Bain & Company Would any MBB Londoners be willing to take a look at my CV and discuss a potential referral?

Currently working as a consultant at a T2 firm in San Francisco and looking to pursue MBB opportunities (Associate/SA) in London. I have 2+ YOE working across due diligence, M&A standup, supply chain, and sales process optimization.

Would also love to learn more about MBB life in London. Many thanks! Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company Bain & Company

General Tip: For McK London unless you have an MBA with 2 yoe (even from another consultancy) you should be looking at junior associate position. Direct hire associate without mba usually needs 5 yoe.

Also pay is lower than the US and salaries are fixed - just want to make sure you’re aware and comfortable with that.

Also note that for most offices in Europe, you need to be native speaker in the local language (few exceptions but this applies for example to Paris and Madrid which you mentioned)

If you have 2 YOE and no MBA, BCG will likely hire you as Associate or SA but note that at BCG those are basically entry level positions (equivalent to Business Analyst at McKinsey; our equivalent to their Associate is Consultant). The difference between Associate and Senior Associate at BCG is the time it takes for a direct promotion to Consultant - for Senior Associate it’s usually 12-18 months, whereas for Associate it’s 2.5-3.5 years (2 years in the US, but in the UK you need to spend at least 6 months as SA).

In addition to that, a lot of what McKinsey 1 shared above also applies (eg UK salaries much lower than US).

Anyone joined LtI recently with cloud engineer role?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
