Bain & Company Hi fishes at Bain & Company, I work at KPMG KGS as a Salesforce developer. I want to shift my career path to consulting (pre-MBA) after completing 1 year at KGS. I am an engineering grad (non-IIT/BITS) and a deferred MBA admit to an Ivy League B school (matriculating in 2025). I will also be giving my CFA L1 in May 2023. Do you think what I'm aiming to accomplish is realistic? I hear MBBs are very particular about hiring only from target schools. What should I do to strengthen my profile?

You could potentially work in MBB's but in their backend offices such as McKinsey knowledge centre or Bain capability centre

At Bain , through IVY admit, you would be given the opportunity to shift within and there will be few partner rounds for it.
