I am a Tech Consulting Senior at PwC but my primary skill set has been in consumer and retail advanced analytics 5 yrs exp and I have a masters in the same. How should I go about moving to MBB. I am working on data management technologies and its not my thing. Not willing to go the MBA route. Any suggestions on how I can make the leap.

@p1 - possible to get in without mba but always lower risk of getting the interviews since so many people apply.
You could also consider pure analytics roles. We have a subsidiary called Gamma which focuses on some real awesome analytics work. There’s more likelihood of getting an interview there if you have a specialized knowledge which we need but is rare

@McKinsey & Company User 1: Dude, would you b willing to help more MBB job aspirants anonymously?

Hard/near impossible to find a sustainable path on the MBB side and advise on strategy issues without an MBA...unless willing to stay a specialist analytic solution

@s1 - You don’t NEED an MBA to succeed in mbb. If you’re smart, the mba is not required.
Hiring from ivy mba is more about having them do the pre-selection of smart people than the actual skills

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

Any others trying to avoid naming where they work when the topic comes up in social settings? The dynamic often changes quickly into them trying to either show me how smart they are or someone being still slightly hurt. It's a bit annoying and I want to avoid it. Tips? I usually I just go for 'a consultancy', if they ask further for 'a strategy one' and only if they ask for a third time I'll name it.

Usually I try to not get to the topic of work and if it does I focus on what they do. If they ask what I do I'll tell them consulting and only if they explicitly press further Bain. After that just try to change the subject
