Any thoughts/feedback to jump from Big 4 to MBB? I made it through some interviews with them from a non target college and was wondering if you guys had any advice for a non-MBA path?

Congrats! How did you get your foot through the door?

Hs/college alum referrals - looks like you're a few steps ahead of me, would be good to chat if you're interested

Are you guys jumping from a relatively experienced position (i.e manager or senior level)

EY 1 how did you make that jump? My college is non target so it's been kind of sparse in terms of alumni to refer me.

Following

My college wasn't a strong target but I found one hs and one college alum via linkedin who put in referrals for me. Post MBA level

One of the alums was an EM*

Thanks so much for everyone's feedback. I really like McK especially their southern offices so hopefully I can try to network and get something going. Feel free to add any additional insights.

EY1,OP, A1 - could you share profile i.e. # yrs experience, target/non target school, current role (tech/mgmt), any extra curricular and how you got interview? If you have already answered some of these questions, ignore those. Thanks in advance.

Staff 1, non target state school, tech major, did internships in finance and development along with non profit charities

Staff 2, ivy, non-tech advisory

Thanks OP and E1. OP-how did you get interview? You both are interviewing for McK, right? Can you guys brief me about interview process. I assume HR screening > PST > n rounds of case interview and PEI. Is there any written test i.e. AWA or essay?

Yep McK, 2 rounds and I don't believe so

Thanks EY1
