Engage in something thought provoking, ask “partner level questions” that pertain to the work they’d actually be doing, if aligned with an industry ask maybe about how they align their capabilities with it, etc. Steer very clear of asking questions that’d be better suited to an analyst level person, or questions that have simple answers/are just information gathering.

Can someone help me understand the pros and cons of MBB vs PE Ops (at A MF, think BS, KKR etc)? I'm looking into in terms of WLB, culture, personal growth, hierarchical-ness, comp, calibre (and attitude) of colleagues, respect (vs deals colleagues) etc.

Serious question: do I *need* MBB on my resume to have good exit ops from consulting? I have an M7 MBA, but struggled to land interviews because I didn’t have big brands on my resume (confirmed by recruiters). I wouldn’t be surprised if most/all F100 and FAANG hired MBB only.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
