Anyone willing to connect and provide coaching on how to get into MBB or management consulting in general? I recently have an interview with one of the MBB for EM position, I don't think I would get it, but interested in learning more as I've always wanted to do management consulting. I plan to reapply in a year or so.

Hm sounds like you need a Deloitte referral.

All jokes aside good luck you got this!

funny

Haha, thank you!! I will reach out to you if I need that Deloitte referral.

Recommend reading up on what MBB entails - hours, case types, kinds of work performed, etc. If you’re at PWC, you should be able to get involved with things closer to strategy internally, if not directly with s&. That will help for the interviews as well. Happy to DM if you’d like.

You may well get the offer but highly recommend understanding the role first. 60-100 hour weeks, unstructured/ambiguous environments, iterative deck creation, etc. Do a lot of research on this so you know what you’re getting yourself into. So many positives to working there to be sure, but important to understand that MBB may not be the best place to “test out” mgmt consulting.

Yea... that's why I think I'm not gonna get the role lol Thanks for your notes :)
