How much harder is it to get a MBB consulting internship over a big 4 consulting internship? I interned in audit but want to try consulting before I sign my life to audit.

It's really competitive so chances are fairly low even with great school, brand internships, and top grades. In the UK it's fairly unknown career path so chances are easier. Have you considered B4 consulting internship? That will give you a good flavour but it won't be strategy like MBB

Yes, definitely B4 consulting internship is probably more up my alley since I don’t come from a Large IVY league school. Im US by the way. How much more competitive would you say it is to get a B4 consulting internship over B4 audit internship?

No one signs their life away with their first job out of college. You will likely go through the audit meat grinder for 1-3 years and when you just can’t take it anymore you will exit to a different, sane service line

Yeah I know I’m not signing my life away but I also feel like so many people on here complain about how difficult it is to switch from audit to strategy consulting or M&A. So I figure might as well try it now will internships are still an option for me.

Hopefully lockdown lifts soon enough for me to meet someone before the rest of my hair goes. Baldness will not suit me well.
