorship at the D / P level makes it hard to progress. Thoughts?

Trying to figure out the move here. Around 1 year post-MBA as a project lead at a healthcare boutique. I have an offer from LEK that would be a step down, but +40-50k total comp. However, I think I can only make a move from one firm to another once, and I'm trying to maximize for exit opps and LEK exit opps would not be substantially better than my current firm, plus it would set me back in terms of progression timeline. Do I take the new role, or wait it out and shoot my shot for MBB later?
