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

Hi All,
Are any MBB’s/T2s hiring for entry level analyst positions? I have worked for a year and half at a T2 firm in Dubai within the strategy team. I’ve also graduated from top 5 university in Canada with a degree in Maths. Would appreciate any help/referrals! 😁

Bain & Company Hello! Is anyone in MBB willing to help me out with a job referral? I have about 4.5 YOE in Management Consulting and PM.

Bain & Company Have heard that MBB companies are lowering their acceptance rates in view of the economic downturn. Does this mean that it will be harder to pass the stages of the interview (eg tighter resume screening, higher scores needed to pass digital assessments, tougher interviews), or will the standards be the same, just that candidates are being asked to join at a later time. Would really appreciate some insights on this. Thank you! McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

Reaching out via LinkedIn or Email

I’m hoping to lateral into MBB US with 6 months experience and am a little unsure about if I should go with LinkedIn or Email for cold reach outs / follow ups from panels I attended. I thought maybe email would be better for partners and LinkedIn for junior levels but would love to hear advice from y’all.

I interviewed at MBB a couple of years ago, got through the case interview and all and was finally rejected and the feedback given was that I was too passionate about the specific industry the role was tailored to and that it might be difficult to lead me. I already knew during the interview process that I had fucked up because there were a couple of occasions where I made the interviewers look dumb and that it was evident I knew more than them about certain things. I wish I could undo it!

Fortunate to have received a job offer from a MBB/Tier 2 consulting firm, with the role starting next summer (generalist track). However, I’ve been reading that getting staffed on the projects you want often requires networking beforehand.
