How do you get an interview from MBB? I got referrals and they said my resume was good and I still got turned away without even an interview.

At least for McK the referral just ensures someone looks at your resume but it is still reviewed by committee to decide if you get an interview - referral doesn’t mean immediate interview

You can speak to the recruiter who can sometimes provide insight

Damn OP im sorry for your experience 😔 Just applied a couple days ago with a referral thinking I could at least get an interview but looks like its still quite a long shot

Best of luck to you! Hope you get interviews

Did you try BCG? They’re hiring the most aggressively of MBB now and a referral should get you an interview.

Bcg1 which office doesn't require one?

Are they making all experienced hires do the online test?

Bcg makes you do an personality test as part of the application and then an online multiple choice test as part of first round. Brand new and doesn’t really translate to your casing practice.

Who said your resume was good? The referrer or the recruiter?

I say that to everyone tbh

I also got referrals for the BB, both ended up in interviews. If it’s any help to you, happy to help you look over your resume?

Yeah happy to look at your resume as well and see if I see any red flags or roadblocks

Also considering doing a stint at Big 4 for the resume boost.
