No. There’s an absolute bar at MBB, not a relative bar. They don’t just admit the top performers without regard to how bad the batch might have been overall.
No. There’s a bar. You either pass it or you don’t. Cases do not have difficulty levels that we rate internally, but some cases can be perceived to be more difficult to candidates based on their experiences.

I just went through the experienced hire process for an Expert-level role. Outside of a single 30-minute “technical assessment” the entire rest of my interview process was identical to the generalist hiring process, cases and PEIs. None of the cases were remotely related to my field of expertise. All that is just to contextual use that there’s an absolute bar to clear regardless of your specialization. Where the bar might be slightly (I mean slightly) lower could be in the resume screen stage, as in you might be slightly more likely to get a call from a recruiter if in a more specialized field, but from there on it’s the same bar across the board.
