I am in the process of interviewing for a strategy role in a large tech company. Already did a few rounds, and was told today that they work with one of the MBB closely for strategy work and the hiring manager wants me to interview with the partner of the mbb firm they work with. Has anyone gone through this process where u r pursuing an internal consulting role but they are asking mbb to interview you?

I don’t work in MBB but that sounds really strange from an outside perspective lol

If the consulting company is helping staff up a team its not unheard of. I've heard of projects before where the consultant team helped clients stand up new teams and have drafted job descriptions and participated in interviews. Typically happens at a senior level.

Yes this is not unheard of - MBB probably was the one that set up the internal strategy team

like

Yeah they just want MBB’s confirmation that you can execute the stuff that MBB probably recommended

BCG1 and EM1, have you done such interviews for your clients? My interview got scheduled for early next week and trying to get as much help as I can to prep for this call.
