I am looking for MBB consulting roles, preferably in Financial Services, in DE/AT/CH geos that don’t require German. Going through ORs, I see German being a requirement by and large.

Hmm honestly mate - will be pretty tough without German. Not sure it’s possible for full time rather than just secondment.

I’ve been working for US-based clients from Western European states, and not knowing the local language (French, Spanish) was fine. I was actually catapulted from a progression perspective, because I was supporting overseas clients. Anything like that going on in MBB?

Hey I don't know your years of experience and which type of role you're targeting but I checked on EY careers and found some open roles in those countries without German as a prerequisite. German could be a plus but is not prerequisite for some offers. You can look for example at job ID 1374782. Let me know if you're interested to apply at EY

You won't find any, all T1 and T2 firms require it. Just learn German.

You need to be able to do your interviews in German, which is generally B2/C1.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
