Are lifetime earnings in LMM really better than at MBB?

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

How is performance measured at MBB?

What does the recruitment process look like for PhD candidates for the Big 4 and tier 2 firms? I know MBB recruits PhDs, but am unclear about the rest.

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

Bonjour ici !
Je suis un consultant italien avec nationalité française, j'ai été récemment contacté par une MBB et j'envisage de m'installer à Paris depuis le Moyen-Orient où je travaille actuellement.
Y a-t-il quelqu'un qui aimerait entrer en contact et me parler de son expérience?
Merci beaucoup !

Worked a few years at a small company and wondering what it actually takes to make the big jump to MBB. Anyone willing to connect and share insights?

Have an offer for a SM strategy role in industry. Offer is coming in at 280- 300 TC. Total experience 10+ years, 7 YOE at MBB, T5 MBA, MCOL city. Am I being low balled? Should I continue to search for something better?

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

Is MBB serious about DEI? How is the environment for minorities (both at the bottom and top, including for East/South Asians)

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

How is TSMG in terms of CTC, type of projects and WLB? I have heard CTC is comparable to MBB - is that correct?

Looking for referrals at MBB/S&/OW/Kearney in their Dubai/Doha/Riyadh offices for my sister since she can’t join Fishbowl. 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.

Anyone at MBB looking to make a referral?

Are MBB furiously hiring in Australia/Singapore like the Big 4?

Hi fishes,
Is MBA a prerequisite to get into MBB (McKinse, Bain, BCG). I'm a Chartered Accountant and currently working in a boutique strategy consultancy firm with good projects.
How should I build my profile to stand a chance in the top consultancy firms?
Any relevant skills/degree you could suggest?

Do MBB firms usually give temporary accommodation to look for a place for people relocating from outside?

I haven’t been feeling confident in my work and it’s stressing me the fuck out. How do you deal with this?

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

I had a second round(which was a final round as well) of an interview couple of days back. But yet to receive any feedback on it. Normally how much time hr team takes for a revert? Waiting makes me feel anxious.

I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
