Do I have a chance with MBB?

I’m currently working at a management consultancy (approx. 5000 employees) in the data division (in the UK).

I consider myself to be a top performer and was recently promoted from the grad scheme after 1 year at the firm (compared to average 1.5-2 years). I also have an offer for similar role at big4.

Is it worth applying as an experienced hire for MBB? I didn’t go to a target university so I’m wondering how I can maximise my chances in applying.

Thanks!

Hello Fishes,

Currently I am a Tech Lead in PHP technology and I have total industry experience is 5+ years. I want to switch the career to Blockchain developer. Can you suggest how to start and which cities of India have job opportunity regarding it? And also what would be the CTC?

I almost left my work for a vertical but my manager really convinced me to stay and would help promote me. This was 1 month ago and they promoted me last week. I got a good offer from a company in a different state in an industry I like. How should I bring up leaving after just getting promoted?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Hi all,

I am currently working in big4 audit as a manager (20 LPA CTC), my wife is in a tax role in diff big 4, same CTC.

We have a Canada PR but are not getting jobs from here so will have to go there and apply. Average salary will be around CAD 80000-85000.

I have a job offer in NZ for 85000 NZD. My wife will be able to work, but will have to go there and find a job.

We are confused what to do, as she feels it will be harder to get a tax job in NZ. Looking for any advice.

Need some advice.
Getting in-mail inquiries on LinkedIn for senior data analyst roles where I could be making 20k more than current role. I would look into one BUT I’m completing a masters degree(data science) in August and worried about being over qualified/more of a fit for a data science role once I complete the degree.

I don’t want to job hop or get stuck in a role beneath my future degree but it sucks knowing I can be making so much more NOW. Should I wait for a data science role?

Hi fishes,

Looking for an opportunity for Lead Business Analyst, Manager role at Kolkata location for Banking , Lending domain
Exp- 8

My coworker has just resign and I’m thinking of talking to my manager to see if instead of them hiring a new employee to increase my salary (my current salary + what this coworker is currently making) and I will take care of all of her responsibilities. I’ve been to a few interviews for other jobs, but I either don’t get a call back or the salary is too low.
Is this a good idea?
My main concern right now is to increase my salary. Have many bills to pay and want to start saving.

Your go-to Chelsea boot?

a bit of an open-ended question, but what are the general predictors of on-the-job success at MBB? (both tangible things like test scores, case interview performance, and intangible things like character, drive etc.)

For those roles in non strategy such as risk or implementation, does any of the mbb recruit out of non targets?
I'm a master's student in business analytics in a non target in NYC, and I really am interested in an implementation/ risk consulting at MBB.
( Different from big 4 risk)

For more senior MBB folk (SM/EM/PL+) who exit to (non-technical) FAANG roles, do you need to be in the tech practice or does it not matter?

For BCG, is a senior knowledge analyst on the traditional consulting track? Or is it a distinct role?

is it normal for a recruiter to be flaky and unresponsive AFTER you get an offer?

Are y’all wearing ties to zoom interviews? Maybe good place to ask those in recruiting, I’m not in recruiting so are the candidates wearing ties ?

My access to consulting101 expired. Can someone with access able to copy and send me a few cases for a particular industry?

Is there anyone here from McKinsey or BCG in Montreal willing to chat? Im thinking about applying soon, but I feel like speaking with someone who works there will help me assess if I would love working there (culture, types of projects, etc), and that my interest isnt solely based on prestige/reputation!

MBB offices for tech cases, low COL?
Currently working in tech, leaving for MBA ideally followed by MBB. Thinking ahead because of pre MBA events and long term partner. Paying sticker for MBA with loans, partner in school for 2-3 years after MBA. Which offices should I consider to build quick NW/pay off debt, build strong network in tech in/outside the firm, provide QOL similar to my unconstrained choices (LA or NYC)?

Do partners (equity partner) generally required to take pay cut to join industry?

MBB 🐠: Opinions on carrying around two phones vs. one? Carrying around a work phone and a personal phone at all times, plus connecting your Smart Watch / Bluetooth headphones to both phones seems very inconvenient

Thoughts on pivoting to MBB for a single year as an experienced hire, primarily for the resume boost? Unsure of how a short tenure might impact exit ops for someone who knows that they want out of consulting in the not too distant future.

Anyone willing to provide referral for McKinsey?

Hey everyone,

How is the hiring going on atm for the below-mentioned positions -London:

1 - Associate PEPI position (Mckinsey)
2 - Associate - Generalist (Mckinsey)
3 - Senior Associate - PIPE (BCG)

I have around 2.5 years of experience in a boutique consulting firm and am contemplating between PE vs generalist role. Around 60% of the projects I have done are in PE practice in my current firm so not sure if I am eligible to apply for PIPE/PEPI.

How do you keep track of your to-do lists? Any apps you use?

How many hours do you work a week (typically)? First month in and averaging 80 :(

I did my final round with McKinsey today, and I I received a rejection call from the partner today. However, he said I did really great and wants to keep in touch with me. He also mentioned that I should reapply in 6 months. Does anyone have any similar experience? Do I have a better chance if I reapply next time?McKinsey & Company
