How to get tech jobs at MBB? I’m trying to move from medium consultancy firm where I did a lot of cloud engineering for the past 2 years and enjoyed it. Coming from unusual background (no relevant degree, only 2 years of relevant experience, early 30s) makes me feel like it’s a lost cause

MBB have digital/tech/implementation arms now. McKinsey has McKinsey digital and McKinsey implementation jobs on their career site. BCG has gamma, TA and Platinion. I want to say Bain has something similar too but I’m not sure what. I think you’d find something you like in these parts of the companies. Pay can be less than generalist sometimes, but it’s still good pay.

Is it possible to move from the digital arm to more general role as time goes? I got a first round to McKinsey’s Planetrics (yay!). While still fucking cool, it’s very specific and I’m in consulting for the variety

I applied to 2/3 of the MBB tech roles without any referral and got an email follow up 12 hours later from one of them. Gonna apply to the last one I didn’t apply to last time today

How far did you get in the interview?

Go for BCG Platinion or McKinsey Digital

Hello! I recently finished a Master of Public Health from the University of Waterloo and I’m currently working as a Policy Analyst for the federal government. I’m really intrigued by healthcare consulting and would love to learn more about Canadian opportunities for that if anyone is willing to chat! I have over 5 years of experience working in community healthcare (mainly administrative roles). I also have a BSc (Hons) Neuroscience. Just looking for advice on where to start! TIA :)

I know I would never get an offer at said firm again but would reneging in a job offer follow me? Could it destroy my career going forward? Current offer is a fund of funds and would be moving to IB.

Hi Fishes,
I'm currently working for a fintech firm as SQL Developer which has got me into a toxic working culture(zero support from colleges) with no learnings so far.

Although, I'm from a Commerce domain..I wanted to move into Data Analytics so I learned SQL and Tableau on my own to get myself better Data Analytic job opportunities to build my career in.

However, without any live projects and hands on experience on the tool, I could only learn a few things about these two mentioned tools. So

~1 Year consulting experience, post MBA-- what kind of exits should I be targeting?
Will I largely be relegated to my pre-MBA industry?
If new industry, am I looking at analyst or entry level positions? Any tips as I search (e.g. courses to learn skills)?
