MBB vs. KKR Capstone?

I exited to FAANG from big4 and part of me is seriously thinking about getting an mba to go to mbb. Does that make any sense?

Sooooo when MBB says cover letters are optional, I should still write one right? They’re “optional”? Just hate cover letters 😫

Are MBB sponsored MBA students expected to return to their home firms for the summer between their two years? I know you're obligated to go back post-MBA, but what about the summer in between?

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere

I want to exit to MBB but if that’s not a possibility what are the next best consulting firms? Looking for at least midsize firms (non-boutiques).

Does MBB provide breaks around the Christmas/NY time frame similar to B4?

Anyone have advice on what to put in a cover letter for an MBB management consultant role?

How did Big4, and MBB, or any Management Consulting Firm market themselves to get clients?

What is your opinion on moving from Tier 2 (5 years, strategy consulting) to MBB as manager/senior manager? MBB office (LatAm) reached out looking for experienced consulting manager to join their team

How does Deloitte stack up against MBB in the healthcare space (size/scale of clients, type of work, etc.)? My understanding is that they are all on the same level, and that D is #1 in healthcare m&a.

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

Which level/role does MBB can offer me ?

Strategy at a large tech company (like Adobe, TikTok, ServiceNow, Cisco) or MBB consulting coming out of an MBA? At an M7 and both look like likely options.

What is an acceptable age to complete an MBA program if the goal is MBB or T2 strategy consulting post-MBA?

What is typical signing bonus offered by MBB if you are recruited as an experienced hire into their Manager or Senior Manager level (coming from Big 4)? For core strategy practice, not niche areas.

How is the current market for moving to another consulting firm? Currently at a T3 and was thinking about trying for MBB or T2 next year

Is MBB hiring right now ?

How do your exit opps differ after 4 years at MBB vs 2 years at MBB and 2 years at a UMM?

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

Was just reached out to by someone from Barton. They say they recruit people for day-by-day contract work for PE firms. Are there any other firms that do this?
