How do I join Bain as an Associate straight out of college after graduation. Is having a degree from the top DU Colleges the only way? 🥲.

I always wanted to get into consulting and MBB firms to be more specific. But I always get rejected.

I currently work as an Tax Analyst in EY GDS. If anybody can help me out with it then please do.
I'd be grateful to you.

Top bachelors college is the easiest way like SRCC, LSR, etc. because they go in consulting where 80% of there workforce lies. But if you are from any other college, you got only 20% area because that's only supporting role. So its tough and also not that rewarding (except brand)

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
