Anyone in MBB Public Sector down to talk about opportunities? Seems like everything I see open is all commercial

We don’t hire specifically into practices (commercial or otherwise) so you won’t ever see roles explicitly for XYZ practice (as long as you’re a generalist consultant). Public sector work is rotational vs something you can align yourself to perpetually at the junior levels

What Bain said. Except at senior levels no one gets hired directly into public sector or any other practice. You join the firm as a generalist and can do public sector work and eventually affiliate with the practice.

It’s very easy to do that type of work at McK or BCG as a junior person if you’re interested. As others said, you can’t get hired directly into the practice, but the work is plentiful so you can certainly specialize in it very quickly.

I need help making up my mind on where to attend.

So I have two offers on the table : Tuck vs Yale SOM. I am getting 40k scholarship from Tuck and nothing from Yale.

I'm planning on going into consulting afterwards and am not sure what school to attend. I know Tuck's group oriented teaching is slightly more geared towards consulting.

What has been making me hesitate is the global presence of what Yale has in its name.

Would you say Yale has almost equal chance of getting into MBB as Tuck?

My dream job was to work with MBB as a consultant. Currently, i am serving notice period with more 30 days left to end and trying hard to get any call from MBB but still awaiting. Any guidance please?
