Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

BizOps takes in a lot of strategy consultants. Almost everyone I work with is MBB or T2 or B4. I just started out of college at FAANG+ but was surprised to see this!

Edit: sorry, to clarify, i thought you meant hire as in hire as full time employees. I’m not sure about actually hiring consultants for consulting work (oops!)

I’ve been prepping for MBB for months but I know I’m still not ready. I’m struggling with staying structured and with creative questions.

Any advice?
