How much more challenging is it to get an offer from an MBB versus a Big 4 firm? Please leave your huge egos at the wayside before responding. 😅🧐🤨

Haters and losers (of which there are many) will argue otherwise

Previously worked at a B4 strategy arm. I'd say 70% of people there would also meet the bar at BCG and probably just had a bad case or got hit in the resume screen.

The interview process is leaps and bounds more rigorous at MBB, it's not even close. But the initial screen to get to the interview stage isn't too different as long as you are coming from a high ranked school or have substantial work experience and don't mind leveling down.

EYP primarily focuses on CDDs / M&A / growth strategy projects, but yes it is pretty much 100% commercial

The pool of applicants has vastly reduced everywhere, the impact in MBB is probably lower cause they still receive tons of CVs, but its getting increasingly tough to get above average people to join us

It depends..

As an experienced hire (1-2yoe), MBB had cases whereas EY / KPMG did not. I got offers from both EY / KPMG (no response from D or PwC), and made final round to MBB (with good feedback to come back).

MBB is more rigorous, but EY / KPMG were way better at responding to recruiting emails imo

No cases!!?? I thought cases were standard for any consulting firm at any level?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
