For the ones talking about Russia-Ukraine playbook, this has nothing to do with such situation. MBB Ukraine offices were constituted by a dozen of people… while in Russia consulting companies decided to leave. There’s absolutely zero changes that any of big firms will want to leave the ME to even thinking about moving people outside. Also I am betting heavily that this will de-escalate very quickly as everyone can already see by the sharp decrease in interceptions in UAE!we will have TACO soon🌮

Pre-MBA at MBB — Have worked on a few DDs but have not touched the model workstream yet. Any advice on how I can best discuss my “deal” experience in PE interviews despite that? Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

Thank you.

Hello - moving the NL with my Dutch husband this Summer and am interested in MBB. I don't have a masters (not common in the US), I have my bachelors. Is it possible for me to still get into MBB? Is anyone willing to chat about office culture and willing to give a rec? Thanks!

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

Hi Everyone!! Looking for opportunities/referrals for senior consultant profile in ESG domain.

preferred organisation: Big4 or MBB

Negotiating an offer with MBB. How should I negotiate for unvested RSUs? I have about $400K with a vesting schedule over the next 3.5 years. Thank you!

MBB Human Capital or FAANG Product Manager? Both are in NYC and compensation is similar. I have 7YOE in risk management at an industry specific (tech) boutique investment bank.

How did Big4, and MBB, or any Management Consulting Firm market themselves to get clients?
I do not mean how you are marketing now, but what are the marketing activities and assets that companies worked on in the first period?

Sooooo when MBB says cover letters are optional, I should still write one right? They’re “optional”? Just hate cover letters 😫

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?

Have you ever went for a job and new u we’re getting the job but then see the person they picked isn’t even better than you?
