GM folks. Only 2 question please. I have a 760 GMAT, a top 5 MBA (big MBB feeder) & non-traditional bkgrnd. Recently dinged in the final rounds of Mck & Bain on-campus. Planning on re-applying next year.

1) My MBA GPA is borderline bad since I got the idea that once you have a top MBA, no one will look at grades. Will the transcripts of MBA matter if I apply as an experienced hire next year? What can I do now?
2) Does your referral have to be from the same office or could be different office?

1- Exp hire nobody will check grades and your GMAT will look great on the resume. Just land a Tier 2 offer and you”ll get a shot to lateral.

2. Referral can be from any office.

No relax and it ok to feel upset, but you cannot let this get to you

A lot of times it’s luck as you were so close

Next time after preparing, go in and have fun versus the stress

Continue to crush it and MBB, VC, PE Ops, big tech, etc doors will open up as your career is long

1. Doesn’t really matter
2. Any office

1) i figured a top 5 program would have grade non disclosure? In any case, not an issue at all

2) can be from any office

Regarding Portas, sounds like you’ll be with quality teams and doing high value work - if that’s the case, I wouldn’t sweat it!

like

1) Yes for on-campus recruitments. But not sure if I apply through experienced-hire, then is grade non disclosure is still valid when you fill it through online application. Generally they ask for transcripts - that's where I am more concerned since I couldn't get through the second round for Mck and Bain.

Why do many associates at top tier firms stay to make Partner when they can go in-house in tech and make around the same, even long term? For example, you can make near 400-550k in-house at Google, Netflix, FB with 8-10 years of exp. More senior than that in-house, it can easily break $1M.

I flunked out of school and had no options when I joined the army. I hated every second of my time in, and spent all my weekends getting as drunk as possible.

Now that I’m out, I graduated with my BA in Econ, got a job I love, and somehow got into an M7 Bschool with a 670 GMAT. I look back on my time in and laugh, and still talk with some of my old army buddies (though not as often anymore)

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.
