You have a higher chance of breaking into the US Capitol than entering MBB as a manager.
It is definitely possible to come in one rank lower, though.

Yes. Do a LinkedIn search gor current company and click mbb, for past company click which Biggs you want yo include. You will see a lot

Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

There are success stories from mostly big 4 instead of mid-market, but they are relatively few and far between. Apply with referral and see what happens. Unless you have a top 10 MBA and some special skillset, it'll be hard to differentiate your candidacy vs those of other applicants from MBB, tier 2, big 4, Accenture and elsewhere. Getting into MBB is easier if you pursue non-generalist roles like Bain capability network or expert track at BCG.

Jc how much do you currently get paid? Would def just come in at consultant level and even still, don’t see it that often. Oddly more so from boutique firms but maybe due to my practice area

But by all means go for it if that’s what you want - don’t think it would be particularly difficult if you’re good... maybe don’t see it much because the economics ain’t worth it
