Which is the knock-off version of KPMG.
KPMG is a good firm. If you’re set on MBB you can always reapply.
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
Twice
If it makes you feel better, idk what m7 or mbb even mean 🤷♂️

Ditto
I’m in the same position, but I’m actually quite happy here. Is it just the prestige thing that bothers you?
Good on you follow KPMGer I’m just having a bad week/month/year and felt compelled to confess
And I am the opposite. Went to a Top 20. Got offers from all MBB. But miss the prestige of M7.
The letters BCG carry more weight than MBA where you’re going
What do you think you did wrong?
Bain should have their experienced recruiting startup in the Fall and McK is always posting new roles. Make the move.
Psa so we can all hangout in this convo together, regardless of whether or not you got your MBA or went into consulting.
mbb/MBB - McKinsey, Bain, BCG
These are universally accepted as the top tier consulting firms.
m7/M7 - a prestigious tier of schools that is one step below being a part of the HSW crowd, and generally how everyone refers to their MBA if they went to an M7 that isn’t HSW, so that you know they didn’t go to an inferior school like I did. I guarantee you this is how Amy Cooper refers to her pedigree.
HSW/ hsw/ h/s/w - Harvard, Stanford, Wharton - the highest tier, typically used when referring specifically to bschools. People who use this probably went to Wharton.
How much $$ you brining in tho
I’m brining in the salt, baby
Did you receive poor grades at the M7? What do you think led to you not getting an offer from a more prestigious firm?
Where did you go for undergrad?
I just had to goggle it to keep up with the convo.
