I had heard of all of the firms and was aware they were prestigious but I didn’t know they were all referred to together as “MBB” prior to using this app.

Are you a consultant or an accountant?

Ah, completely forgot about that 🙈

Only McKinsey and Bain. Didn’t know about BCG, until I joined a project where we took over their work. Thought they were similar to IBM for the first few weeks, and then realized how much more money they had then me. Suddenly the expensive suits made sense.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?
