Bain & Company Got into MB but rejected from Deloitte, EY, and Strategy&

Left all interviews feeling decent and cases went similarly for all. Make it make sense

Everyone thinks they are good at interviews/hiring but few are. There is more implicit bias than people realize in the process so you get variability. I’ve seen consultants struggle in interviews and barely get hired go on to be top performers. I’ve also seen the reverse. Congrats on MB - don’t think twice about Big 4. Both are way better choices.

I didn't get interviews for any of the T2 when I was applying... landed all of MBB. Some of it is them protecting their yields. If they know you're interviewing elsewhere and they don't think you'll pick them, they'll reject you to keep their win rate high. (MBB also sometimes do this with candidates they think will be cross-offered and who they think prefer a competitor)

I mean, they'll ask you, but I suppose you can lie

Same thing happened to me. Rejected by BB as well, only got the M offer...

Like the post but not necessary to tag all the companies

I’ve seen two things happen : 1) is what Bain said. Not offered because you were too good and assumed you would get and accept MBB offer. 2) I’ve seen folks get rejected because of an insanely pretentious attitude, but then get accepted by McK.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
