Yes MBB helps tremendously. When ran an industry strategy group, 80+% of candidates were MBB. And vast majority of hires too

I feel like consulting experience can give you a bit of an advantage over other candidates for the same position who lack that experience.

Depends on the opportunity. All high profile strategy/ops roles I have seen at least in tech require strategy consulting / Corp strategy experience.

Strategy&1, could you please elaborate on some titles and firms which require consulting experience. Especially other than corporate strategy roles

OP I specified above - I’m talking about Corp strategy roles - those are the ones I’ve looked at - for example FAANG, Uber, Heinz

MBB helps for PE recruiting

Not from consulting in general but from MBB explicitly

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
