McKinsey & Company Bain & Company I have a couple questions: First, is it possible to land an interview with MBB without having any prior consulting exp? I went to target school but have been in unrelated fields. Also curious to know what transferring offices within the US is like - is it possible to move?

Yes, happens frequently. And yes, you get to choose which office you want to work out of and you can transfer offices as well.

How easy is it to transfer offices as an associate?

Yes, if you show strong career progression and work in a function where you use similar skillsets or if you have a lot of experience in one industry and can bring that knowledge and expertise. Super easy to transfer after a year of good performance

Got it! If you are open to it, I’d love to connect. Been looking to get into management consulting but am struggling a bit.

Target school won’t matter as much if you’re trying to come in as an experienced hire

Yes. I was a high school teacher. Got offers with all three firms.

If you went to target school, I assume you are smart enough to know that management consulting as a career has been disrupted badly by tech and startups in the last decade. I genuinely don’t understand the craze. If you have VC friends, just ask for their advice. Again, this is a very generic comment so I totally understand if there are specific circumstances that make consulting very appealing for you, but the odds of that happening is pretty low.

Sure Dm!

Hi Fishbowlers,

I've been interviewing for a role since May 4th. I've had 8 interviews: virtual on-site, team members, a case study presentation panel interview, a surprise chat w/the VP of CS. 2.5 months in the process... Called the recruiter today asking for final decisions, told we've hired a lot in the last qrtr, trying to work through finance and reorgs. I'm super upset that they've wasted so much of my time to keep me warm in limbo with no regard to the amount of time I resources wasted
