For those that didn't make it thru their
MBB interviews and were told to reapply in a year, what point did you start studying again? Did you take a couple months off or still practice throughout?

Took time to let the feedback sink in. Stopped practicing and took distance from it to meditate on this failure.

It all depends on how ready you were, was it a lack of prep on the case side or a personality intangible issue such as a lack of maturity or a stress control issue?

Gotchu :) thanks.

For me it was math structuring, that’s been my achilles heel. Doing the calculation was never the issue, just setting the problem up to begin the calculations.

Very well put

I applied again after a year. But not for the same position. I focused more on my case structuring.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not.

Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
