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 agree 100%.. that’s why I am asking. What should I expect... Never worked MBB and not sure how to prepare.

Ask the recruiter if the external consultant’s interview will be evaluative or what weight they’re putting on the interview. Also ask what format the interview will be in (behavioral? Technical?).

I would get it if it‘s like a more casual chat over coffee but not a formal interview.

So u r saying I should say no that I am not going to interview with their consultant? It definately doesn’t sound a casual chat.

Very strange...

Tacky

I have done this before for the client. Interviewed candidates and provided feedback to the client. Not that unusual.

Thee interview just got confirmed for next week. Can use your help and it will be great if I can dm you to discuss the details. Thank you.

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
