Who is Hiring?

Pros and cons of letting a recruiting company represent me for an MBB job opening?

I was reached out by a recruiting company for a position, but I know someone in the firm who can recommend me.

Any Big 4 or MBB Healthcare (Provider) folks here and care to share their experiences (e.g., recruiting, hiring process, length / types of engagements etc.)?

I've heard there is GMAT cutoff for MBB, anyone know what it is? I'm planning on trying for the tech strat practices at MBB before trying for tech/pm jobs and was wondering if I can even get selected.

Does anybody know about hiring PhDs?Is it true that a fresh PhD could get post-MBA position (as MBB says)? It's strange because majority of them don't have relevant experience. Do you know such cases?

Fish - What’s the switch between big 4/MBB and government jobs like? Did you like your switch and why/why not? Thanks.

Would MBB be hiring for cybersecurity consultants in the future? Do they now?

MBB. I'd like to learn about how your firms are different than the rest & why you're great st Strategy (aside from hiring from M7). I'm NOT looking for a referral. Would anyone be willing to connect?

MBB folks: any offices that are aggressively hiring? I understand a lateral move from ACN will be difficult, however I'm hoping high demand and being an M7 grad may help me at least get an interview.

MBB are you hiring?

Any Analysts or Associates in MBB that got in without (OCR/H) On-Campus Recruitment/Hiring? Could you please share details on how you went about it?

Anyone know if MBB is hiring laterals? Wondering if it's worth reaching out to acquaintances there to ask for referral 🤔

MBB energy practice in Houston: (1) how busy are you (2) how big is the practice (3) what kind of projects do you typically work on (4) are you hiring?

Any private equity firms known for hiring non-MBB consultants?

Is MBB hiring experienced consultants right now?

Is now a terrible time to try and lateral within consulting at the Senior Consultant level? Looking at T2 and MBB. I have referrals lined up at the firms I’m most interested in but I have yet to apply. Are firms still hiring? FYI I’m in Supply Chain/Manufacturing tech and strategy.

Did MBB reduce hiring numbers for MBA summer associates?

I’ve been in a corporate/internal strategy role for 1.5 years after M7-MBA. I’ve been in a very toxic team and I want to get out. I’ve started looking for jobs and noticed that there are not many consultant/associate level type of roles. My team has demoralized me to the point I don’t think I’m ready for MBB and a friend at MBB said they want to get out too. Any advice on what kind of jobs to look for post this exp of strategy? Feel lost.

Is MBB’s MBA hiring done? Trying to see if this is a good time to apply as an experience hire (post MBA level). Many thanks in advance!

Currently making $250-300k in an IC tech job. I have thought about trying again for MBB (stopped the interview after I got this job) to grow faster for more supervisory or strategically oriented tech jobs but the pay cut, much worse wlb, and worse tech are hard to swallow. Does it even make sense to go to MBB with that goal? Especially when I could just focus harder on growing where I am?

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)

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

I'm currently working as a Sr. Program manager at FAANG. 7 YOE overall experience (work and academic experience incl.,) across different domains with analytics and program mgmnt background. Interested in pursuing Engagement manager opportunities at MBB. Can you please help me out with the referrals? Also, I would like to what's the salary range, hiring process, WLB, growth opp., usually like for Engagement manager positions. McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group@bain& company

Are tier 2 and MBB still hiring, or would it be better to check back in the new year?

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 :)

Got laid off, have a good severance to keep me going. As I’m searching for jobs I get a lot of pings from other consulting firms and recently got one from MBB. I’m not remotely interested in consulting anymore (Cotd)

Does MBB, when hiring experienced professionals, have an entry level position slightly above campus hire entries, or is it all the same level?

I.e., is there a “Sr. Business Analyst” or “Senior Associate” role at MBB, similar to the “Consultant I” (campus hire) vs. “Consultant II” (experienced hire) at some T2/B4

Struck out at MBB/T2 for FT MBA recruiting. Didn’t get many interviews which seems to be a theme for many classmates (tough cycle). Is there any hope of getting a post-MBA consulting gig in the spring? Will firms consider me for JIT Experienced Hiring positions?

Given the current economic environment, would be possible to switch from Accenture to MBB or has hiring largely stopped for lateral entry?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Is hiring at MBB offices in the US for experienced hires back to normal or still slow? Thank you!

Former MBB intern, just found out that the big tech firm I was going to work at full time is freezing hiring and is rescinding the full time offer. Sort of lost on what I do now, I graduate in May and worried about career trajectory.

Are there any cool or fun jobs that actually pay well and are attainable for a prior Consultant / someone who worked on mostly finance engagements?

Ex: Not tech, not PE, not IB, not MBB. Other jobs.

I’m seeing jobs on LinkedIn for BCG M roles (amongst others). I work in the strategy team of a big 4 and have been in the manager role for ~2 years, expecting promotion this year. Have strong P sponsorship. But pay is 30% lower.

@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?
