Can consultants share how many yoe it typically takes to break into MBB / other consulting firms as a principal consultant (aka specialist in a particular industry). Also is MBA a prereq/ would it drastically help?

Tc: 210k
Yoe: 4

It is quite difficult to come into principal role without previous experience . It is possible via expert track with 10+ years of relevant industry experience - but the odds are very low . You need to have a very attractive profile professionally and personally and the real commercial needs for your platform

Largely agree with BCG1 in terms of level of experience. That being said, we do hire increasingly more expert profiles, but obviously requires a very strong profile and sufficient commercial demand in the area of expertise.

Most (all?) MBBs have in house data science team though. They hired aggressively for data scientist about 1 year plus back

Agree with BCG and Bain above
