Are hours in PE better or worse than MBB?

So Altman clearly beats out MBB in some sectors and is trying to position themselves as an MBB or perhaps tier 2 equivalent, but they’re just not matching the salaries. Why were Analyst salaries only raised to $95K when my friends at big firms (not just tier 2 but also MBB) will be making $100-120k as second years?

Generally, what does TC look like in your 1st year at PE/VC firm after exiting from 1-2 years of life sci consulting (not MBB…like LEK/Clearview)

MBB 🐠, are promotion % increases already set or is the amount based on performance?

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That is all.

Friends from Deloitte consulting who have left the firm for MBB, what’s different other than pay?

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?

Anyone got experience with McKinsey Digital? Couple questions below:

- Where do most applicants come from for associate roles? (5YoE requested) what's the average background - still oxbridge and top MBA?
- Associate renumeration structure?
- is it more people/strategy focused like Accenture or more tech development
- Where does the majority of their client base sit?
- is travel frequent?

What are other MBB tech alternatives to B4?

Is MBB really as exclusive and coveted as we make it out to be?

MBB folks, I’m a Product Manager (non-tech company) and interested in working at MBB.

Which level/role does MBB can offer me ?

Can someone explain how MBB office factors into the firm dynamic? Coming from Deloitte our office culture is minimal given the nationwide travel model and cross office teams.

Looking for referrals at MBB Dubai/Doha/Riyadh offices for my sister since she can’t join Fishbowl. Also open to Canadian offices. She graduated from top Canadian uni (UofT/McGill/UBC), grew up in ME and has an impressive academic background and work experience. Happy to connect with her directly.

Hello MBB fishes, anybody open to give a referral? I have been trying through your sites, but no luck!

does LEK hold a candle to any MBB practice or office?

What is the decision-making process like after MBB (more specifically in BCG and Bain) final round interviews? Can one or two partners overrule another or advocate for you strongly to sway another person’s opinion? Completed my interviews and feel like I did stronger in one than in the other and nervous about hearing back lol

Is the Big 4 to MBB jump common? I know everyone wants to work at MBB, but curious to see how often that desire actually materializes

What does being counseled out look like at MBB? How does it work and how do they do it?

I’m hoping to get out of Risk Advisory and get into real consulting at one of the MBB firms during the fall. I’ve been at EY for 2 years and I’m getting promoted to Senior in October. No MBA degree, but I have my MSA from a public university. 3.7 and 3.9 GPA for undergrad/grad, respectively. What are my chances? And what level/salary (live in HCOL) can I expect? TIA 😊

I wish this bowl was more active. No one looks after us but us. I want us to share all the opportunities we can with each other 💗

Looking for advice on dealing with a boss who is extremely difficult to work for. For example, my colleague has worked entirely remotely since COVID hit in March. She had planned to make 2 trips out to her family out of state during the holidays (for Thanksgiving & Christmas) but recently requested to stay during the interim, when it looked like her apartment might be under voluntary evacuation due to wildfires. Said colleague lives alone and found it beneficial to be around family (cont below)

Anyone sent email regarding salary revision to manager/HR & got expected salary ? Yes, Plz share email template :)

Hi,
I have been working as accountant for past 10 years at a logistics company. I want to change my route and join different industries for better challenges and opportunities. How can I approach new firms with this single industry background.

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?

Anyone making bets for the super bowl!? I’m thinking a parlay +1 for bengals and the over +1

Negotiated salary for 6% higher than what I was offered and now super paranoid that the company might rescind the verbal offer. The recruiter just responded, ‘Hmm.... Let me talk to the team’ after I told him the number I had in my mind. Am I just overthinking?

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner? For context, our firm has seemingly started making a paper trail for layoffs and I disagree with some of the emails that I have received. I want to respond in a way that covers my own ass. However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a Manager at C2 level who is in Automation can expect? Would be great if somebody who has worked or working in Capgemini can throw some light.

Hello,

I'm looking for a new challenge. I've already worked at FAANG companies (though not all), and I'm fairly senior. What's a good next step for me?

Guess who’s back! Being away from my home for so long was very hard. I missed my family and my dog. I am ready to be discharged and follow other career opportunities!

MBB 🐠, are promotion % increases already set or is the amount based on performance?

So horrified and saddened about that poor puppy being murdered by a flight attendant on United. Please guys stop flying United ☹️

Is going green at SPG worth it? Just started staying at SPG and not sure the value of 250 points

Has anyone transitioned to product management from consulting? If so, How did you prepare? What skills should one learn?

CFA or CAIA?

MC at Accenture. Not sure I am enjoying my role in the strategy & consulting department. Mostly due to relentless work on GBS projects, End to end process implementation and much focus around s/4 Hana implementation which is sold as a “business transformation story”. Is it different at other consulting firms? Is tech a huge part or is there focus around other areas of the business I.e. investment focus, M&A, governance, commercial?

Is there a hierarchy within FAANG of which companies pay more/less? Why isn’t Microsoft part of FAANG instead of Netflix?

Is there a button somewhere to combine Marriott and SPG points? Can’t see it and have different points on SPG and Marriott app but not combined...
