I am thinking of applying to BCG (two years out of UG). While I feel that I have legitimate value to offer, I am wary of my educational pedigree as it compares to folks who work there.

You should totally try. I might recommend seeing if you can find a 2nd order contact who works here to help as a referral. Referral + PwC would prob get you an interview...

Just to Bain. Everyone else, just shot my shot. No knock on Mbb, had relevant work. Posting this to give perspective that Mbb is large but collectively smart. Smart people know that other factors go into where people go for UG

If I apply at-large, can I omit it? Or is that too much of a gap for a 24 y/o.

What positions are you considering, OP?

Associate opening in Denver. Thank you BCG2, will see what I can find in terms of common connections.

I don’t think MBB gets as hung up on pedigree anymore but maybe someone who works there can confirm. I do suspect it’s super competitive but you should totally try

How open are BCG’ers to providing referrals? I want to reach out to 2nd order connections but feel like they’ll say no 🤨

Also, where do you find specific openings? LinkedIn or on BCG careers? (I’ve always just been prompted to start filling an app out)

Did you get a referral @BA?

Anyone willing to refer (after some vetting)? 🙂. Can post a scrubbed resume here

Friend from school just got there as an experienced hire from industry and we went a "shitty" school. Maybe top 100?

Denver is unique in that the office just opened and they’ve received tons of transfer requests from people who want to live out to Colorado. Generally difficulty normalizes across offices

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
