MBB is pretty tough. I’m from non target MBA at Accenture. My plan is to make the jump to MBB after a couple years under my belt. To break in elsewhere, it’s a combination of just applying non-stop, trying to get referrals everywhere and networking. If you can get an MD referral, that’s your best bet, but I’m happy to refer you to a position if you have one in mind. Make sure your resume is sharp and demonstrates how much value you drive. Consider the STAR/SOAR model

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
