Beware of Change Management...

Haha just personal negative experience with them. Put out gas fires with water.

Get organized. Think about how you plan to organize your schedule, notes, to dos, files, etc. Do get familiar with Excel functions and how to turn out high-polish decks quickly. Then be ready to flex and adapt those skills ASAP if they need revisiting.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Appreciate the input in advance.
