Hi fishies, new here and trying to get into consulting from industry. Do the Big 4 also do case interviews or is it only MBB?

Yes, Big 4 consulting also do case interviews. Which firm/firms are you most interested in?

That’s the big question. I’m coming from Food & Ag research and development so I’m trying to figure out where my skills can best transfer since it’s not a lateral move. Tried KPMG, got rejected twice. Looking at the other 3. Open to boutique firms as well (and honestly, likely have better chance here).

Yes, they definitely do. Do you have an invitation from any one of them?

Lol nope. Probably never will but I was curious

Yes, but not as many rounds. Probably only one case

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
