Does age / # of work exp years matter that much? I have 2 years of WE at time of application but I’ve been promoted fast. Currently at a post-MBA role. What are your thoughts about the young age?

It is a factor they consider though can’t say for sure how much it matters. I’ve personally noticed a trend of the two years in consulting then MBA decreasing, but that’s anecdotal. Everyone I know at strategy&, plus friends at BCG, who applied after 2 years were all rejected. Of course only from top schools to it may just have been a competitive year

You can always go for it. There’s no hard rule. Just have a good reason for why now.

Post-MBA role at 2 years? Sounds like you don’t need business school

Yea damn OP how did you swing that promo? Are you in a boutique or something?

You can get into the post-mba role at BCG after 24 months
