Idk why people don’t understand this. It gets asked 200x a day. You network and get a referral. It’s not that difficult

Are you asking that your husband was at Deloitte and got his mba to join S&, and now wants to transfer to MBB?

1) I’m sure it happens frequently
2) he’s done so much consulting jumping, feel like if he wasn’t getting what he wanted at Deloitte, and still not what he wanted at S&, what makes him think he’ll get it at MBB? Prob going to be the question asked by interviewers/HMs because it seems like Consulting may not be his long term goal

like

Consulting is his long term goal. He was doing technology/operations at Deloitte and wanted to switch to MBB post b-school but unfortunately didn’t make the cut. His reasons for considering the switch is mostly due to cultural issues and wanting to be more of a generalist

Agree with everyone else. You can lateral from any firm to MBB. It’s not difficult to get an interview. You just need to network and turn that into a referral. If you’re not hungry enough to figure that out, then it’ll never happen, no matter what advice this community will provide.

If you’re looking to lateral to S& and then to MBB, you’re looking in the wrong place. S& is not a stepping stone and it feels like your husband wants MBB for the entirely wrong reasons.

He needs to figure out what he wants, why he wants it and then talk to people to make sure it’s a good fit. McK, BCG and Bain are entirely different firms culturally.

Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?
