Why are MBB so particular about B Schools? 😕 Inspite of having a referral from a partner in Bain and relevant experience, wasn't even given an interview opportunity. The only reason I can think of is my B School (just below IIM Indore and along the lines of NITIE, MDI, IIM Shillong) Could there be any other reasons?

MBB - I’m a current senior graduating from a top public school, and I am debating on whether to accept an offer to a masters (non mba) to an Ivy League. One of the factors into my decision is what is the propensity that the resume gets pulled for on campus mbb recruiting, given that undergrads are probably applying as well? I have big brand internships already, and my undergrad school probably scores a 2/3 for brand name. Will recruiting teams put more emphasis on your latest or 1st degree?

Why do Big4 / MBB strategy decks have to be visually appealing to the extent that u spend 10 hours on the template beautification rather than the content? Will this ever change in the consulting industry? AND Ofcourse consultants end up eating all those hours! Sometimes it’s gets a bit too much! Folks refer 25 previous decks just to find that good looking visual! Criminal waste of time?
