I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

Where / what cases are the best to practice with for MBB? I know there are MBA case books but it seems like they are written by students and not the firms. Which ones helped you secure the offer?
