As long as you have the interview, the Audit/Tax background doesn’t limit you. All on performance from here.

Case and behavioral for 1Rs here. Crushing behaviorals/comms could outweigh a so-so 1R chatbot case.

But also dependent on macro factors and hiring needs.

Getting an interview is the tough part with that background. Once you have it it’s all about how you perform in the interview. No one will care that you were an auditor if you are a perform well on the interview (case + behavioral)

Also, please keep in mind that interviews are not perfect and luck does count. So even if you don’t get an offer it doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for a role at MBB
