What’s the question? If it can be done? I know a few D analysts who left at the one year mark and joined McK as an analyst. I’m assuming they’d be in Y1 instead of Y2. But you should also be able to make it.

I’m sure opinions would differ here but you should start networking with folks in the MBB office you’re interested in. Best to go through your school or personal network. Would help to get an interview. I’m sure the interview would be the same as it’s for brand new analysts but can’t hurt to talk about some cool work you’ve done at D. I understand that 4-5 months may not be enough.

Did you go through campus recruitment and didn’t land an offer with any of them after undergrad? If so it may be difficult to explain how much growth you’ve had in just 5 months, and how that growth now makes you a better fit.

Might be easier at the 1 year mark.
