How to get tech jobs at MBB? I’m trying to move from medium consultancy firm where I did a lot of cloud engineering for the past 2 years and enjoyed it. Coming from unusual background (no relevant degree, only 2 years of relevant experience, early 30s) makes me feel like it’s a lost cause

Hi everyone, with the current hiring frenzy, was wondering if the MBB firms in the US are also open to considering international candidates (would need a work visa) with a BB bank strategy background. Currently Asia based, 3 years of experience.

Asking for my partner, and specifically for the Chicago offices. Happy to provide further details over DM if that would be helpful. Thanks!

How crucial are extra-curriculars/community involvement when applying to HSW/MIT/Booth? I'm MBB 4 years and have had literally no time to do meaningful / impactful extra-curriculars. This is mainly driven by tougher than average cases and gunning for fast-track promotions.

When MBB says they don't have hiring limits and they will hire anyone who passes the bar. Like you don't compete with others, but only with certain bar. How accurate is that? I mean in that case cost of headcount will be enormous, since it's not working in demand/supply concept.

In that case you have equal chance of passing in NYC office or let's say Dublin? If competetion is irrelevant here

Would MBB ever move towards a more specialized way of hiring rather than the current generalist method? Physicians with vast healthcare experience for example are intended to know a lot of finance calculations for cases and I think it gives people with a finance background an edge.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
