Does MBB place new hires (with 3-4 YOE) into experienced analyst/associate roles? Or is it worth applying directly to the traditional consultant role (post MBA). I graduated in 2018 currently working at a startup in BizOps and wanted to explore realistic opportunities to break into MBB without an MBA

They seem to be hiring more industry applicants at the level just below or same level as MBA candidates than before.

For BCG you would be placed at the associate (undergrad) most likely or senior associate (experienced associate level), at a big stretch. Zero chance of post MBA role

I’d just apply to the associate/senior associate role, and during recruiting discussions try to see if you can get placed at senior associate. Wouldn’t bother with post MBA
